| Miescher's elastoma | Circinate groups of hyperkeratotic papules that become dislodged, leaving a small bloody depression; associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Miescher's granuloma | An annular eruption on sun-exposed skin which microscopically shows phagocytosis of dermal elastic fibres by giant cells and histiocytes. Synonym: Miescher's granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchial tubes | <anatomy> The bronchial tubes which arise from the branching of the trachea, especially. The subdivision of the bronchi. Origin: L, pl. Cf. Bronchus. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| chest tubes | Plastic tubes used for drainage of air or fluid from the pleural space. Their surgical insertion is called tube thoracostomy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Southey's tubes | An obsolete cannulas of small, almost capillary, caliber, thrust by a trocar into the subcutaneous tissues to drain the fluid of anasarca. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ear tubes | Formally known as tympanostomy tubes, ear tubes are small plastic tubes inserted into the eardrum (the tympanum) to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time. To put the tubes in place, a myringotomy (a surgically placed tiny incision in the eardrum) is done. Any fluid, usually thickened secretions, will be removed. The ear tubes usually remain in place for 6 months to several years. Water should not be allowed to enter the ear canal while the tubes are in place. Eventually, they will move out of the eardrum (extrude) and fall into the ear canal. The doctor may remove the tube during a routine future office visit or it may simply fall out of the ear without the child realizing it. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tubal folds of uterine tubes | Many longitudinal folds in the mucous membrane of the uterine (fallopian) tube. Synonym: plicae tubariae tubae uterinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubes, fallopian | The Fallopian tubes normally transport the egg of the female from the egg sac, or ovary, to the womb, or uterus. Normal tubes have small hair like projections on the lining cells called cilia. These cilia are important to movement of the egg through the fallopian tube and into the uterus. If the tubal cilia are damaged by infection, the egg may not get 'pushed along' normally and can settle in the tube. Likewise, if infection causes partial blockage of the tube with scar tissue, this can also act to prevent the egg from getting to the uterus. Any process that narrows the tube and thus decrease the caliber of the passage way can increase the chance of an ectopic pregnancy. Examples of these would be endometriosis, tumours, or scar tissue in the pelvis (pelvic adhesions) that cause twisting or chinking of the tube. (12 Dec 1998) |
