| 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) |

| bonding, human-pet | The emotional attachment of individuals to pets. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| PET scan | Positron Emission Tomography. A scanning device which uses low-dose radioactive sugar to measure brain activity. This is a limited-use diagnostic tool. (16 Dec 1997) |
| case | 1. An instance of disease with its attendant circumstances. Compare: patient. 2. A box or container. Origin: L. Casus, an occurrence Borderline case, a patient, whose clinical findings are suggestive, but not fully convincing, of a specific diagnosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| case-control study | <epidemiology> A study in which the risk factors of people with a disease are compared with those without a disease. It is an epidemiological method that begins by identifying persons with the disease or condition of interest (the cases) and compares their past history of exposure to identified or suspected risk factors with the past history of similar exposures among persons who resemble the cases but do not have the disease or condition of interest (the controls). The relationship of an attribute to the disease can therefore be examined by comparing affected and non-affected individuals with regard to the frequency or levels of the attribute in each group. (05 May 2002) |
| case fatality rate | The proportion of individuals contracting a disease that die of that disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| case fatality ratio | The mortality rate of a disease, usually expressed per 100 cases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| case management | A traditional term for all the activities which a physician or other health care professional normally performs to insure the coordination of the medical services required by a patient. It also, when used in connection with managed care, covers all the activities of evaluating the patient, planning treatment, referral, and follow-up so that care is continuous and comprehensive and payment for the care is obtained. (12 Dec 1998) |
| index case | A person who first draws attention to their family. For example, if my eye doctor discovers i have glaucoma and subsequently other cases of glaucoma are found in my family, i am the index case. Also called the propositus (if male) or proposita (if female). (12 Dec 1998) |
| organizational case studies | Descriptions and evaluations of specific health care organizations. (12 Dec 1998) |

| air pump | 1. <physics> A kind of pump for exhausting air from a vessel or closed space; also, a pump to condense air of force in into a closed space. 2. <engineering> A pump used to exhaust from a condenser the condensed steam, the water used for condensing, and any commingled air.

| breast pump | A suction instrument for withdrawing milk from the breast. (05 Mar 2000) |
