| intestinal calculus | A concretion in the bowel, either a coprolith or an enterolith. (05 Mar 2000) |

| oxalate calculus | A hard urinary calculus of calcium oxalate; some are covered with minute sharp spines that can abrade the renal pelvic epithelium, whereas others are smooth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tonsillar calculus | A calcareous concretion in a distended tonsillar crypt. Synonym: tonsillar calculus, tonsillith. Origin: tonsillo-+ G. Lithos, stone (05 Mar 2000) |

| jackstone bladder calculus | <radiology> Spiculated calculus in urinary bladder, calcium oxalate monohydrate (12 Dec 1998) |
| urethral calculus | A stone impacted in urethra. May have formed proximally and gotten stuck there or may have formed in urethra; uncommon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrin calculus | A urinary calculus formed largely from fibrinogen in blood. (05 Mar 2000) |

| absorbancy index | Absorbance (of light) per unit path length (usually the centimeter) and per unit of mass concentration. Compare: molar absorption coefficient. Synonym: absorbancy index, absorptivity, extinction coefficient, specific extinction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar index | Relation between the basialveolar (basion to alveolar point) and basinasal (basion to nasion) lengths: (basialveolar length × 100)/basinasal length; the result indicates the degree of projection of the maxilla or upper jaw. Synonym: alveolar index. (05 Mar 2000) |

| antitryptic index | An obsolete term for the relative retardation in loss of viscosity of a solution of casein incubated with trypsin, to which a drop of abnormal blood serum (as from a cancerous patient) has been added, compared with that in a similar solution to which normal serum has been added; if the former drips through the tube of the viscosimeter in 100 seconds, and the latter in 104 seconds, the antitryptic index is 4. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Arneth index | An expression based on adding the percentages of polymorphonuclear neutrophils with 1 or 2 lobes in their nuclei, plus one-half the percentage with 3 lobes; the normal value is 60%. See: Arneth formula, Arneth count. (05 Mar 2000) |
