abfraction (countable and uncountable, plural abfractions)

From ab- + fraction (“act of breaking”); from 1991.

Due to the stresses resulting from biomechanical loading forces exerted on the teeth (static, as in swallowing and clenching[,] or cyclic, as in chewing), both enamel and dentin can chip or break away. This loss of tooth substance, which shall be termed Abfraction, is dependent on the magnitude, duration, direction, frequency, and location of the forces. These abfractive lesions are caused by flexure and ultimate material fatigue of susceptible teeth at locations away from the point of loading. Clinical observation of a variety of enamel and dentin lesions due to the shapes, sizes, loci, and frequency warrants a new and distinct classification.

gelosis

gelosis (countable and uncountable, plural geloses)

Borrowed from German Gelose, coined by German physician Heinrich Karl Wilhelm Schade in 1921. By surface analysis, gel + -osis.

[H.] Schade explains the effect of chilling as tending to gel the colloids in the protoplasm. Any change in the colloid condition, no matter how transient, must upset the normal processes more or less. This “gelosis” from the action of cold can be felt in the stiffness in the face and hands after brief exposure to severe cold, and he thinks similar changes may occur in internal tissues and may modify the defensive forces and entail “catching cold.”

1922 September 9, “Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, Basel: “Colds””, in Journal of the American Medical Association, volume 79, number 11, Chicago, Ill., →DOI, page 922:

The older writers, follpwing Hippocrates, held that the fluids of the body were congealed by the direct effect of the cold, and we cannot regard as otherwise than an essential reversion to these ideas the theory of certain modern writers who speak of the effect of cold being due to a colloid injury of tissues (gelosis, frigorosis).

1926 March, Walter A. Wells, “The Atmospheric Factor in the Causation of Colds”, in Annals of Otology, Rhinology and Laryngology, volume 35, number 1, St. Louis, Mo.: The Annals Publishing Co., pages 205–206:

Schade, like others, holds that the pathogenic action of cold on the body is of three kinds. There is, first, the local action on the superficial parts, which causes a gel formation or gelosis, with hardening of tissue. This change in the skin or muscles can be readily measured by the elastometer or even by the finger.

1931 December 5, “International Society of Medical Hydrology: Chill in the Causation of Disease”, in The Lancet, volume 2 [218], number 5649, →DOI, Medical Societies, page 1243:

(medicine, obsolete) A localized hardening or stiffness of tissue after exposure to severe cold, supposedly caused by a colloidal change resulting in gel formation and increased viscosity in the protoplasm of cells.

If the tension of the bowstring decreases, the bow wood relaxes equally. However, if you pull on the string, the tension of the bow increases immediately. Myofascial geloses can exist on both sides, but the pain predominantly occurs on the hypertension side.

2023, Rolf Eichinger, Kerstin Klink, “The Assessment in KLINEA” (chapter 9), in Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: Diagnostics and Therapy, Berlin: Springer, →DOI, →ISBN, page 68:

(medicine, now rare) A hardening or stiffness of tissue, especially in a muscle.

overranging

To reconstruct the first and last sections of a helical computed tomographic (CT) scan, the scan length is automatically extended beyond the planned image boundaries, a phenomenon known as overranging.

2010 July 4, Arnold Schilham et al., “Overranging at Multisection CT: An Underestimated Source of Excess Radiation Exposure”, in RadioGraphics, volume 30, number 4, →DOI:

Overranging allows a DVM to measure voltage values above the normal decade transfer points without the necessity of having to change ranges.

1983, Stanley Wolf, Guide to Electronic Measurements and Laboratory Practice, page 118:

Overranging was instituted to take full advantage of the upper limits of a range . It also provides better accuracy at the top of a range .

1985, Alvis J. Evans, Using Your Meter: VOM and DVM Multitesters, page 15:

In helical scanning, exposure is needed before the start and after the end of the planned scan range in order to reconstruct images at these positions [46]. This overranging requires at least one extra gantry rotation, even though only a small portion of this data is utilised for image reconstruction.

2016, Joel H. Bortz, Aarthi Ramlaul, Leonie Munro, CT Colonography for Radiographers:

(radiography) The act of scanning beyond the boundaries of what is being imaged, usually in order to accurately reconstruct the edges of that region.


cycloversion

Rotation of an eye about the visual axis is known as ocular torsion. Conjugate torsion of the two eyes is known as cycloversion.

1993, Ian P. Howard, Spatial Vision in Humans and Robots: The Proceedings of the 1991 York Conference on Spatial Vision in Humans and Robots, Cambridge University Press, page 349:

Binocular torsion can be transformed into cyclovergence and cycloversion. Cyclovergence is the difference of the torsion of the left and right eyes; cycloversion is the mean of the left and right eye torsion.

1995, L.J. van Rijn, J van der Steen, H. Collewijn, Update on Strabismus and Pediatric Ophthalmology: Proceeding of the Joint ISA and AAPO&S Meeting, Vancouver, Canada, June 19 to 23, 1994, CRC Press, page 156:

In 1992, Enright recognized for the first time an association between vertical vergence and cycloversion. He observed that the vertical vergence producing a left hyperdeviation was associated with levocycloversion and vice versa. He calculated that the ratio between the vertical vergence and cycloversion was such that this cycloversion is likely mediated by the oblique muscles.

2004, M. Edward Wilson, Strabismus Surgery: Basic and Advanced Strategies, Oxford University Press, page 71:

(medicine) Conjugate cyclorotation of the eye (torsional movements in the same direction).


cyclorotation

In measuring eye position, for instance, both Fick and Wundt had adopted procedures which did not treat the co-ordinate frame of the primary position as fundamental. Rather, they related cyclorotations to the visual plane—which is variable—instead of to the horizontal in the primary position.

1993, Timothy Lenoir, Hermann Von Helmholtz and the Foundations of Nineteenth-Century Science, University of California Press, page 151:

The images of horizontal lines in the upper visual field acquire a gradient of cyclorotation with one sign, and those in the lower visual field acquire a gradient of cyclorotation with the opposite sign, as shown in Figure 7.8b.

1995, Ian P. Howard, Brian J. Rogers, Binocular Vision and Stereopsis, Oxford University Press, page 269:

Also shown are the coefficients of the residual wavefronts assuming a partial correction of the original wavefront due to a cyclorotation of the eye. To estimate how much error may induce due to the cyclorotation of the eye, the residual RMS wavefront error as well as the residual high-order RMS wavefront error for each of the rotation angles is shown.

2002, Ian P. Howard, Brian J. Rogers, Seeing in Depth - Volume 1, →ISBN, page 363:

If the eye is over-accommodated the derivative of the changes in lens power and the derivative of the changes in contrast will have the opposite signs as these two signals will be out of phase; and vice versa for an under-accommodated eye.

bastard strangles

From bastard (“a variation that is not genuine”) + strangles.

When horſes have either the real or baſtard ſtrangles, or are changing their foal teeth, or are putting out their upper tuſhes, ſome of them have their ſight weak and troubled, [...]

1735, “EYE of a horse”, in The Sportsman’s Dictionary: Or, The Country Gentleman’s Companion, in All Rural Recreations: […], volume I, London: Printed for C. Hitch, […], and C. Davis, […]; and S. Austin, […], →OCLC, paragraph 3:

Monſieur Solleyſell, as well as our own Countryman Mr. Markham, has accounted for the Baſtard Strangles in a very odd kind of Manner.

1742, Henry Bracken, “Of the Bastard Strangles”, in Farriery Improv’d: Or, A Compleat Treatise upon the Art of Farriery. […], London: Printed for J. Clarke […]; and J. Shuckburgh […], →OCLC, page 29:

The origin of the term strangles arises from the fact that in some cases it is associated with symptoms of choking or strangulation, and it was divided by the old writers into simple and bastard strangles; the first form being that which ran a regular course, and the second consisting in the formation of multiple or successive abscesses. [...] Irregular or bastard strangles, on the other hand, is a very grave affection, in which the connective tissue of the lymphatics of the submaxillary region, and sometimes the salivary glands, are the seat of acute suppurative inflammation, [...]

1878, William Williams, “Terminations of Inflammation—Continued”, in The Principles and Practice of Veterinary Surgery, 2nd revised and enlarged edition, New York, N.Y.: Wm. Wood & Co. […], →OCLC, page 43:

The most common complication is bastard strangles, metastatic spread of the infection to lymph nodes and organs other than the nodes of the head.

2004, Bonnie Rush, Tim Mair, “Strangles”, in Equine Respiratory Diseases, Oxford, Malden, Mass.: Blackwell Science, →ISBN, section III (Contagious Respiratory Diseases), page 164:

Isolation of infected animals can prevent epidemics of strangles and is recommended for new additions to a herd or group. In some horses, purpura hemorrhagica and even bastard strangles may follow vaccination, though this is relatively rare.

2005, Will A. Hadden III, “Head and Neck”, in Cheryl Rogers, G. Jeanne Wilcox, editors, Horseman’s Veterinary Encyclopedia, revised and updated edition, Guilford, Conn.: The Lyons Press, →ISBN, page 352:

Bastard strangles, in which abscessation develops in many organs, is a serious complication in about 1% of affected animals.

ditzel

We surveyed the members of the Society of Thoracic Radiology regarding their interpretation of and management decisions for very small (3-5 mm) pulmonary nodules—“ditzels”—noted on CT. […] Those radiologists located in an area considered endemic for granulomatous disease were more likely to consider an incidental ditzel benign and to recommend follow-up, whereas those in a nonendemic area were more likely to recommend biopsy.

2001 June 7, Reginald F. Munden, ““Ditzels” on Chest CT”, in American Journal of Roentgenology, volume 176, number 6:

Many asymptomatic patients have CT scans for a variety of reasons and have these "ditzels" found. They are then referred for management.

2001, Edward M. Copeland, The Year Book of Surgery: 2001, page 408:

To make matters worse, each of these heroic poems ends with recommendations for further imaging to include ultrasound (US) of the pelvis, US of the kidneys, magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis, CT of the full chest, and repeat studies with additional contrast or thin-section evaluations of specific organs for the 'ditzels' described.
