Hi bobbym,

The Answer #712 (The bony labyrinth (also osseous labyrinth or otic capsule)) is perfect! Remarkable!

#713. Name the medical term / phrase : The term refers to the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant. It enhanced the science of medical bone and joint replacement techniques as well as dental implants and improving prosthetics for amputees.  It is also defined as: "the formation of a direct interface between an implant and bone, without intervening soft tissue". It was first observed—albeit not explicitly stated—by Bothe, Beaton, and Davenport in 1940. Bothe et al. were the first researchers to implant titanium in an animal and remarked how it had the tendency to fuse with bone. Bothe et al. reported that due to the elemental nature of the titanium, its strength, and its hardness, it had great potential to be used as future prosthesis material. The medical term was later described by Gottlieb Leventhal in 1951.

Hi bobbym,

Good attempt!

#714. Name the medical term / phrase : A rare systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the classic triad of persistent high spiking fevers, joint pain and a distinctive salmon-colored bumpy rash. The disease is considered a diagnosis of exclusion. Levels of the iron-binding protein ferritin may be elevated with this disorder. AOSD may present in a similar manner to other inflammatory diseases and to autoimmune diseases, which must be ruled out before making the diagnosis. Prognosis is usually favorable but manifestations of the disease affecting the lungs, heart, or kidney may occasionally cause severe life-threatening complications.

Hi bobbym,

#715. Name the medical term / phrase : (also known as Grade IV Astrocytoma) It is the most common and most aggressive malignant primary brain tumor in humans, involving glial cells and accounting for 52% of all functional tissue brain tumor cases and 20% of all intracranial tumors. GBM is a rare disease, with an incidence of 2–3 cases per 100,000 person life-years in Europe and North America. About 50% of the patients diagnosed with GBM die within one year, while 90% within three years. Treatment can involve chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Median survival with standard-of-care radiation and chemotherapy with temozolomide is 15 months. Median survival without treatment is 4½ months. Although no randomized controlled trials have been done, surgery remains the standard of care.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #715 (Glioblastoma multiforme) is perfectly right! Marvelous!

#716. Name the medical term / phrase :  : A blockage of the lung's main artery or one of its branches by a substance that has traveled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream. It results from deep vein thrombosis (commonly a blood clot in a leg) that breaks off and migrates to the lung, a process termed venous thromboembolism (VTE). The obstruction of the blood flow through the lungs and the resultant pressure on the right ventricle of the heart lead to the symptoms and signs of it. The risk of it is increased in various situations, such as cancer or prolonged bed rest.

Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #716 (Pulmonary embolism) is correct! Eminence!

#717. Name the medical term / phrase : A cognitive disorder of face perception where the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing (e.g., object discrimination) and intellectual functioning (e.g., decision making) remain intact. The specific brain area usually associated with it is the fusiform gyrus, which activates specifically in response to faces. The functionality of the fusiform gyrus allows most people to recognize faces in more detail than they do similarly complex inanimate objects. For those with this, the new method for recognizing faces depends on the less-sensitive object recognition system. The right hemisphere fusiform gyrus is more often involved in familiar face recognition than the left. It remains unclear whether the fusiform gyrus is only specific for the recognition of human faces or if it is also involved in highly trained visual stimuli.

Hi bobbym,

#718. Name the medical term / phrase : A group of rare inherited skin diseases that are characterized by the development of blisters following minimal pressure to the skin. Blistering often appears in infancy in response to simply being held or handled. In rarer forms of the disorder, this disease can be life-threatening. There is no cure for the disorder. Treatment focuses on preventing and treating wounds and infection.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #718 (Epidermolysis Bullosa or Butterfly Disease) is perfect! Remarkable!

#719.  Name the medical term / phrase : (also known as BlackBerry thumb, gamer's thumb, washerwoman's sprain, mother's wrist, or mommy thumb) It is a tenosynovitis of the sheath or tunnel that surrounds two tendons that control movement of the thumb. Symptoms are chronic pain, spasms, tenderness, occasional burning sensation in the hand, and swelling over the thumb side of the wrist, and difficulty gripping.  (Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath (called the synovium) that surrounds a tendon. Symptoms of tenosynovitis include pain, swelling and difficulty moving the particular joint where the inflammation occurs.)

Hi bobbym,

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #720 (The femoral triangle (of Scarpa)) is correct! Brilliant! (Antonio Scarpa (9 May 1752 – 31 October 1832) was an Italian anatomist and professor).

#721. Name the medical term / phrase : (also known as Pemphigus neonatorum or Localized bullous impetigo) : This is the scalded skin syndrome, a potentially serious side effect of infection with the Staph (Staphylococcus) bacteria that produces a specific protein which loosens the "cement" holding the various layers of the skin together. This allows blister formation and sloughing of the top layer of skin. It is necessary to treat scalded skin syndrome with intravenous antibiotics and to protect the skin from allowing dehydration to occur if large areas peel off. The disease occurs predominantly in children under 5 years of age. It is known formally as Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome.

Hi bobbym,

#722. Name the medical term : A neurosurgical procedure that involves creating a hole within a cerebral ventricle for drainage. It is done by surgically penetrating the skull, dura mater, and brain such that the ventricle of the brain is accessed. When catheter drainage is temporary, it is commonly referred to as an external ventricular drain, or EVD. When catheter drainage is permanent, it is usually referred to as a shunt.

Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi bobbym,

#723. Name the medical term / phrase : A hiccup is an involuntary contraction (myoclonic jerk) of the diaphragm that may repeat several times per minute. In medicine, it is known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF). The hiccup is an involuntary action involving a reflex arc. Once triggered, the reflex causes a strong contraction of the diaphragm followed about 0.25 seconds later by closure of the vocal cords, which results in the classic "hic" sound.. By what other name is it known?

#724. Name the medical term / phrase : Maximal thickness of a primary cutaneous melanoma measured in tissue sections from the top of the epidermal granular layer, or from the ulcer base (if the tumor is ulcerated), to the bottom of the tumor; metastatic rates correlate closely with tumor thickness.
