| ort-a-cath | A device surgically implanted under the skin, usually on the chest, that enters a large blood vessel and is used to deliver medication, chemotherapy, blood products and also is used to obtain blood samples. A port is usually inserted if a person has veins in the arm which are difficult to use for treatment or if certain types of chemotherapy drugs are to be given. (09 Oct 1997) |

| Foley catheter | <equipment> Flexible plastic tube inserted into the bladder to provide continuous urinary drainage. (12 Nov 1997) |
| Foley, Frederic | <person> U.S. Urologist, 1891-1966. See: Foley catheter, Foley operation, Foley Y-plasty pyeloplasty. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Foley operation | A reconstructive procedure for correction of ureteropelvic obstruction, whereby a Y-shaped flap of renal pelvis is advanced downward into a vertical incision in the upper ureter, thereby widening the ureteropelvic junction. Synonym: Foley operation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Foley Y-plasty pyeloplasty | A reconstructive procedure for correction of ureteropelvic obstruction, whereby a Y-shaped flap of renal pelvis is advanced downward into a vertical incision in the upper ureter, thereby widening the ureteropelvic junction. Synonym: Foley operation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| histoplasmin-latex test | A passive agglutination test for histoplasmosis; latex particles, sensitised with antigen extracted from Histoplasma capsulatum, are used in a flocculation reaction with the patient's serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latex | A viscous fluid exuded from the cut surfaces of the leaves and stems of certain plants, such as the dandelion or the rubber tree. A rubber made from such plant sap. (09 Oct 1997) |
| latex agglutination | Also known as latex particle agglutination, for detection of antibodies is identical to haemagglutination in principle, but the substitution of smaller, antigen-coated latex particles for erythrocytes results in improved sensitivity and reagent longevity. Alternatively, antibodies can be absorbed to the latex particles (under appropriate ionic and pH conditions) by binding to the Fc region of antibodies, leaving the Fab region free to interact with antigens present in the applied specimens. This phenomenon has made latex agglutination a popular technique for detecting antigens as well. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latex agglutination test | A passive agglutination test in which antigen is adsorbed onto latex particles which then clump in the presence of antibody specific for the adsorbed antigen. Synonym: latex fixation test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latex fixation test | A passive agglutination test in which antigen is adsorbed onto latex particles which then clump in the presence of antibody specific for the adsorbed antigen. Synonym: latex fixation test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latex fixation tests | Passive agglutination tests in which antigen is adsorbed onto latex particles which then clump in the presence of antibody specific for the adsorbed antigen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| partial denture retention | The fixation of a removable partial denture by the use of clasps, indirect retainers, or precision attachments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention | 1. The persistent keeping within the body of matters normally excreted. 2. In cavity preparation, the prevention of displacement of a restoration. 3. <dentistry> The period during which the patient is wearing an appliance to maintain and stabilise the teeth in the position into which they were moved. 4. <psychology> The persistence to perform a learned behaviour (facts or experiences) after an interval has elapsed in which there has been no performance or practice of the behaviour. Origin: L. Retentio, from retentare = to hold firmly back (18 Nov 1997) |
| retention area | An area of a tooth provided during its preparation for restoration that will aid in holding the restoration in place. See: retention groove, retention point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retention arm | A flexible segment of a removable partial denture that engages an undercut on an abutment and is designed to retain the denture. (05 Mar 2000) |
