| bennett fracture | <radiology> Mechanism: forced abduction of thumb, findings: intraarticular fracture/dislocation of the base of the 1st metacarpal at the ulnar aspect, small fragment of metacarpal continues to articulate with the trapezium, lateral retraction of metacarpal shaft by abductor pollicis longus, difficult to keep in anatomical alignment, complication: pseudoarthrosis, better prognosis than Rolando fracture see: thumb fractures (12 Dec 1998) |
| Bennett movement | The bodily lateral movement or lateral shift of the mandible during a laterotrusive movement. (05 Mar 2000) |

| benomyl | <chemical> Methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate. A systemic agricultural fungicide used for control of certain fungal diseases of stone fruit. Pharmacological action: anthelmintic, fungicides, industrial. Chemical name: Carbamic acid, (1-((butylamino)carbonyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-, methyl ester (12 Dec 1998) |
| benoxaprofen | (±)-2-(p-Chlorophenyl)-alpha-methyl-5-benzoxazoleacetic acid;a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, no longer clinically used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benperidol | <chemical> A butyrophenone with general properties similar to those of haloperidol. It has been used in the treatment of aberrant sexual behaviour. Pharmacological action: antipsychotic agents, butyrophenone, dopamine antagonists. Chemical name: 2H-Benzimidazol-2-one, 1-(1-(4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutyl)-4-piperidinyl)-1,3-dihydro- (12 Dec 1998) |
| benserazide | <chemical> An inhibitor of dopa decarboxylase that does not enter the central nervous system. It is often given with levodopa in the treatment of parkinsonism to prevent the conversion of levodopa to dopamine in the periphery, thereby increasing the amount that reaches the central nervous system and reducing the required dose. It has no antiparkinson actions when given alone. Pharmacological action: antiparkinson agents, dopamine agents, enzyme inhibitors. Chemical name: DL-Serine, 2-((2,3,4-trihydroxyphenyl)methyl)hydrazide (12 Dec 1998) |
