| STA-MCA | superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery |
|---|---|
| sup | above [Lat. supra]; superficial; superior; supinator; supine |
| SVL | superficial vastus lateralis |
| SWO | superficial white onychomycosis |
| TAA | thioacetamide; thoracic aortic aneurysm; total ankle arthroplasty; transverse aortic arch; tumor-ass... |
| infusions, intra-arterial | Regional infusion of drugs via an arterial catheter. Often a pump is used to impel the drug through the catheter. Used in therapy of cancer, upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage, infection, and peripheral vascular disease. (12 Dec 1998) |

| intermesenteric arterial anastomosis | The series of arterial arches formed in the mesentery by anastomoses between adjacent jejunal and ileal arteries and from which vasa recta arise. The arterial arcades of the ileum are shorter and more complex than those of the jejunum. See: arterial arches of ileum, arterial arches of jejunum. Synonym: intermesenteric arterial anastomosis, Riolan's arc, Riolan's arcades. (05 Mar 2000) |

| intra-arterial | Into an artery. (16 Dec 1997) |
| intra-arterial pressure | The pressure of the blood within an artery, the arterial pressure. Also called the arterial tension. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tension, arterial | The pressure of the blood within an artery, the arterial pressure. Also called the intra-arterial pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| transposition of arterial stems | Congenital malformation in which the aorta arises from the morphologic right ventricle and the pulmonary artery from the morphologic left ventricle resulting in two separate and parallel circulations. The condition is lethal unless some communication exists between the systemic and pulmonic circulation after birth; otherwise, unoxygenated venous blood inappropriately enters the systemic circulation, and oxygenated pulmonary venous blood is inappropriately directed to the pulmonary circulation. The life sustaining communication may be an intra-atrial passage or a patent ductus arteriosus. Synonym: transposition of arterial stems. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lesser arterial circle of iris | An arterial circle near the pupillary margin of the iris. Synonym: circulus arteriosus iridis minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior auricular branches of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Distribution, auricle, earlobe and external acoustic meatus. Synonym: rami auriculares anteriores arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior superficial cervical lymph nodes | The lymph nodes in the subcutaneous tissue of the anterior region of the neck. Synonym: nodi lymphatici cervicales anteriores superficiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parietal branch of superficial temporal artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches coursing in relationship to and/or supplying the parietal lobe of the brain. Synonym: ramus parietalis arteriae temporalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial crus of the superficial inguinal ring | Portion of the external oblique aponeurosis which passes medial to the superficial inguinal ring forming the medial boundary of the ring. Synonym: crus mediale annuli inguinalis superficialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous layer of superficial fascia | The membranous layer of the subcutaneous tissue in the urogenital region attaching posteriorly to the border of the urogenital diaphragm, at the sides to the ischiopubic rami, and continuing anteriorly onto the abdominal wall. Synonym: fascia perinei superficialis, Colles' fascia, Cruveilhier's fascia, membranous layer of superficial fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater superficial petrosal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The parasympathetic root of the pterygopalatine ganglion; a branch from the genu of the facial nerve exiting via the hiatus of the facial canal and running in a groove on the anterior surface of the petrous part of the temporal bone beside the foramen lacerum to join the deep petrosal nerve, thus forming the nerve of the pterygoid canal, which passes through the pterygoid canal to reach the pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: nervus petrosus major, greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polymorphic superficial keratitis | Epithelial degeneration occurring in starvation. (05 Mar 2000) |
