| glottis | <anatomy> The vocal apparatus of the larynx, consisting of the true vocal cords (plica) vocalis) and the opening between them (rima glottidis). (14 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| glottis respiratoria | The opening between the vocal processes of the arytenoid cartilages. Synonym: pars intercartilaginea rimae glottidis, glottis respiratoria, intercartilaginous part of glottic opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glottis spuria | The interval between the false vocal cords or vestibular folds. Synonym: false glottis, glottis spuria, rima respiratoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glottis vera | The interval between the true vocal cords. Synonym: glottis vera, rima vocalis, true glottis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glottis vocalis | The portion of the opening anterior to the vocal processes of the arytenoid cartilages bounded by the vocal ligaments. Synonym: pars intermembranacea rimae glottidis, glottis vocalis, intermembranous part of glottic opening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| true glottis | The interval between the true vocal cords. Synonym: glottis vera, rima vocalis, true glottis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ambulant oedema | Oedema forming during periods of walking with the legs dependent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioneurotic oedema | <neurology> An acute or recurring attack of transient oedema suddenly appearing in areas of the skin or mucous membranes and occasionally of the viscera, often associated with dermatographism, urticaria, erythema, and purpura. It can produce dramatic swelling of the subcutaneous tissues (welts beneath the skin) that typically appears around the eyes and lips. Welts may also involve the hands, feet and throat (compromise the airway). This condition is associated with allergies (for example foods, pollen), but may also be a side effect of some medications (for example ACE inhibitors, salicylates). Emotional stress, exposure to cold, water, sunlight, heat and insect bites all have been know to cause angioneurotic oedema. Treatment is with adrenaline, antihistamines, cimetidine, and/or corticosteroids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| angioneurotic oedema, hereditary | A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) 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. Also called hereditary angioedema. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Berlin's oedema | Retinal oedema after blunt trauma to the globe. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blue oedema | The swelling and cyanosis of an extremity in hysterical paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain oedema | Brain swelling due to increased volume of the extravascular compartment from the uptake of water in the neuropile and white matter. See: brain swelling. Synonym: brain oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brawny oedema | Swelling of subcutaneous tissues which cannot be indented by compression easily. Usually due to metabolic abnormality, such as increased glycosaminoglycan content, like that which occurs in Graves' disease (pretibial myxoedema) or in early phase of scleroderma. Synonym: brawny oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brown oedema | Oedema of the lungs associated with chronic passive congestion. (05 Mar 2000) |
