| tinea pedis | Tinea involving the feet, particularly the interdigital spaces and soles, most often caused by Trichophyton rubrum, T. Mentagrophytes or Epidermophyton floccosum and characterised by intensely pruritic lesions varying from mild, chronic and scaling to acute exfoliative, pustular and bullous. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tinea profunda | Erythematous papules due to a deep follicular fungal infection with rupture of the hair follicles; most frequently seen on shaved legs of women. Synonym: tinea profunda. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tinea sycosis | Tinea of the beard, occurring as a follicular infection or as a granulomatous lesion; the primary lesions are papules and pustules. Synonym: barber's itch, folliculitis barbae, ringworm of beard, tinea sycosis, trichophytosis barbae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tinea tonsurans | Tinea capitis or tinea corporis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans; characterised by small plaques and fewer broken off hairs than in tinea capitis caused by other species. Synonym: porrigo furfurans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tinea tropicalis | An eruption consisting of a number of concentric rings of overlapping scales forming papulosquamous patches scattered over the body; it occurs in tropical climates and is caused by the fungus Trichophyton concentricum. Synonym: herpes desquamans, Malabar itch, Oriental ringworm, scaly ringworm, tinea tropicalis, Tokelau ringworm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tinea unguium | The most common fungus infection of the nails (onychomycosis). Onychomycosis makes the nails look white and opaque, thickened, and brittle. Older women (perhaps because oestrogen deficiency may increase the risk of infection). And men and women with diabetes or disease of the small blood vessels (peripheral vacscular disease) are at increased risk. Artificial nails (acrylic or wraps ) increase the risk because when an artificial nail is applied, the nail surface is usually abraded with an emery board damaging it, emery boards can carry infection, and. Water can collect under the nail creating a moist, warm environment for fungal growth. Alternative names include ringworm of the nails and dermatophytic onychomycosis. (17 Dec 1998) |
| tinea versicolor | A common chronic, noninflammatory and usually symptomless disorder, characterised by the occurrence of multiple macular patches of all sizes and shapes, and varying in pigmentation from fawn-coloured to brown. It is seen most frequently in hot, humid, tropical regions, and is caused by pityrosporon orbiculare. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tinea versicolour | A fungal infection of the sun exposed (sun fungus) areas of the skin that results in patchy areas of depigmentation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| apex capitis fibulae | The pointed upper end of the fibular head to which is attached the arcuate popliteal ligament and part of the biceps femoris tendon. Synonym: apex capitis fibulae, styloid process of fibula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articulatio capitis costae | The synovial joint between a rib and bodies of two adjacent vertebrae; the joint cavity is divided by an intra-articular ligament which attaches to the intervertebral disk; the first, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth ribs articulate with only one vertebra. Synonym: articulatio capitis costae, capitular joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectus capitis anterior | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, transverse process and lateral mass of atlas; insertion, basilar process of occipital bone; action, turns and inclines head forward; nerve supply, ventral primary ramus of first and second cervical spinal nerve. Synonym: musculus rectus capitis anterior, anterior rectus muscle of head, musculus rectus capitis anticus minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectus capitis lateralis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, transverse process of atlas; insertion, jugular process of occipital bone; action, inclines head to one side; nerve supply, ventral primary ramus of first cervical spinal nerve. Synonym: musculus rectus capitis lateralis, lateral rectus muscle of the head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectus capitis posterior major | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, spinous process of axis; insertion, middle of inferior nuchal line of occipital bone; action, rotates and draws head backward; nerve supply, dorsal branch of first cervical (suboccipital). See: suboccipital muscles. Synonym: musculus rectus capitis posterior major, greater posterior rectus muscle of head, musculus rectus capitis posticus major. (05 Mar 2000) |
