| sclerotic cemental mass | Benign fibro-osseous jaw lesions of unknown aetiology, occurring predominantly in middle-aged black females, which present as large painless radiopaque masses usually involving several quadrants of the jaw. Synonym: florid osseous dysplasia, cemental dysplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| solid renal mass | <radiology> MALIGNANT until proven otherwise!, renal cell carcinoma (85%), other malignancy (10%), renal sarcoma, lymphoma, transitional cell carcinoma, metastases, benign mass (5%), oncocytoma, angiomyolipoma (fat present), fibroma (12 Dec 1998) |
| solitary echogenic liver mass | <radiology> Haemangioma, focal fatty infiltration, hepatoma, adenoma, focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatic lipoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrometry, mass, fast atom bombardment | A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of a wide range of biomolecules, such as glycoalkaloids, glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and peptides. Positive and negative fast atom bombardment spectra are recorded on a mass spectrometer fitted with an atom gun with xenon as the customary beam. The mass spectra obtained contain molecular weight recognition as well as sequence information. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrometry, mass, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization | A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrometry, mass, secondary ion | A mass-spectrometric technique that is used for microscopic chemical analysis. A beam of primary ions with an energy of 5-20 kiloelectronvolts (kev) bombards a small spot on the surface of the sample under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Positive and negative secondary ions sputtered from the surface are analyzed in a mass spectrometer in regards to their mass-to-charge ratio. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spectrum analysis, mass | Analysis of the mass of an object through means of determining the wave length(s) at which electromagnetic energy is absorbed by that object. (12 Dec 1998) |
| injection mass | Coloured solutions or suspensions injected into the vascular system to render vessels and their walls prominent; useful for gross preparations and for study under low magnification after clearing; most fluids contain warm gelatin and the colouring materials are carmine, Berlin blue, or carbon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inner cell mass | A group of cells found in the mammalian blastocyst that give rise to the embryo and are potentially capable of forming all tissues, embryonic and extra embryonic, except the trophoblast. (18 Nov 1997) |
| intermediate mass | The variable connection between the two thalamic masses across the third ventricle; absent in about 20% of human brains. Synonym: adhesio interthalamica, commissura cinerea, commissura grisea, intermediate mass, massa intermedia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intradural-extramedullary mass | <radiology> Meniscus sign, neurofibroma / schwannoma, meningioma, drop metastasis, lipoma, dermoid, angioma, ependymoma of filum terminale (really intramedullary) (12 Dec 1998) |
| intramedullary mass | <radiology> Ependymoma, astrocytoma, syrinx, post-radiation myelopathy, haematoma (posttraumatic or AVM) (12 Dec 1998) |
| the large mass of the telencephalon | On either side of the midline, consisting of the cerebral cortex and its associated fibre systems, together with the deeper-lying subcortical telencephalic nuclei (i.e., basal ganglia [nuclei]). (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubular excretory mass | The mass of functioning excretory tubules of the kidney determined from the excretion of iodopyracet, or other compounds processed in the kidney primarily by tubular secretion, when large doses are used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extradural mass | <radiology> Disc, haematoma (traumatic fracture), metastasis (epidural, bony), abscess, neurofibroma, lipoma, arachnoid cyst (12 Dec 1998) |

A measure of body weight relative to height. BMI can be used to determine if people are at a healthy weight, overweight, or obese. To figure out BMI, use the following formula:

| body mass index |
is a unit of measurement to describe weight in relation to height for people 20 to 65 years of age. It indicates whether a person's size is in the low, moderate or high zone for developing health problems. Values between 20 and 25 are associated with the lowest risk of illness. Values between 25 and 27 are considered to be in a "caution zone" and may be associated with health problems. Values below 20 or over 27 indicate that a person is at higher risk of illness. (see Obesity)

| body mass index |
This is a very common method of evaluating individual people to see if they are under or overweight. It involves comparing their weight to their height by dividing the weight measurement (expressed in kilograms) by the square of the height (expressed in meters). A BMI of below 18.5 is underweight, between 18.5 and 25 is an indication of healthy weight, 25 to 30 is overweight, a BMI of over 30 is referred to as obese, over 35 is known as morbid obesity, and over 40 indicates extreme obesity. ...

| body mass index |
A mathematical formula to assess relative body weight. The measure correlates highly with body fat. Calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters (kg/m 2 ).
