| solid lesion of spleen | <radiology> Granulomatous disease, most often TB and histoplasmosis, less often sarcoid, metastasis, melanoma, lymphoma, breast, lung, primary mass, haemangioma, haemangiosarcoma, lymphangioma, infarction (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| squamous intraepithelial lesion | A general term for the abnormal growth of squamous cells on the surface of the cervix. The changes in the cells are described as low grade or high grade, depending on how much of the cervix is affected and how abnormal the cells are. Also called sil. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dark t2 lesion | <radiology> (short T2), acute haemorrhage (deoxyHb), haemosiderin, physiologic iron (basal ganglia, etc.), mucinous lesions (?) most abnormalities have long T1 and T2 (dark/bright). Compare: bright T1 lesion. (07 Mar 2000) |
| supranuclear lesion | Injury to cerebral descending (corticonuclear) fibres above the brainstem or spinal motor nerve nucleus. Synonym: upper motor neuron lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Dreulofoy's lesion | An abnormally large submucosal artery located in the proximal stomach that may be the site of acute and recurrent episodes of massive haemorrhage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Duret's lesion | Small haemorrhage(s) in the floor of the fourth ventricle or beneath the aqueduct of Sylvius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Janeway lesion | One of the stigmata of infectious endocarditis: irregular, erythematous, flat, painless macules on the palms, soles, thenar and hypothenar eminences of the hands, tips of the fingers, and plantar surfaces of the toes; rarely a diffuse rash. In acute endocarditis the lesions may be haemorrhagic or purple. (05 Mar 2000) |
| upper motor neuron lesion | Injury to cerebral descending (corticonuclear) fibres above the brainstem or spinal motor nerve nucleus. Synonym: upper motor neuron lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Lennert's lesion | <tumour> Malignant lymphoma with a high proportion of diffusely scattered epithelioid cells, tonsillar involvement, and an unpredictable course. Synonym: Lennert's lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesion | <pathology> Any pathological or traumatic discontinuity of tissue or loss of function of a part. Origin: L. Laesio, laedere = to hurt (18 Nov 1997) |
| Lohlein-Baehr lesion | Focal embolic glomerulonephritis occurring in bacterial endocarditis. Synonym: Baehr-Lohlein lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower motor neuron lesion | Injury to motor cells in the brainstem or spinal cord, or of the axons derived from them. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis | A disease characterised by acute onset of fever, followed by convulsions, delirium, and coma, and associated with perivascular demyelination and haemorrhagic foci in the central nervous system. Synonym: acute primary haemorrhagic meningoencephalitis, Strumpell's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acyclic monoterpene primary alcohol - NADP oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From catmint nepeta racemosa; involved in the biosynthesis of iridoid monoterpenes; oxidises geraniol, nerol, and their 10-hydroxy derivatives in the presence of nadp(+). Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: monoterpene primary alcohol - nadp oxidoreductase, ampano (26 Jun 1999) |
| anterior primary division | <anatomy, nerve> The larger, anterolaterally-directed major terminal branch (with the dorsal primary ramus) of all 31 pairs of mixed spinal nerves, formed at the intervertebral foramen. Most ventral primary rami, especially those involved in the innervation of the limbs, participate in the formation of the major nerve plexuses (cervical, brachial, and lumbosacral) and lose their identities. Most in the thoracic region, however, remain separate from adjacent rami to become the intercostal and subcostal nerves. Ventral primary rami provide innervation to the anterolateral body wall and trunk. Nomina Anatomica lists ventral primary rami as "rami ventrales" for each group of spinal nerves: 1) cervical (nervorum cervicalium ), 2) thoracic (nervorum thoracicorum ), 3) lumbar (nervorum lumbalium ), 4) sacral (nervorum sacralium )m, and 5) coccygeal (nervi coccygei ). Synonym: ramus ventralis nervi spinalis, anterior primary division. (05 Mar 2000) |
