| intermediate vein of forearm | It begins at the base of the dorsum of the thumb, curves around the radial side, ascends the middle of the forearm, and just below the bend of the elbow divides into the intermediate basilic and intermediate cephalic veins; sometimes it divides lower down, one branch going to the basilic vein, the other to the intermediate vein of the elbow. Synonym: vena intermedia antebrachii, intermediate antebrachial vein, intermediate vein of forearm, median vein of forearm, vena mediana antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| interosseous membrane of forearm | The dense membrane that connects the interosseous margins of the radius and ulna, forming the radioulnar syndesmosis, and with the bones separating the flexor and extensor compartments of the forearm. Synonym: membrana interossea antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar margin of forearm | An imaginary line extrapolated from the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the styloid process of the ulna, forming a border between the anterior and posterior surfaces. Synonym: margo medialis antebrachii, margo ulnaris antebrachii, ulnar margin of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fascia of forearm | It is continuous with the brachial fascia; in the region of the wrist it forms two thickened bands, the extensor and flexor retinacula. Synonym: fascia antebrachii, deep fascia of forearm, fascia of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexor retinaculum of forearm | Thickening of distal antebrachial fascia just proximal to radiocarpal (wrist) joint. Continuous with extensor retinaculum at margins of forearm. This structure is distinct from the transverse carpal ligament, commonly called "the flexor retinaculum," which forms the roof of the carpal tunnel. Synonym: flexor retinaculum of forearm, palmar carpal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| forearm | <anatomy> That part of the arm or fore limb between the elbow and wrist; the antibrachium. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| forearm fractures | <radiology> Monteggia proximal ulnar fracture dislocated radial head, Galeazzi radial fracture dislocated distal ulna, mnemonic: MUGR (Monteggia ulna, Galeazzi radius), Monteggia More common (12 Dec 1998) |
| forearm injuries | Injuries to the part of the upper limb of the body between the wrist and elbow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lateral border of forearm | An imaginary line running along the outermost extent of the forearm separating anterior and posterior surfaces laterally. Synonym: margo lateralis antebrachii, margo radialis antebrachii, radial border of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm | <anatomy, nerve> The terminal cutaneous branch of the musculocutaneous nerve that emerges between bicips brachii and brachialis muscles to supply the skin of the radial side of the forearm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus antebrachii lateralis, lateral cutaneous nerve of forearm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ACE level | <investigation> This is a blood test which measures the concentration of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the bloodstream. Elevations in angiotensin-converting enzyme are seen sarcoidosis, histoplasmosis, alcoholic cirrhosis, asbestosis, berylliosis, diabetes, Hodgkin's disease, hyperthyroidism, amyloidosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary embolism, scleroderma, silicosis, tuberculosis, Gaucher's disease and leprosy. The normal values are 18 to 67 U/ml over 20 years of age (people under 20 have higher levels). (15 Jan 1998) |
| acoustic reference level | The biological reference level for sound measurements. When the term decibel is used to indicate the noise level, a reference quantity is implied; this reference value is usually expressed as a sound pressure of 20 micronewtons per square meter. The reference level is referred to as 0 decibels, the baseline of the scale of noise level's; this baseline is considered the weakest sound that can be heard by a person with very good hearing in an extremely quiet location. Other equivalent reference level's still being used include 0.0002 microbar and 0.0002 dyne per square centimeter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| background level | The average amount of a substance present in the environment. Originally referring to naturally occurring phenomena. Used in toxic substance monitoring. (05 Dec 1998) |
| blood porphyrin level | A test which is used to measure red blood cell porphyrin levels. Porphyrins are pigments found in both animal and plant life. This test is useful in evaluating any number of porphyrin disorders (involving the various porphyrins) of red blood cells. Increased levels of coproporphyrins can indicate congenital erythropoietic porphyria or sideroblastic anaemia. Increased protoporphyrins may be seen in infection, thalassaemia, sideroblastic anaemia, iron deficient anaemia, increased erythropoiesis and lead poisoning. Increased uroporphyrins may indicate congenital erythropoietic porphyria or erythropoietic protoporphyria. (27 Sep 1997) |
| carbon dioxide blood level | A measure of the bicarbonate level in the blood based on a venipuncture specimen. The serum carbon dioxide is one of the normally reported values in the electrolytes profile. Lower levels of carbon dioxide indicate an acidosis. The normal level is 20 to 29 mEq/L. Lower than normal levels can indicate diabetic ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, alcoholic ketoacidosis, kidney disease, renal failure, diarrhoea, Addison's disease, ethylene glycol poisoning or methanol poisoning. Greater than normal levels can be seen with excessive vomiting, hyperaldosteronism and Cushing's syndrome. (27 Sep 1997) |
