| BAO | basal acid output; brachial artery output |
|---|---|
| BAO-MAO | basal acid output to maximal acid output [ratio] |
| BBT | basal body temperature |
| BEE | basal energy expenditure |
| BG | basal ganglion; basic gastrin; Bender Gestalt [test]; beta-galactosidase; beta-glucuronidase; bicolo... |
| neoplasms, mesothelial | Neoplasms composed of tissue of the mesothelium, the layer of flat cells, derived from the mesoderm, which lines the body cavity of the embryo. In the adult it forms the simple squamous epithelium which covers all true serous membranes (peritoneum, pericardium, pleura). The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in these organs. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| neoplasms, multiple primary | Two or more abnormal growths of tissue occurring simultaneously. The neoplasms are histologically different and may be found in the same or different sites. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, muscle tissue | Neoplasms composed of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, or smooth. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in muscles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, nerve tissue | Neoplasms composed of nerve tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the nervous system or its component nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, neuroepithelial | Neoplasms composed of epithelial cells of the nervous system. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the nervous system, nerves, or neural tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, posttraumatic | Cancers, tumours, or other neoplasms caused by or resulting from trauma or other non-radiation injuries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, second primary | Abnormal growths of tissue that follow a previous neoplasm but are not metastases of the latter. The second neoplasm may have the same or different histological type and can occur in the same or different organs as the previous neoplasm but in all cases arises from an independent oncogenic event. The development of the second neoplasm may or may not be related to the treatment for the previous neoplasm since genetic risk or predisposing factors may actually be the cause. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, unknown primary | Metastases in which the tissue of origin is unknown. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, vascular tissue | Neoplasms composed of vascular tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sublingual gland neoplasms | Neoplasms of the sublingual glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
| superior basal vein | <anatomy, vein> Tributary to the common basal vein draining the lateral and anterior part of the inferior lobe of each lung. Synonym: vena basalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| supratentorial neoplasms | Neoplasms located above the tentorium cerebelli, a fold of dura mater separating the cerebellum from the cerebral cortex occipital and temporal lobes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| denture basal surface | That portion of the surface of a denture which has its contour determined by the impression and bears the greater part of the occlusal load. Synonym: denture basal surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ileal neoplasms | Neoplasms of the ileum including the ileocaecal valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inferior basal vein | <anatomy, vein> Tributary to the common basal vein draining the medial and posterior part of the inferior lobe in each lung. Synonym: vena basalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
