| secondary tuberculosis | Tuberculosis found in adults and characterised by lesions near the apex of an upper lobe, which may cavitate or heal with scarring without spreading to lymph nodes; theoretically, secondary tuberculosis may be due to exogenous reinfection or to reactivation of a dormant endogenous infection. Synonym: adult tuberculosis, postprimary tuberculosis, reinfection tuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary tumour | <oncology> A tumour that develops as a result of metastasis or spreads beyond the original cancer. (09 Oct 1997) |
| secondary tympanic membrane | The membrane closing the fenestra cochleae or rotunda. Synonym: membrana tympani secundaria, Scarpa's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary union | Delayed closure of two granulating surfaces. Synonym: secondary adhesion, secondary union. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary villus | An intermediate stage of chorionic villus development following invasion by a connective tissue core. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary visual area | Area of the occipital lobe concerned with vision. (12 Dec 1998) |

| spectrometry, mass, secondary ion | A mass-spectrometric technique that is used for microscopic chemical analysis. A beam of primary ions with an energy of 5-20 kiloelectronvolts (kev) bombards a small spot on the surface of the sample under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Positive and negative secondary ions sputtered from the surface are analyzed in a mass spectrometer in regards to their mass-to-charge ratio. (12 Dec 1998) |
