| A2 P2 | aortic second sound; pulmonary second sound |
| ABPE | acute bovine pulmonary edema |
| AIPE | acute interstitial pulmonary emphysema; alcoholism intervention performance evaluation |
| interstitial pulmonary fibrosis | <radiology> Idiopathic, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AKA: usual interstitial pneumonitis), Hamman-Rich syndrome (rapidly progressive), drug-related, collagen-vascular disease, rheumatoid lung disease, scleroderma (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| intralobar part of the right superior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein draining the apical and posterior segments of the right lung; tributary to the posterior branch of the right superior pulmonary vein. Synonym: pars intralobaris venae pulmonalis dextrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive pulmonary overinflation | Emphysema caused by obstruction of airways that has greater effect on expiration than inspiration; occurs reversibly with bronchospasm of asthma; localised process can be due to aspiration of a foreign body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| opening of pulmonary trunk | The opening of the pulmonary trunk from the right ventricle, guarded by the pulmonary valve. Synonym: ostium trunci pulmonalis, pulmonary orifice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| openings of pulmonary veins | The orifices of the pulmonary veins, usually two on each side, in the wall of the left atrium. Synonym: ostia venarum pulmonalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| echinococcosis, pulmonary | Helminth infection of the lung caused by echinococcus granulosus or echinococcus multilocularis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| total anomalous pulmonary venous return | <radiology> (TAPVR) admixture lesion: cyanosis, increased pulmonary blood flow, must have L to R shunt for survival (e.g., atrial septal defect) associated with, atrial septal defect, asplenia (12 Dec 1998) |
| total or partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections | Connections in which some or all of the pulmonary veins connect to the right atrium or one of its tributaries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Trusler's rule for pulmonary artery banding | A method that gives guidance as to the correct tightness of the band; the degree of banding for a complex congenital cardiac anomaly with bidirectional shunting less than that for simple ones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberculosis, pulmonary | Tuberculosis of the lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| juxta-oesophageal pulmonary lymph nodes | Several nodes of the posterior mediastinal group located along either side of the oesophagus; they receive lymph from both the oesophagus and the lungs. Synonym: nodi lymphatici juxta-oesophageales pulmonales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left inferior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein returning oxygenated blood from the inferior lobe of the left lung to the left atrium. Synonym: vena pulmonalis inferior sinistra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left pulmonary artery | <anatomy, artery> The shorter of the two terminal branches of the pulmonary trunk, it pierces the pericardium to enter the hilum of the left lung. Its branches accompany the segmental and subsegmental bronchi. Branches to the superior lobe (rami lobi superioris ) are apical (ramus apicalis ), anterior ascending (ramus anterior ascendens ), anterior descending (ramus anterior descendens ), posterior (ramus posterior ), and lingular (ramus lingularis ), the last having inferior and superior branches (rami lingulares inferior et superior ). Branches to the inferior lobe (rami lobi inferioris ) are the superior branch of the inferior lobe (ramus superior lobi inferior ) and the medial (medialis), anterior, lateral (lateralis) and posterior basal branches (rami basalis ). Synonym: arteria pulmonalis sinistra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left superior pulmonary vein | The vein returning oxygenated blood from the left superior lobe of the lung to the left atrium. Synonym: vena pulmonalis superior sinistra. (05 Mar 2000) |
