| differential ureteral catheterization test | A study performed to determine various functional parameters of one kidney compared to the contralateral kidney; ureteral catheters are inserted at cystoscopy into the ureter or renal pelvis bilaterally, and simultaneous measurements are made of urine flow rate, insulin, or PAH (if infused), endogenous creatinine, or various urinary solutes. Synonym: differential renal function test, split renal function test. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ear, low-set | A minor anomaly involving an ear situated down below its normal location. Technically, the ear is low-set when the helix (of the ear) meets the cranium at a level below that of a horizontal plane through both inner canthi (the inside corners of the eyes). The presence of 2 or more minor anomalies in a child increases the probability that the child has a major malformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ureteral | Relating to the ureter. Synonym: ureteric. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ureteral branches | Branches distributed to the ureter. Although not listed by Nomina Anatomica, ureteric branches also rise regularly from the 1) abdominal aorta, 2) common iliac artery, and 3) internal iliac artery. Ureteric branches from the inferior vesical artery are constant in occurrence and supply the terminal portion of the ureter. Synonym: rami ureterici, ureteral branches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ureteral calcification | <radiology> Calculi, schistosomiasis, TB (12 Dec 1998) |
| ureteral calculi | Calculi of the ureter. The calculus in the ureter is usually the result of the passage of one originating in the kidney. It occurs usually in mid-life, rarely in children; it occurs more frequently in males than females. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ureteral colic | Paroxysm of pain due to abrupt obstruction of ureter from a calculus or blood clot in most instances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ureteral meatus | The opening of the ureter in the bladder, situated one at each lateral angle of the trigone; wide gaping of the ostium usually indicates vesicoureteral reflux. Synonym: ostium ureteris, orificium ureteris, ureteral meatus, ureteral opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ureteral neoplasms | Neoplasms or tumours of the ureter. Haematuria, which occurs in 75% of patients with ureteral carcinoma, is the most common presenting symptom. The most common site for the occurrence of a ureteral tumour is in the lower third of the ureter, with a lesser incidence higher up. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ureteral opening | The opening of the ureter in the bladder, situated one at each lateral angle of the trigone; wide gaping of the ostium usually indicates vesicoureteral reflux. Synonym: ostium ureteris, orificium ureteris, ureteral meatus, ureteral opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ureteral pseudo-diverticulosis | <radiology> Proliferation of von Brunn's nests, often missed on IVP may lead to need retrograde urogram, pre-malignant may lead to TCC (12 Dec 1998) |
| first-set rejection | Allograft transplantation between two organisms not previously sensitised to the graft tissue. Necrosis of the graft usually occurs within 10 days of transplantation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| learning set | A readiness or predisposition to learn developed from previous learning experiences, as when an organism learns to solve each successive problem (of equal or increasing difficulty) in fewer trials. (05 Mar 2000) |
| low-set ear | An ear positionned below its normal location. Classified as a minor anomaly. Technically, the ear is low-set when the helix (of the ear) meets the cranium at a level below that of a horizontal plane through both inner canthi (the inside corners of the eyes). The presence of 2 or more minor anomalies in a child increases the probability that the child has a major malformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
