| subendocardial myocardial infarction | Infarction that involves only the layer of muscle subjacent to the endocardium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nontransmural myocardial infarction | Necrosis of heart muscle that fails to extend from the endocardium to the epicardium, often erroneously considered relatively benign. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diaphragmatic myocardial infarction | Infarction in which the inferior or diaphragmatic wall of the heart is involved, producing indicative changes in leads II, III, and aVF in the electrocardiogram. Synonym: diaphragmatic myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infarction | 1. <cardiology> The formation of an infarct. 2. An infarct. Origin: L. Infarcire = to stuff in (18 Nov 1997) |
| inferior myocardial infarction | Infarction in which the inferior or diaphragmatic wall of the heart is involved, producing indicative changes in leads II, III, and aVF in the electrocardiogram. Synonym: diaphragmatic myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferolateral myocardial infarction | Infarction involving the inferior and lateral surfaces of the heart and producing indicative changes in the electrocardiogram in leads II, III, aVF, V5, and V6. (05 Mar 2000) |
| through-and-through myocardial infarction | Infarction that involves the whole thickness of the heart muscle from endocardium to epicardium. Synonym: through-and-through myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transmural myocardial infarction | Infarction that involves the whole thickness of the heart muscle from endocardium to epicardium. Synonym: through-and-through myocardial infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |

| abnormal placental size | <radiology> TOO BIG (greater than5cm in sections obtained at right angles to the long axis), maternal disease, diabetic mothers (= villous oedema), intrauterine infections, anaemic mothers (= normal histology), foetal disease, erythroblatosis foetalis (= villous oedema and hyperplasia), umbilical vein obstruction, foetal high output failure, large chorioangioma, sacrococcygeal teratoma, arteriovenous fistula too small, preeclampsia (associated with placental infarcts in 33-60%) (12 Dec 1998) |
| placental | 1. Of or pertaining to the placenta; having, or characterised by having, a placenta; as, a placental mammal. 2. <zoology> Of or pertaining to the Placentalia. <zoology> One of the Placentalia. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| placental abruption | <obstetrics> An third trimester complication that results from the haemorrhage and accumulation of blood between the placenta and the wall of the uterus. This inevitably interferes with foetal oxygenation and often necessitates the need for emergency cesarean section delivery. (31 Dec 1997) |
| placental barrier | The semipermeable layer of foetal tissue separating the maternal from the foetal blood in the placenta; composed of: 1) endothelium of the foetal vessels in the chorionic villi, 2) stromata of the villi, 3) cytotrophoblast (negligible after the fifth month of gestation), and 4) syncytial trophoblast covering the villi; the placental membrane acts as a selective membrane regulating passage of substances from the maternal to the foetal blood. Synonym: placental barrier. (05 Mar 2000) |
| placental calcium-binding protein | <protein> Calcium binding protein of placenta, uterus and vasculature containing the EF hand motif. (18 Nov 1997) |
