| reduced enamel epithelium | The several layers of the enamel organ remaining on the enamel surface after formation of enamel is completed. Synonym: reduced enamel epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| reduced eye | A simplified design of the ocular optical system, represented as having a single refracting surface and a uniform index of refraction; a model based on this concept is used in retinoscopy and ophthalmoscopy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduced glutathione | Glutathione acting as a hydrogen donor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduced haematin | 1. <biochemistry> Compounds of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring that differ in side chain composition. Haems are the prosthetic groups of cytochromes and are found in most oxygen carrier proteins. 2. <prefix> haem-, eaning relating to blood. Origin: G. Haima (21 Jun 2000) |
| reduced haemoglobin | The form of Hb in red blood cells after the oxygen of oxyhemoglobin is released in the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduced interarch distance | An occluding vertical dimension which results in an excessive interocclusal distance when the mandible is in rest position, and in a reduced interridge distance when the teeth are in contact. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Listing's reduced eye | A representation that simplifies calculations of retinal imagery: radius of anterior refracting surface, 5.1 mm; total length, 20 mm; distance of nodal point to retina, 15 mm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal mass | <radiology> Metastasis, most common (especially lung, melanoma), primary adenocarcinoma, large at diagnosis (greater than 5 cm), usually functional (increased corticosteroids most likely to be Cushing's), rapid growth, benign adrenal adenoma, with or without functional, nonfunctional occurs in 2-8% of population, diff from metastasis: MRI (metastasis bright on T2), biopsy, follow, pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma, myelolipoma, cyst / pseudocyst see also: adrenal calcification, haemorrhage (12 Dec 1998) |
| apperceptive mass | The already existing knowledge base in a similar or related area with which the new perceptual material is articulated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atomic mass | <chemistry, physics> The mass of an atom relative to other atoms. The present-day basis of the scale of atomic weights is carbon, the most common isotope of this element has arbitrarily been assigned an atomic weight of 12. The unit of the scale is 1/12 the weight of the carbon atom or roughly the mass of one proton or one neutron. The atomic weight of any element is approximately equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in is nucleus (16 Dec 1997) |
| atomic mass unit | <chemistry> One-twelfth the mass of a neutral atom of the most abundant isotope of carbon. (16 Dec 1997) |
| bilateral adrenal mass | <radiology> Acute granulomatous disease (e.g., TB), metastases (bilateral in 15%), pheochromocytoma (bilateral in 10%), adrenal hyperplasia (adenoma), spontaneous adrenal haemorrhage (12 Dec 1998) |
| body mass index | One of the anthropometric measures of body mass; it has the highest correlation with skinfold thickness or body density. (12 Dec 1998) |
| breast mass | <oncology, surgery> A breast lump may be benign or cancerous. Examples of breast lumps include: breast abscess, fat necrosis, fibroadenoma, fibrocystic breast disease and breast cancer. A breast biopsy is the best way to determine the aetiology of a breast lump. Remember, 80 to 85% of all biopsies are benign. (27 Sep 1997) |
| para-sellar mass | <radiology> Mnemonic: SATCHMO, S sphenoid sinus tumour, A aneurysm / adenoma of pituitary, T teratoid lesion, C craniopharyngioma, H hypothalamic glioma / histiocytoma, M meningioma / metastasis, O optic glioma less common lesions: germinoma, epidermoid, hamartoma, chordoma, arachnoid cyst (12 Dec 1998) |
