| propagated thrombus | A gradually increasing thrombosis involving one section of a vein after another in continuity. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| secondary thrombus | A thrombus formed about an embolus as a nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyaline thrombus | A translucent colourless plug, partly or wholly filling a capillary or small artery or vein, formed by agglutination of red blood corpuscles. Synonym: agglutinative thrombus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratified thrombus | A laminated thrombus, the layers of different ages being of different colour or consistency. Synonym: stratified thrombus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infective thrombus | A thrombus formed in septic phlebitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive thrombus | A thrombus due to obstruction in the vessel from compression or other cause. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thrombus | <haematology> An aggregation of blood factors, primarily platelets and fibrin with entrapment of cellular elements, frequently causing vascular obstruction at the point of its formation. Some authorities thus differentiate thrombus formation from simple coagulation or clot formation. Compare: embolism. Origin: Gr. Thrombos = clot (18 Nov 1997) |
| fibrin thrombus | A thrombus formed by repeated deposits of fibrin from the circulating blood; it usually does not completely occlude the vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminated thrombus | A thrombus formed gradually by clotting of the blood in successive layers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior white commissure | A narrow band of white substance bordering on the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord in front of the anterior gray commissure, and consisting of nerve fibres crossing over from one half of the spinal cord to the other. Synonym: commissura alba, anterior white commissure, commissura ventralis alba, ventral white column. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blue white colour selection | <molecular biology, procedure> Method for identifying bacterial clones containing plasmids with inserts. Many modern vectors have their polycloning site within a part of the LacZ gene encoding _ galactosidase, which provides _ complementation in an appropriate mutant E. Coli strain. This means that a re ligated (empty) vector will produce blue colonies when grown on plates containing IPTG and X gal, but colonies with a substantial insert in their plasmid's polycloning site are unable to produce functional _ galactosidase and so produce white colonies. (16 Dec 1997) |
| Bouffardi's white mycetoma | <dermatology> A form of mycetoma common in India and found occasionally in Somalia, caused by the organism Streptomyces somaliensis; in this variety, the muscles, tendons, and bones of the foot are destroyed by the disease process; numerous draining sinuses discharge yellowish grains, clustered like fish roe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Brumpt's white mycetoma | Mycetoma caused by Pseudallescheria boydii, occurring in temperate and subtropical areas in India; small, white to yellow, hard to soft granules are discharged through the draining sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral white column | A narrow band of white substance bordering on the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord in front of the anterior gray commissure, and consisting of nerve fibres crossing over from one half of the spinal cord to the other. Synonym: commissura alba, anterior white commissure, commissura ventralis alba, ventral white column. (05 Mar 2000) |
| matter, white | The part of the brain that contains myelinated nerve fibres. The white matter is white because it is the colour of myelin, the insulation covering the nerve fibres. The white matter is as opposed to the gray matter (the cortex of the brain which contains nerve cell bodies). (12 Dec 1998) |
