| total iron binding capacity | <biochemistry, haematology> A test that measures indirectly the transferrin level in the bloodstream. Transferrin is a protein that carries iron in the body. Normal values are 240 to 450 mcg/dl. This test is used to evaluate anaemia. Greater than normal total iron binding capacity can be seen in: iron deficiency anaemia, late pregnancy and polycythaemia vera. Lower than normal total iron binding capacity can be seen in cirrhosis, sickle cell anaemia, hypoproteinaemia, pernicious anaemia and haemolytic anaemia. The use of birth control pills can lead to increased total iron binding capacity measurements. Acronym: TIBC (12 Jan 1998) |
| total joint arthroplasty | Arthroplasty in which both joint surfaces are replaced with artificial materials, usually metal and high-density plastic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total keratoplasty | Corneal transplant in which the entire cornea is removed and replaced. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total knee joint replacement | Surgery involving the replacement of the knee joint with artificial components which reestablishes normal joint function. Indicated in cases of severe knee fracture or degenerative arthritis (DJD) unresponsive to medical therapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| total lung capacity | The volume of air contained in the lungs at the end of a maximal inspiration. It is the equivalent to each of the following sums: vital capacity plus residual volume; inspiratory capacity plus functional residual capacity; tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume plus functional residual capacity; tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume plus expiratory reserve volume plus residual volume. (12 Dec 1998) |
| total lung capacity |
the volume of gas contained in the lungs at the end of a maximal inspiration; abbreviated TLC. See illustration.

| total hip replacement |
Hip replacement is the most successful, cheapest and safest form of replacement surgery. The first artificial hips were inserted in the 1930s, made of steel or chrome. They were better than arthritis but had a number of drawbacks. The main problem being that the articulating surfaces could not be lubricated by the body, leading to wear and loosening and hence the need to replace the joint again (known as revision operations). ...

| total lung capacity |
The average pair of human lungs can hold about 6 litres of air, but only a small amount is used during normal breathing. Different lung volumes and capacities measure various features about the lungs. These volumes vary with the age and height of the person, the values here are for a 70 kg, average-sized adult male: *Total Lung Capacity (TLC), about six litres, is all the air the lungs can hold. ...

| total parenteral nutrition |
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN), also called hyperalimentation, is the practice of feeding a person without using the gut. It is normally used during surgical recoveries. It has been used for patients in coma, although enteric (tube) feeding is usually adequate, and less prone to complications. Chronic TPN is occasionally used treat people suffering the extended consequences of an accident or surgery. ...
