| suboccipitobregmatic diameter | The diameter of the foetal head from the lowest posterior point of the occipital bone to the centre of the anterior fontanelle. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| diameter | The length of a straight line passing through the centre of a circle and connecting opposite points on its circumference, hence the distance between two specified opposite points on the periphery of a structure such as the cranium or pelvis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| diameter at breast height | The width of a plant stem (for example, tree trunk) as measured at 4.5 feet above the ground surface. (09 Oct 1997) |
| diameter mediana | Distance from the promontory of the sacrum to the upper posterior edge of the pubic symphysis. Synonym: anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic inlet, conjugata vera, conjugate axis, conjugate diameter of pelvic inlet, diameter mediana, internal conjugate, true conjugate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diameter obliqua | A measurement across the pelvic inlet from the sacroiliac joint of one side to the opposite iliopectineal eminence. Synonym: diameter obliqua. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diameter transversa | The transverse diameter of the pelvic inlet, measured between the terminal lines. Synonym: diameter transversa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oblique diameter | A measurement across the pelvic inlet from the sacroiliac joint of one side to the opposite iliopectineal eminence. Synonym: diameter obliqua. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipitofrontal diameter | The diameter of the foetal head from the external occipital protuberance to the most prominent point of the frontal bone in the midline. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipitomental diameter | The diameter of the foetal head from the external occipital protuberance to the midpoint of the chin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total end-diastolic diameter | Cross sectional diameter of the left ventricle including the septum and posterior wall thicknesses in diastole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total end-systolic diameter | Cross sectional diameter of the left ventricle including the septum and posterior wall thicknesses in systole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trachelobregmatic diameter | The diameter of the foetal head from the middle of the anterior fontanelle to the neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse diameter | The transverse diameter of the pelvic inlet, measured between the terminal lines. Synonym: diameter transversa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zygomatic diameter | The extreme breadth of the skull at the zygomatic arches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vaccines, conjugate | Semisynthetic vaccines consisting of polysaccharide antigens from microorganisms attached to protein carrier molecules. The carrier protein is recognised by macrophages and T-cells thus enhancing immunity. Conjugate vaccines induce antibody formation in people not responsive to polysaccharide alone, induce higher levels of antibody, and show a booster response on repeated injection. (12 Dec 1998) |
