| Quincke's puncture | A diagnostic procedure where a sterile needle is introduced into the lower spine (L2) to collect cerebrospinal fluid for diagnostic purposes. Chemical analysis, cellular analysis and CSF pressure can all be measured with this procedure. This test can aid in the diagnosis of meningitis, subarachnoid haemorrhage and multiple sclerosis. (27 Sep 1997) |

| disease, quincke's | This is angioneurotic oedema (or angioedema), a form of localised swelling of the deeper layers of the skin and fatty tissues beneath the skin. Hereditary angioneurotic oedema (or hereditary angioedema) is a genetic form of angioedema. Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen, and swelling of the voice box (larynx) which can compromise breathing. The diagnosis is suspected with a history of recurrent angioedema. It is confirmed by finding abnormally low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor in the blood. Treatment options include antihistamines and male steroids (androgens) that can also prevent the recurrent attacks. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Quincke's oedema | A vascular reaction involving the deep dermis or subcutaneous or submucal tissues, representing localised oedema caused by dilatation and increased permeability of the capillaries and characterised by development of giant wheals. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Quincke's pulse | The capillary pulse as appreciated in the finger and toenails during aortic regurgitation; ebb and flow is seen. Synonym: Quincke's sign. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Bernard's puncture | A puncture at a point in the floor of the fourth ventricle of the brain which causes glycosuria. Synonym: Bernard's puncture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cisternal puncture | Passage of a hollow needle through the posterior atlantooccipital membrane into the cisterna cerebellomedullaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Salah's sternal puncture needle | A wide-bore needle for obtaining samples of red marrow from the sternum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| puncture | 1. The act of piercing or penetrating with a pointed object or instrument. 2. <surgery> A wound so made. Origin: L. Punctura (18 Nov 1997) |
| puncture diabetes | Experimental diabetes produced in animals by puncture of the floor of the fourth ventricle of the brain. Synonym: piqure diabetes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| puncture wound | An injury from piercing or penetrating with a pointed object. Any puncture wound through tennis shoes (as with a nail) has a high risk of infection because the foam in tennis shoes can harbor a bacteria (pseudomonas). (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin-puncture test | Test for Behcet's syndrome; after pricking the skin with a sterile needle, pustulation follows within 24 hours, owing to the dermal sensitivity in this disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
