| traumatogenic occlusion | A malocclusion capable of producing injury to the teeth and/or associated structures. Synonym: traumatic occlusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| labial occlusion | Malposition of a tooth in a labial direction, the occlusion as seen from the labial side of the arches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral occlusion | Malposition of a tooth or an entire dental arch in a direction away from the midline. (05 Mar 2000) |
| functional occlusion | Any tooth contacts made within the functional range of the opposing teeth surfaces, occlusion which occurs during function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| line of occlusion | The alignment of the occluding surfaces of the teeth in the horizontal plane. See: occlusal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lingual occlusion | Interdigitation of the teeth as seen from the internal or lingual aspect. See: linguoclusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute vascular purpura | <dermatology> This relatively rare disorder is characterised by skin purpura, joint pains, abdominal pain and renal disease (glomerulonephritis). Although Henoch-Schonlein purpura or anaphylactoid purpura, is thought to be a immune complex mediated disease, its exact cause is unknown. Its typical benign coarse can, however, include renal failure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| articular vascular circle | An anastomosis of vessels encircling a joint. See: articular vascular network. Synonym: circulus articularis vasculosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular vascular network | A vascular rete in the neighborhood of a joint, where such arrangements are common, enabling a collateral circulation by which blood will be supplied distal to the joint regardless of compromises resulting from joint position. Synonym: circulus articularis vasculosus, rete vasculosum articulare, articular network. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular vascular network of elbow | Vascular networks in the region of the elbow, composed of anastomoses between branches of the radial and middle collateral, superior and inferior ulnar collateral, radial recurrent, interosseous recurrent, and recurrent ulnar arteries. Synonym: rete articulare cubiti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular vascular network of knee | An arterial network over the front and sides of the knee, formed by branches of the descending genicular artery, of the five genicular arteries from the popliteal, of the anterior tibial recurrent, and of the fibular circumflex branch of the posterior tibial. Synonym: rete articulare genus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atherosclerotic vascular disease | <cardiology> The progressive narrowing and hardening of the arteries over time. This is known to occur to some degree with aging, but other risk factors that accelerate this process have been identified. These factors include: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and family history for atherosclerotic disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| blood-vascular system | The heart and the blood vessels by which blood is pumped and circulated through the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vascular | <physiology> Pertaining to blood vessels or indicative of a copious blood supply. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vascular anticoagulant | <protein> Group of calcium-binding proteins that interact with acidic membrane phospholipids in membranes. They contain 4 or 8 repeats of a 61 amino acid domain that folds into 5 a helices. Also known by several other names (e.g. Lipocortins, endonexins), reflecting the history of their discovery in different contexts. See: lipocortin, endonexin I & II, calpactin, p70 and calelectrin.
