| machine, heart-lung | A machine that does the work both of the heart (pump blood) and the lungs (oxygenate the blood). Used, for example, in open heart surgery. Blood returning to the heart is diverted through the machine before returning it to the arterial circulation. Also called a pump-oxygenator. (12 Dec 1998) |

| malt-worker's lung | <chest medicine> Extrinsic allergic alveolitis caused by inhalation of spores of Aspergillus clavatus and Aspergillus fumigatus from contaminated barley during the manufacture of beer. (22 Sept 2002) |
| ventilation/perfusion lung imaging | <radiology> See: ventilation agents, perfusion agents, Biello-Siegel criteria (12 Dec 1998) |

| rheumatoid lung disease | <radiology> Pleural effusion, most common finding, seen mostly in males (although RA more common in females), diffuse interstitial fibrosis, necrobiotic nodules, Caplan syndrome, nodules and pneumoeritis and hypertension (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesentery of lung | The reflection of pleura surrounding the root of the lung (including the pulmonary ligament inferiorly) as parietal pleura becomes continuous with the visceral pleura of the lung. Synonym: mesentery of lung. (05 Mar 2000) |
