| human fibrin foam | A dry artificial sponge of human fibrin prepared by clotting with thrombin a foam of a solution of human fibrinogen; the clotted foam is dried from the frozen state and heated; used as a topical anticoagulant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrin foam | <chemical> A dry artificial sterile sponge of fibrin prepared by clotting with thrombin a foam or solution of fibrinogen. It is used in conjunction with thrombin as a haemostatic in surgery at sites where bleeding cannot be controlled by more common methods. Pharmacological action: haemostatics, tissue adhesives.

| foam | 1. To gather foam; to froth; as, the billows foam. "He foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth." (Mark ix. 18) 2. To form foam, or become filled with foam; said of a steam boiler when the water is unduly agitated and frothy, as because of chemical action. Origin: AS. F?man. See Foam, n.

| foam cells | Lipid-laden macrophages originating from monocytes or from smooth muscle cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foam stability test | A test for foetal pulmonary maturity, determined by the ability of pulmonary surfactant in amniotic fluid to generate stable foam in the presence of ethanol after mechanical agitation. Synonym: shake test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| active treatment | A therapeutic substance or course intended to ameliorate the basic disease problem, as opposed to supportive or palliative treatment. Compare: causal treatment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aerobic waste treatment | The used of aerobic microbes to break down raw sewage. (09 Oct 1997) |

| glaucoma treatment | A laser beam of light is focused on the part of the anterior chamber where the fluid leaves the eye. This results in a series of small changes, which makes it easier for fluid to exit the eye. Over time, the effect of laser surgery may wear off. Patients who have this form of surgery may need to keep taking glaucoma drugs. Although glaucoma cannot be cured, it can usually be controlled. Medical treatment can be in the form of eyedrops or pills. Some drugs are designed to reduce pressure by slowing the flow of fluid into the eye, while others help to improve fluid drainage. The regular use of medications usually controls the increased fluid pressure. However, these drugs may stop working over time or they may cause side effects so that the eye care professional may select other drugs, change the dose, or use other means to deal with the glaucoma. Surgery can also help fluid escape from the eye and thereby reduce the pressure. However, surgery is now usually reserved for patients whose pressure cannot be controlled with eyedrops, pills, or laser surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| medical treatment | Treatment of disease by hygienic and pharmacologic remedies, as distinguished from invasive surgical procedures. (05 Mar 2000) |
