| tooth, artificial | A fabricated tooth substituting for a natural tooth in a prosthesis. It is usually made of porcelain or plastic. (12 Dec 1998) |

| yeast artificial chromosome | <molecular biology> A vector system that allows extremely large segments of DNA to be cloned. Useful in chromosome mapping, contiguous yeast artificial chromosomes covering the whole Drosophila genome and certain human chromosomes are available. Acronym: YAC (15 Nov 1997) |
| yeast artificial chromosomes | Yeast DNA sequences that have incorporated into them very large foreign DNA fragments; the recombinant DNA is then introduced into the yeast by transformation; the use of yeast artificial chromosomes permits the cloning of large genes with their flanking regulatory sequences. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kidney, artificial | Device(s) which can substitute for normally functioning kidneys in cleansing the blood. (12 Dec 1998) |
| urinary sphincter, artificial | An artifical implanted device, usually in the form of an inflatable silicone cuff, inserted in or around the bladder neck in the surgical treatment of urinary incontinence caused by sphincter weakness. Often it is placed around the bulbous urethra in adult males. The artificial urinary sphincter is considered an alternative to urinary diversion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| larynx, artificial | A device, activated electronically or by expired pulmonary air, which simulates laryngeal activity and enables a laryngectomised person to speak. Examples of the pneumatic mechanical device are the tokyo and van hunen artificial larynges. Electronic devices include the western electric electrolarynx, tait oral vibrator, cooper-rand electrolarynx and the ticchioni pipe. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver, artificial | Devices for simulating the activities of the liver. They often consist of a hybrid between both biological and artificial materials. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abnormal heart chamber dimensions | <radiology> Left ventricular volume overload, left ventricular hypertrophy, right ventricular volume overload, right ventricular hypertrophy, fixed subvalvular aortic stenosis, hypoplastic left/right ventricle; common ventricle, congestive cardiomyopathy (12 Dec 1998) |
| Abrams' heart reflex | A contraction of the myocardium when the skin of the precordial region is irritated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| american heart association | A voluntary organization concerned with the prevention and treatment of heart and vascular diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| apex of heart | The blunt extremity of the heart formed by the left ventricle. See: apex beat. Synonym: apex cordis, vertex cordis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| armored heart | Calcareous deposits in the pericardium due to subacute or chronic pericarditis. Synonym: panzerherz. (05 Mar 2000) |
| armor heart | Extensive to complete calcification (rarely ossification) of the pericardium usually producing constrictive pericarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
