| mechanical vector | A vector that conveys pathogens to a susceptible individual without essential biological development of the pathogens in the vector, as in the transfer of septic organisms on the feet or mouth parts of the housefly. (05 Mar 2000) |

| mechanical ventilation | <anaesthetics> Mechanically assisted breathing using a electrically powered device that forces oxygenated air into the lungs and then allow time for passive exhalation of air. (27 Sep 1997) |
| mechanical ventilator | <apparatus> Mechanically assisted breathing using a electrically powered device that forces oxygenated air into the lungs and then allow time for passive exhalation of air. (27 Sep 1997) |
| mechanical vertigo | Vertigo caused by continued rotation or vibration of the body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| viscous mechanical coupling | <cell biology> Method by which adjacent cilia are synchronised in a field. Coupling is through the transmission of mechanical forces, rather than of a synchronising signal. (18 Nov 1997) |
| controlled mechanical ventilation | Artificial ventilation in which all inspirations are provided by positive pressure applied to the airway. Synonym: continuous positive pressure breathing, continuous positive pressure ventilation, intermittent positive pressure breathing, intermittent positive pressure ventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stage mechanical | <microscopy> A small fixture, either built into the light microscope stage or attached separately, it holds the specimen slide and has two horizontal screw adjustments at right angles to each other. The screw motions permit the specimen to be moved as desired. The quantitative type has vermer scales for reading the amount of displacement to 0.1 mm. This stage is sometimes called the traversing stage. (05 Aug 1998) |
| stress, mechanical | A purely physical condition which exists within any material because of strain or deformation by external forces or by non-uniform thermal expansion; expressed quantitatively in units of force per unit area. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tubelength mechanical | <microscopy> This distance is measured from where the objective screws on to where the eyepiece fits in. The American standard mechanical tubelength is 160 mm. For Leitz objectives it was once 170 mm. (05 Aug 1998) |
| uniform mechanical code | (UMC) A code sponsored by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials and the International Conference of Building Officials, adopted and amended by the Oregon Department of Commerce. The UMC contains requirements for the installation and maintenance of heating, ventilating, cooling, and refrigeration systems. (05 Dec 1998) |
| antibody-coated bacteria test, urinary | Fluorescent antibody technique for visualizing antibody-bacteria complexes in urine. The presence or absence of antibody-coated bacteria in urine correlates with localization of urinary tract infection in the kidney or bladder, respectively. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anti-infective agents, urinary | Substances capable of killing agents causing urinary tract infections or of preventing them from spreading. (12 Dec 1998) |
| apex of urinary bladder | The junction of the superior and anteroinferior surfaces of the bladder, continuous above with the median umbilical ligament. Synonym: apex vesicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood, urinary | Medically called haematuria, blood in the urine can be microscopic or gross. Evaluating haematuria requires consideration of the entire urinary tract. Tests used for the diagnosis of haematuria include the intravenous pyelogram (IVP), cystoscopy, and urine cytology. Management of haematuria depends upon the underlying cause. (12 Dec 1998) |
| body of urinary bladder | The portion of the bladder between the apex and fundus. Synonym: corpus vesicae urinariae. (05 Mar 2000) |
