| kangaroo | <zoology> Any one of numerous species of jumping marsupials of the family Macropodidae. They inhabit Australia, new Guinea, and adjacent islands, They have long and strong hind legs and a large tail, while the fore legs are comparatively short and feeble. The giant kangaroo (Macropus major) is the largest species, sometimes becoming twelve or fourteen feet in total length. The tree kangaroos, belonging to the genus Dendrolagus, live in trees; the rock kangaroos, of the genus Petrogale, inhabit rocky situations; and the brush kangaroos, of the genus Halmaturus, inhabit wooded districts. See Wallaby. Kangaroo apple, the potoroo. Origin: Said to be the native name. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| enteral | A method of nutritient delivery where fluid is given directly into the gastrointestinal tract. (16 Dec 1997) |
| enteral nutrition | Nutritional support given via the alimentary canal or any route connected to the gastrointestinal system (i.e., the enteral route). This includes oral feeding, sip feeding, and tube feeding using nasogastric, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy tubes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| feed | 1. To give food to; to supply with nourishment; to satisfy the physical huger of. "If thine enemy hunger, feed him." (Rom. Xii. 20) "Unreasonable reatures feed their young." (Shak) 2. To satisfy; grafity or minister to, as any sense, talent, taste, or desire. "I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him." (Shak) "Feeding him with the hope of liberty." (Knolles) 3. To fill the wants of; to supply with that which is used or wasted; as, springs feed ponds; the hopper feeds the mill; to feed a furnace with coal. 4. To nourish, in a general sense; to foster, strengthen, develop, and guard. "Thou shalt feed people Israel." (2 Sam. V. 2) "Mightiest powers by deepest calms are feed." (B. Cornwall) 5. To graze; to cause to be cropped by feeding, as herbage by cattle; as, if grain is too forward in autumn, feed it with sheep. "Once in three years feed your mowing lands." (Mortimer) 6. To give for food, especially to animals; to furnish for consumption; as, to feed out turnips to the cows; to feed water to a steam boiler. 7. <machinery> To supply (the material to be operated upon) to a machine; as, to feed paper to a printing press. To produce progressive operation upon or with (as in wood and metal working machines, so that the work moves to the cutting tool, or the tool to the work). Origin: AS. FDAn, fr. FDA food; akin to C?. Fdian, OFries FDA, FDA, D. Voeden, OHG. Fuottan, Icel. Faea, Sw. Foda, Dan. Fode. 75. See Food. 1. That which is eaten; especially, food for beasts; fodder; pasture; hay; grain, ground or whole; as, the best feed for sheep. 2. A grazing or pasture ground. 3. An allowance of provender given to a horse, cow, etc.; a meal; as, a feed of corn or oats. 4. A meal, or the act of eating. "For such pleasure till that hour at feed or fountain never had I found." (Milton) 5. The water supplied to steam boilers. 6. <machinery> The motion, or act, of carrying forward the stuff to be operated upon, as cloth to the needle in a sewing machine; or of producing progressive operation upon any material or object in a machine, as, in a turning lathe, by moving the cutting tool along or in the work. The supply of material to a machine, as water to a steam boiler, coal to a furnace, or grain to a run of stones. The mechanism by which the action of feeding is produced; a feed motion. Feed bag, a nose bag containing feed for a horse or mule. Feed cloth, an apron for leading cotton, wool, or other fibre, into a machine, as for carding, etc. Feed door, a door to a furnace, by which to supply coal. Feed head.

| PET | <radiology> A highly specialised research imaging technique using short lived radioactive substances - usually those made with a cyclotron. This technique is very sensitive in picking up active tumour tissue but does not measure the size of it. Tomographic images are formed by computer analysis of photons detected from annihilation of positrons emitted by radionuclides incorporated into biochemical substances; the images, often quantitated with a colour scale, show the uptake and distribution of the substances in the tissue, permitting analysis and localization of metabolic and physiological function. Because the half-lives of the radionuclides are so short (20 minutes to 2 hours), and the equipment expensive, PET is rarely used in a clinical setting. But since its development in the mid-1970s, it has proved the most important tool yet devised for experimental investigation of the living brain, whether healthy, traumatised, or diseased. With CT and MRI, it represents a new generation of computer imaging techniques that have revolutionised medicine and physiology. Acronym: PET (20 Jun 2000) |
