| pipe bone | One of the elongated bones of the extremities, consisting of a tubular shaft (diaphysis) and two extremities (epiphyses) usually wider than the shaft; the shaft is composed of compact bone surrounding a central medullary cavity. Compare: short bone. Synonym: os longum, pipe bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pipe-smoker's cancer | Squamous cell carcinoma of the lips occurring in pipe smokers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pipe stem cirrhosis | Cirrhosis of the liver with finger-like fibrosis predominantly around portal tracts, seen in schistosomiasis. Leads to portal hypertension but rarely to functional failure of the liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lead-pipe rigidity | The plastic type of rigidity resembling that of a pipe of lead seen in certain forms of parkinsonism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| water-whistle sound | A bubbling whistle heard on auscultation over a bronchial or pulmonary fistula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anvil sound | In cases of a large pulmonary cavity or of pneumothorax, a clear metallic sound obtained by striking a coin, held against the chest, by another coin, or by flicking the chest wall with one's fingernail; the sound is heard on auscultating the chest wall on the same side anteroposteriorly. Synonym: anvil sound, bell sound, coin test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial sound | The sound produced in late diastole in association with ventricular filling due to atrial systole and related to reduced ventricular compliance. It is a low frequency oscillation that may be normal at older ages owing to a physiologic decline in ventricular compliance but is nearly always abnormal at younger ages if it is of high intensity or palpable. It is common in ventricular hypertrophy, particularly with hypertension, and is almost invariable during acute myocardial infarction. Fourth heart sounds may arise from the right or left ventricle or both. Synonym: atrial sound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auscultatory sound | A rale, murmur, bruit, fremitus, or other sound heard on auscultation of the chest or abdomen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bell sound | In cases of a large pulmonary cavity or of pneumothorax, a clear metallic sound obtained by striking a coin, held against the chest, by another coin, or by flicking the chest wall with one's fingernail; the sound is heard on auscultating the chest wall on the same side anteroposteriorly. Synonym: anvil sound, bell sound, coin test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Campbell sound | A miniature sound with a short round-tipped beak, especially curved for the deep urethra of the young male. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cannon sound | The loud first heart sound heard intermittently in complete atrioventricular block and in interference-dissociation when the ventricles happen to contract shortly after the atria. Synonym: cannon sound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac sound | The sounds heard over the cardiac region produced by the functioning of the heart. There are four distinct sounds: the first occurs at the beginning of systole and is heard as a "lubb" sound; the second is produced by the closing of the aortic and pulmonary valves and is heard as a "dupp" sound; the third is produced by vibrations of the ventricular walls when suddenly distended by the rush of blood from the atria; and the fourth is produced by atrial contraction and ventricular filling but is rarely audible in the normal heart. The physiological concept of heart sounds is differentiated from the pathological heart murmurs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gallop sound | The abnormal third or fourth heart sound which, when added to the first and second sound's, produces the triple cadence of gallop rhythm. See: gallop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| van Buren sound | A standard sound, available in several calibers, with a gently curved tip designed to follow the contour of the deep bulbous urethra in the male; used for urethral calibration or dilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
