| intestinal polyps | Pedunculated or sessile growths arising from the intestinal mucosa and extending into the lumen. The disease includes intestinal polyposis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| adenomatous polyps | Benign neoplasms derived from glandular epithelium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gastric polyps | <radiology> Hyperplastic (most common), adenoma, hamartoma, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Cowden syndrome, inflammatory, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, villous adenoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| cervical polyps | A benign growth projecting from the mucosa of the cervix. The cause is unknown but may be associated with local inflammation. They are more common in women over 20 who have had children. Some may cause bleeding and interfere with normal menstrual cycles. Diagnosis is by physical examination (pelvic exam). A PAP smear will be recommended since some cervical cancers may appear as a polyp. Treatment is surgical removal. (27 Sep 1997) |
| colon cancer and polyps | Benign tumours of the large intestine are called polyps. Malignant tumours of the large intestine are called cancers. Benign polyps do not invade nearby tissue or spread to other parts of the body. Benign polyps can be easily removed during colonoscopy, and are not life threatening. If benign polyps are not removed from the large intestine, they can become malignant (cancerous) over time. most of the cancers of the large intestine are believed to have developed from polyps. (12 Dec 1998) |
| polyps | A general descriptive term used with reference to any mass of tissue that bulges or projects outward or upward from the normal surface level, thereby being macroscopically visible as a hemispheroidal, spheroidal, or irregular moundlike structure growing from a relatively broad base or a slender stalk. Classically applied to a growth on the mucous membrane of the nose, the term is now applied to such protrusions from any mucous membrane. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nasal polyps | Focal accumulations of oedema fluid in the nasal mucosa accompanied by hyperplasia of the associated submucosal connective tissue. Polyps may be neoplasms, foci of inflammation, degenerative lesions, or malformations. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anterior intestinal portal | Anterior intestinal portal; the opening of the foregut into the midgut. See: epigastric fossa. Synonym: anterior intestinal portal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas, intestinal | The complaint referred to as intestinal gas is a common one and the discomfort can be quite significant. Everyone has gas and eliminates it by burping or passing it through the rectum. In many instances people think they have too much gas when in reality they have normal amounts. most people produce 1 to 3 pints of intestinal gas in 24 hours and pass gas an average of 14 times a day. It is made up primarily of odourless vapors such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and in some families, methane. The unpleasant odour is due to bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases containing sulfur. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vasoactive intestinal contractor | Mouse homologue of endothelin 2. (18 Nov 1997) |
| vasoactive intestinal peptide | <gastroenterology, protein> Peptide of 28 amino acids, originally isolated from porcine intestine, but later found in the central nervous system where it acts as a neuropeptide and is released by specific interneurons. May also affect behaviour of cells of the immune system. Acronym: VIP (05 Jan 1998) |
| vasoactive intestinal polypeptide | A polypeptide hormone secreted most commonly by non-beta islet cell tumours of the pancreas, producing copious watery diarrhoea and faecal electrolyte loss, particularly hypokalaemia; VIP increases the rates of glycogenolysis; stimulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. Synonym: vasoactive intestinal peptide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, vasoactive intestinal peptide | Cell surface proteins that bind vasoactive intestinal peptide (vip) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behaviour of cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| megacystitis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome | <syndrome> A rare condition characterised by abdominal distention, lax abdominal musculature, incomplete intestinal rotation, and deficient intestinal peristalsis. A large bladder and often vesicoureteral reflux are seen. Typically affects female neonates and usually fatal in first year of life. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple intestinal polyposis | Begins usually in late childhood; polyps increase in numbers, causing symptoms of chronic colitis, and carcinoma of the colon almost invariably develops in untreated cases; autosomal dominant inheritance. In the Gardner syndrome there are extracolonic changes (desmoid tumours, etc.). Synonym: polyposis coli. Hamartomatous polyposis of the small or large intestine, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome with melanin spots on the lips, less common, miscellaneous, rare, and doubtful occurrences. Synonym: familial intestinal polyposis. (05 Mar 2000) |
