| DMARD | disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug |
| tricuspid valve insufficiency | Backflow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium, owing to imperfect functioning of the tricuspid valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| tricuspid valve prolapse | Abnormal protrusion of one or more of the leaflets of the tricuspid valve into the right atrium during systole. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tricuspid valve stenosis | The pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the tricuspid valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Tulpius' valve | The bilabial prominence of the terminal ileum into the large intestine at the caecocolic junction as seen in cadavers; in the living individual it appears as a truncated cone with a star-shaped orifice. Synonym: valva ileocaecalis, Bauhin's valve, ileocaecal eminence, ileocolic valve, Tulp's valve, Tulpius' valve, valve of Varolius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eustachian valve | An endocardial fold extending from the anterior inferior margin of the inferior vena cava to the anterior part of the limbus fossa ovalis. Synonym: valvula venae cavae inferioris, caval valve, eustachian valve, sylvian valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Krause's valve | A small fold in the interior of the lacrimal sac at its junction with the lacrimal duct. Synonym: Krause's valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| floppy valve syndrome | <syndrome> Retrograde slippage of degenerating mitral or tricuspid valve leaflets into the valve's orifice beyond the point of closure during systole of the left ventricle; a feature of Barlow's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frenulum of ileocaecal valve | A fold, more evident in cadavers, running from the junction of the two commissures of the ileocaecal valve on either side along the inner wall of the caecocolic junction. Synonym: frenulum valvae ileocaecalis, frenulum of Morgagni, Morgagni's frenum, Morgagni's retinaculum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left atrioventricular valve | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the left atrium and left ventricle. During left atrial contraction, the mitral valve opens to allow blood to flow into the left ventricle. Upon closure, the mitral valve prohibits the regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium. The mitral valve is the only heart valve that has only 2 valve cusps (all others have 3). (13 Nov 1997) |
| lunula of semilunar valve | The free border of a semilunar valve at each side of the nodulus valvulae semilunaris. Synonym: lunula valvulae semilunaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic nerve diseases | Diseases of the eighth cranial nerve. These include vestibular neuronitis, cochlear neuritis and acoustic neuroma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adaptation diseases | Disease's falling theoretically into Selye's concept of the general-adaptation syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adnexal diseases | Diseases of the uterine appendages: the ovaries, uterine tubes, and ligaments of the uterus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| agricultural workers' diseases | Diseases in persons engaged in cultivating and tilling soil, growing plants, harvesting crops, raising livestock, or otherwise engaged in husbandry and farming. The diseases are not restricted to farmers in the sense of those who perform conventional farm chores: the heading applies also to those engaged in the individual activities named above, as in those only gathering harvest or in those only dusting crops. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ape diseases | Diseases of apes (pongidae). This term includes diseases of chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. (12 Dec 1998) |
