| necrotic angina | An obsolete term for a form of angina occurring usually as a complication of scarlet fever and more rarely of diphtheria, in which gangrenous patches are found in the mucous membrane of the air passages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutropenic angina | <haematology> A symptom complex characterised by marked decrease in the number of granulocytes and by lesions of the throat and other mucous membranes, of the gastrointestinal tract and of the skin, also called granulocytopenia and Schultz's disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| subclavian lymphatic trunk | It is formed by the union of the vessels draining the lymph nodes of either upper limb, emptying into the thoracic duct at the root of the neck on the left or into the right lymphatic duct. Synonym: truncus subclavius, subclavian duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial lymphatic vessel | One of the lymphatic vessels that lie in the skin and subcutaneous tissues; they join the deep lymphatic vessels. Synonym: vas lymphaticum superficiale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep lymphatic vessel | One of the vessels that drain lymph from the deep structures of the body; they tend to follow the courses of blood vessels to reach regional lymph nodes. Synonym: vas lymphaticum profundum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal thoracic lymphatic plexus | A lymphatic plexus, including the parasternal; (internal thoracic) lymph nodes, with their vessels, situated along the course of the internal thoracic veins. Synonym: mammary plexus, plexus mammarius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intestinal angina | <surgery> A dull, crampy centralised abdominal pain that occurs 15-30 minutes after a meal. Associated with ischaemic bowel disease. Evaluated with mesenteric arteriography. (27 Sep 1997) |
| efferent lymphatic | A vein carrying blood away from a part. Synonym: efferent lymphatic. Synonym: efferent glomerular arteriole. Synonym: efferent ductules of testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelium, lymphatic | Unbroken cellular lining (intima) of the lymph vessels (e.g., the high endothelial lymphatic venules). It is more permeable than vascular endothelium, lacking selective absorption and functioning mainly to remove plasma proteins that have filtered through the capillaries into the tissue spaces. (12 Dec 1998) |
| jugular lymphatic trunk | Lymphatic vessel on each side, conveying the lymph from the head and neck; that on the right side empties into the right lymphatic duct, that on the left into the thoracic duct. Synonym: truncus jugularis, jugular duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exudative angina | <infectious disease, paediatrics> This has nothing whatsoever to do with the commonly known angina (angina pectoris) in adults with chest pain of cardiac origin. Exudative angina is more commonly known as croup, an infection of the larynx, trachea, and the bronchial tubes, largely in children. Caused usually by viruses, less often by bacteria. Symptoms include a cough that sounds like a barking seal and a harsh crowing sound during inhaling. Treatment can include moist air, salt water nose drops, decongestants and cough suppressants, pain medication, fluids, and occasionally antibiotics. The major concern in croup is breathing difficulty as the air passages narrow. Close monitoring of the breathing of a child with croup is important, especially at night. While most children recover from croup without hospitalization, some children can develop life-threatening breathing difficulties. Therefore, close contact with the doctor during this illness is important. (06 Mar 2000) |
| false angina | <symptom> Angina-like sensation in absence of myocardial ischemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unstable angina | <cardiology> Angina which is new onset or prior existing angina which is increasing in severity, duration or frequency. (13 Nov 1997) |
| laryngeal lymphatic follicles | Small follicles located on the posterior aspect of the epiglottis and in the ventricle of the larynx. Synonym: folliculi lymphatici laryngei. (05 Mar 2000) |
