| CBE | cotton bract |
| absorbable gelatin film | A sterile, nonantigenic, absorbable, water-insoluble, thin sheet of gelatin prepared by drying a gelatin-formaldehyde solution on plates; used in the closure and repair of defects in membranes such as the dura mater or the pleura; it undergoes absorption over a period of 1 to 6 months. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| absorbable gelatin sponge | A sterile, absorbable, water-insoluble gelatin base sponge, used to control capillary bleeding in surgical operations; it is left in situ and is absorbed in from 4 to 6 weeks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absorbable surgical suture | A surgical suture material prepared from a substance that can be digested by body tissues and is therefore not permanent; it is available in various diameters and tensile strengths, and can be treated to modify its resistance to absorption and be impregnated with antimicrobial agents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gelatin sponge, absorbable | <chemical> Sterile, gelatin-base surgical sponge applied topically as an adjunct to haemostasis when the control of bleeding by conventional procedures is ineffective to reduce capillary ooze or is impractical. Pharmacological action: haemostatics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| absorbent cotton | Cotton from which all fatty matter has been extracted, so that it readily takes up fluids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cotton | <botany> Any of the cultivated varieties of gossypium, herbs or shrubs of the malvaceae family that yield fibre for textiles and absorbent dressings, oil from seeds, and various chemicals. The fibres cause byssinosis if inhaled over a period. Gossypol is a male anti-fertility agent from cottonseed oil. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cotton-dust asthma | <chest medicine> Exposures to cotton dust during the production of yarns, linen and rope can produce chronic obstructive lung disease (after 10 years). Early symptoms include chest tightness. Treatment includes bronchodilators and removal from work environment. (21 Mar 1998) |
| Cotton effect | The positive and negative displacement from zero of the rotation of plane polarised monochromatic light and the change of monochromatic circularly polarised light into elliptically polarised light in the immediate vicinity of the absorption band of the substance through which the light passes. See: optical rotatory dispersion, circular dichroism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cotton-fibre embolism | Embolism by cotton fibres from sterile gauze used in intravenous medication or transfusion; may form as foreign body granulomas in small pulmonary arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cotton, Frank | <person> U.S. Chemist, *1930. See: Cotton effect. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cotton-mill fever | <chest medicine> Exposures to cotton dust during the production of yarns, linen and rope can produce chronic obstructive lung disease (after 10 years). Early symptoms include chest tightness. Treatment includes bronchodilators and removal from work environment. (21 Mar 1998) |
| cotton-root bark | Dried root bark of Gossypium herbaceum and other species of Gossypium (family Malvaceae). Has been used as an abortifacient and oxytocic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cotton-wool patches | <clinical sign, ophthalmology> White, fuzzy areas on the surface of the retina (accumulations of cellular organelles) caused by damage (usually infarction) of the retinal fibre layer. Synonym: cotton-wool spots. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cotton-wool spots | <clinical sign, ophthalmology> White, fuzzy areas on the surface of the retina (accumulations of cellular organelles) caused by damage (usually infarction) of the retinal fibre layer. Synonym: cotton-wool spots. (05 Mar 2000) |
| purified cotton | Absorbent cotton in which the hairs of the seed of varieties of Gossypium and other allied species are freed from adhering impurities, deprived of fatty matter, bleached, and sterilised; used for tampons, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
