| MDR | Multi-Drug Resistance |
| thyrotropin resistance | An autosomal recessive disorder in which the thyrocytes are unresponsive to thyrotropin. Compare: pseudohypoparathyroidism. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| total peripheral resistance | The total resistance to flow of blood in the systemic circuit; the quotient produced by dividing the mean arterial pressure by the cardiac minute-volume. Synonym: peripheral resistance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trimethoprim resistance | Nonsusceptibility of a bacterium to the action of trimethoprim. (12 Dec 1998) |
| expiratory resistance | Resistance to flow of gas out of the lungs or the total resistance to flow of gas during the expiratory phase of the respiratory cycle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kanamycin resistance | Nonsusceptibility of bacteria to the antibiotic kanamycin, which can bind to their 70s ribosomes and cause misreading of messenger RNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
| batson venous plexus | <radiology> Paravertebral venous plexus, can carry tumour emboli directly to brain from pelvis or abdomen (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaginal venous plexus | The plexus of veins that surrounds the vagina. Synonym: plexus venosus vaginalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the veins. Origin: L. Venosus (18 Nov 1997) |
| venous angioma | <radiology> Caput medusae, wedge-shaped appearance with its base at the meninges and its apex directed toward the ventricles, prominent medullary vein drains into a markedly enlarged transcortical cerebral vein, angiogram: normal arterial phase without AV shunting (12 Dec 1998) |
| venous angle | The junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins, toward which converge the external and the anterior jugular and the vertebral veins, the thoracic duct in the left angle and the right lymphatic duct in the right angle. Synonym: Pirogoff's angle. In neuroradiology, the angle of union of the superior thalamostriate vein (vena terminalis) with the internal cerebral vein, usually closely behind the interventricular foramen of Monro. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous artery | Origin, right ventricle of heart; distribution, it divides into the right pulmonary artery and the left pulmonary artery, which enter the corresponding lungs and branch along with the segmental bronchi. Synonym: truncus pulmonalis, arteria pulmonalis, pulmonary artery, venous artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous blood | Blood which has passed through the capillaries of various tissues, except the lungs, and is found in the veins, the right chambers of the heart, and the pulmonary arteries; it is usually dark red as a result of a lower content of oxygen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous capillary | A capillary opening into a venule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous circle of mammary gland | areolar venous plexus |
| venous congestion | <physiology> Overfilling and distention of the veins with blood as a result of mechanical obstruction or right ventricular failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
