|---|---|
| compression syndrome | Trauma and ischemia of soft tissues, principally skeletal muscle, due to prolonged severe crushing of the tissues, leading to increased permeability of the cell membrane and to the release of potassium, enzymes, and myoglobin from within cells. Ischemic renal dysfunction secondary to hypotension and diminished renal perfusion results in acute tubular necrosis and uraemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| compression thrombosis | Thrombosis due to arrest of the circulation in a vessel by compression, as from a tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compression wave | <radiobiology> Waves where the quantity which oscillates is the density of the medium, that is the medium at a given point alternately compresses and expands. Low-amplitude compression waves in air or water are commonly known as sound waves, shock waves are a high-amplitude form. Synonym: density wave. (13 Jan 1998) |
| compressive ear dressing | <otolaryngology> A thick (mound) dressing of soft gauze is applied over the ear and then a circular wrap is applied around the head. This is usually performed to prevent ear swelling that can result in cauliflower ear. (05 Jan 1998) |
| compressive myelopathy | Destruction of spinal cord tissue caused by pressure from neoplasms, haematomas, or other masses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressive nystagmus | A jerky nystagmus resulting from unilateral changes of pressure in saemicircular canals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressive strength | The maximum compression a material can withstand without failure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| compressor | 1. A muscle, contraction of which causes compression of any structure. 2. An instrument for making pressure on a part, especially on an artery to prevent loss of blood. Synonym: compressorium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressor muscle of lips | <anatomy> The "sucking muscle," a labial muscle formed by sagittal fibres running from the skin to the mucous membrane. Synonym: Aeby's muscle, Bovero's muscle, compressor muscle of lips, Klein's muscle, Krause's muscle, mucocutaneous muscle, musculus cutaneomucosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressor venae dorsalis penis | A variation of the bulbospongiosus muscle in which some fibres pass dorsal to the dorsal vein of the penis; thought at one time to be an important component in the mechanism of erection. Synonym: Houston's muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compressorium | 1. A muscle, contraction of which causes compression of any structure. 2. An instrument for making pressure on a part, especially on an artery to prevent loss of blood. Synonym: compressorium. (05 Mar 2000) |

| compression molding |
Compression molding is a method of molding in which the molding material, generally preheated, is first placed in an open, heated mold cavity. The mold is closed with a top force or plug member, pressure is applied to force the material into contact with all mold areas, and heat and pressure are maintained until the molding material has cured. The process employs thermosetting resins in a partially cured stage, either in the form of granules, putty-like masses, or preforms. ...
