| double outlet right ventricle | <cardiology, embryology> Incomplete transposition of the great vessels in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery arise from the right ventricle, often associated with a subaortic ventricular septal defect. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| infralobar part of posterior branch of right pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein draining the posterior segment of the right lung that emerges inferior to the superior lobe; tributary to the posterior branch of the right superior pulmonary vein. Synonym: pars infralobaris rami posterioris venae pulmonalis dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| left-to-right shunt | A diversion of blood from the left side of the heart to right (as through a septal defect), or from the systemic circulation to the pulmonary (as through a patent ductus arteriosus). (05 Mar 2000) |
| left-to-right shunts | <radiology> Atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, aorticopulmonary window, endocardial cushion defect, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (12 Dec 1998) |
| Babes' nodes | Collections of lymphocytes in the central nervous system found in rabies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| big axillary nodes and normal breasts | <radiology> Consider: lymphoma, leukaemia, rheumatoid arthritis (12 Dec 1998) |
| ranvier's nodes | Regularly spaced gaps in the myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. Ranvier's nodes allow saltatory conduction, that is, jumping of impulses from node to node, which is faster and more energetically favourable than continuous conduction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mandibular nodes | One of the facial lymph nodes located by the facial artery near the point it crosses the mandible. Synonym: nodus mandibularis, mandibular nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal nodes | The lymph nodes draining the walls of the abdomen or of the pelvis. Synonym: nodi lymphatici parietales, parietal nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral nodes | The lymph nodes draining the viscera of the abdomen or of the pelvis. Synonym: nodi viscerales, visceral nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retropyloric nodes | A group of lymph nodes located behind the pylorus. Synonym: nodi retropylorici, retropyloric nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| milkers' nodes | An infection of cows' udders by pseudocowpox virus, a member of the Poxviridae, that is transmitted to the fingers and hands of milkers, producing nodules and lymphangitis, and occasionally widespread papular or papulovesicular eruptions; human infection is transferable to uninfected cows. Synonym: milkers' nodes, paravaccinia, pseudocowpox. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Haygarth's nodes | <anatomy> Exostoses from the margins of the articular surfaces and from the periosteum and bone in the neighborhood of the joints of the fingers, leading to ankylosis and associated with lateral deflection of the fingers toward the ulnar side, which occur in rheumatoid arthritis. Synonym: Haygarth's nodosities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Heberden's nodes | Exostoses about the size of a pea or smaller, found on the terminal phalanges of the fingers in osteoarthritis, which are enlargements of the tubercles at the articular extremities of the distal phalanges. Synonym: Heberden's nodosities, Rosenbach's disease, tuberculum arthriticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
