| juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, systemic-onset | Also known as systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis. Still's disease presents with systemic (bodywide) illness including high intermittent fever, a salmon-coloured skin rash, swollen lymph glands, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and inflammation of the lungs (pleuritis) and around the heart (pericarditis). The arthritis may not be immediately apparent but it does always surface and it may persists long after the systemic symptoms are gone. (12 Dec 1998) |

| factor, rheumatoid | Rheumatoid factor is an antibody that is measurable in the blood. It is commonly used as a blood test for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid factor is present in about 80% of adults (but a much lower proportion of children) with rheumatoid arthritis. It is also present in patients with other connective tissue diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus) and in some with infectious diseases (such as infectious hepatitis). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Arantius' nodule | A nodule at the centre of the free border of each semilunar valve at the beginning of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Synonym: nodulus valvulae semilunaris, Arantius' nodule, Bianchi's nodule, corpus arantii, Morgagni's nodule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bianchi's nodule | A nodule at the centre of the free border of each semilunar valve at the beginning of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Synonym: nodulus valvulae semilunaris, Arantius' nodule, Bianchi's nodule, corpus arantii, Morgagni's nodule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recombination nodule | <molecular biology> Protein containing assemblies of about 90 nm diameter placed at intervals in the synaptonemal complexes that develop between homologous chromosomes at the zygotene stage of meiosis. Some nodules may be associated with the site of recombination. (18 Nov 1997) |
| rheumatic nodule | A small round or oval, mostly subcutaneous nodule made up chiefly of a mass of aschoff bodies and seen in cases of rheumatic fever. It is differentiated from the rheumatoid nodule which appears in rheumatoid arthritis, most frequently over bony prominences. (12 Dec 1998) |
| root nodule | <plant biology> Globular structure formed on the roots of certain plants, notably legumes and alder, by symbiotic association between the plant and a nitrogen fixing microorganism (Rhizobium in the case of legumes and Frankia in the case of alder and a variety of other plants). (18 Nov 1997) |
