| open dislocation | A dislocation complicated by a wound opening from the surface down to the affected joint. Synonym: compound dislocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Kienbock's dislocation | Dislocation of semilunar bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| knee cap dislocation | <orthopaedics> A dislocation of the knee cap most often occurs with the knee cap moving laterally (toward the outer aspect of the leg). Features include a partially flexed knee joint with obvious displacement of the knee cap laterally. Reduction is accomplished with knee joint extension and gently coaxing the knee cap back to the midline. (17 Dec 1997) |
| fracture dislocation | Dislocation associated with or accompanied by a fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lisfranc fracture-dislocation | <radiology> Tarsal-metatarsal fracture-dislocation, trauma, diabetes (neuropathic) (12 Dec 1998) |
| lunate dislocation | A wrist joint injury characterised by dislocation of the lunate. (27 Sep 1997) |
| brucella strain 19 vaccine | A live bacterial vaccine prepared from an attenuated variant strain of Brucella abortus (strain 19); used for vaccinating cattle against brucellosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recombinant strain | <molecular biology> A cell or an individual with a new combination of genes not found together in either parent, usually applied to linked genes. (18 Nov 1997) |
| carrier strain | A bacterial strain that is contaminated with a bacteriophage of low infectivity. Synonym: pseudolysogenic strain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cell strain | <cell culture> Cells adapted to culture, but with finite division potential. See: cell line. (26 Mar 1998) |
| voice strain | The development of hoarse voice secondary to overuse. (27 Sep 1997) |
| rough strain | <microbiology> Bacterial strains that have altered outer cell wall carbohydrate chains causing colonies on agar to change their appearance from smooth to dull. In Streptococci the smooth strains are virulent whereas the rough strains are not. This is partly because the rough strains are much more readily phagocytosed. (17 Dec 1997) |
| wild strain | <virology> A viral strain found naturally, as opposed to one created in the laboratory. (09 Oct 1997) |
| wild-type strain | A strain found in nature or a standard strain. See: auxotrophic strains, prototrophic strains. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenic strain | An inbred strain of animals produced by continued crossing of a gene of one line onto another inbred (isogenic) line. (05 Mar 2000) |
