| conoscopic observation | <microscopy> The study of the back focal plane of the objective by removing the eyepiece, by inserting a Bertrand lens, by examining the image at the eye point above the eyepiece with a magnifier or by using a phase telescope is called conoscopic because the observations are associated with the cone of light furnished by the condenser and viewed by the objective (cf. Orthoscopic). (05 Aug 1998) |
| observation | An act or the faculty of observing or taking notice: an act of seeing or fixing the mind upon something, an act of recognising and noting measurement of some magnitude with suitable instruments. (18 Nov 1997) |
| orthoscopic observation | <microscopy> The normal way of viewing an object microscopically (cf., conoscopic observation). With Kohler illumination the field diaphragm and the ocular front focal plane as well as the specimen will be in simultaneous focus. (05 Aug 1998) |
| cardiac infarction | A term used to describe irreversible injury to heart muscle. Synonym: heart attack. See: infarction. Common symptoms include substernal, crushing chest pain that may radiate to the jaw or arms. Chest pains may be associated with nausea, sweating and shortness of breath. Acronym: MI (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebral infarction | Infarction of brain tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| peri-infarction block | An electrocardiographic abnormality associated with an old myocardial infarct and caused by delayed activation of the myocardium in the region of the infarct; characterised by an initial vector directed away from the infarcted region with the terminal vector directed toward it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| watershed infarction | Cortical infarction in an area where the distribution of major cerebral arteries meet or overlap. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postmyocardial infarction pericarditis | <pathology> Inflammation of the pericardium. (18 Nov 1997) |
| postmyocardial infarction syndrome | <syndrome> A complication developing several days to several weeks after myocardial infarction; its clinical features are fever, leukocytosis, chest pain, and evidence of pericarditis, sometimes with pleurisy and pneumonitis, with a strong tendency to recurrence; probably of immunopathogenetic origin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heart rupture, post-infarction | Rupture of the heart after myocardial infarction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| splenic infarction | Cell death (necrosis) of a portion or all of the spleen due to an interruption in blood flow. (27 Sep 1997) |
| infarction | 1. <cardiology> The formation of an infarct. 2. An infarct. Origin: L. Infarcire = to stuff in (18 Nov 1997) |
| biopsy, myocardial | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure which involves the removal of a small specimen of cardiac muscle tissue for microscopic analysis. This is generally performed at the same time as a cardiac catheterisation or as a very similar, yet separate, procedure. A small piece of heart tissue is taken via a small forceps inserted into the cardiac catheter site (usually threaded through a vein in the neck). This test may reveal the cause of a cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, amyloidosis or a heart transplant rejection. (21 Mar 1998) |
| myocardial | Refers to the heart's muscle mass. (09 Oct 1997) |
