| hot pack | A pack of cloth or other material soaked in hot water, or producing moist heat by another means. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hot salt steriliser | A steriliser for endodontic equipment in which table salt is heated in a container at 218 to 246캜; the dry heat is transmitted to root canal instruments, absorbent points, or cotton pellets for their rapid (5 to 10 seconds) sterilization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hot-short | <chemistry> More or less brittle when heated; as, hot-short iron. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| hot spleen | <radiology> Decreased liver uptake, liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis), shunting of portal venous blood, increased splenic uptake, haematopoietic disease, septicaemia, rheumatoid disorders, immunostimulation (tumour, Aldomet, IL-2) see: liver-spleen scan (12 Dec 1998) |
| hot spot | <molecular biology> A particular area of DNA which is especially prone to spontaneous mutations or recombinations. (09 Oct 1997) |

| arthritis deformans | A systemic disease, seen more commonly in women which affects connective tissue, particularly the synovial tissue within joints. Arthritis is the main clinical feature and involves many joints in the body, especially those of the hand and feet. In this disease, there is thickening of the soft tissues around the joints and extension of the synovial tissue over articular cartilage (which becomes eroded). A chronic and progressive course is common with joint deformities and disability. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a variant which affects children. (27 Sep 1997) |
| arthritis, degenerative | A type of arthritis caused by inflammation, breakdown, and eventual loss of the cartilage of the joints. Also called osteoarthritis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthritis-encephalitis virus, caprine | A species of lentivirus, subgenus ovine-caprine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, ovine-caprine), closely related to visna-maedi virus and causing acute encephalomyelitis, chronic arthritis, pneumonia, mastitis, and glomerulonephritis in goats. It is transmitted mainly in the colostrum and milk. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthritis, gout | Joint inflammation caused by uric acid crystal deposits in the joint space An attack is usually extremely painful.The uric acid crystals are deposited in the joint fluid (synovial fluid) and joint lining (synovial lining). Intense joint inflammation occurs as white blood cells engulf the uric acid crystals, causing pain, heat, and redness of the joint tissues. The term gout commonly is used to refer to these painful arthritis attacks but gouty arthritis is only one manifeatation of gout. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthritis, gouty | Arthritis, especially of the great toe, as a result of gout. Acute gouty arthritis often is precipitated by trauma, infection, surgery, etc. The initial attacks are usually monoarticular but later attacks are often polyarticular. (12 Dec 1998) |
