Immunopathologic studies have suggested that the features of spondylarthropathy are distinctive, supporting a prominent role for innate immune cells, and can be consistently differentiated from rheumatoid arthritis.

2010, Kewal K. Jain, The Handbook of Biomarkers, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 131:

The frequency of destructive spondylarthropathy increases with duration of survival. In patients treated for more than 10 years by hemodialysis, prevalence estimates vary according to centers between 12 and 48%.

lumpectomized

For both lumpectomized and mastectomized patients, lifelong follow-up with periodic physical and mammographic examinations is obviously essential. In DCIS and LCIS alike, most, if not all, of the issues we have discussed need more study.

1991, Barbara Fowble, Breast Cancer Treatment: A Comprehensive Guide to Management, Mosby Elsevier Health Science
The analysis then investigated whether mammographic and clinical detection capabilities were altered within, and outside of, the lumpectomized quadrant.

“Possibly,” replied Spencer in a dismissive tone, “And of course I'm occasionally forced to do one, but personally I think it's a fad, and it'll pass when all these lumpectomized patients start coming back in droves with their metastatic cancers. […]”

1998, Francis Roe, Francis J. C. Roe, Under the Knife, Onyx Books, →ISBN:

The NSABPB-06 trial found no difference in overall survival in women with stage Iand II breast cancer who underwent either SM, SM with radiation, and TM, but radiation decreased local recurrence in the lumpectomized breast.

internatal

From inter- + Latin nātālis (“relating to birth”).

Poor internatal care will undo the benefit derived from even the best prenatal care.

1936, The New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal:

However, analyses of internatal intervals by the number of live births a woman had experienced discloses nothing about the sequence of events; […]

1971, Myra Woolf, Great Britain. General Register Office, Family intentions an enquiry undertaken for the General Register Office
Again, fewer of the women married after 1959 had achieved their expected family size at the time of the investigation so that there is greater scope for fluctuations in the lengths of the internatal intervals ― but the general conclusion holds even for this group.

Educational interactions during women's routine healthcare visits during internatal care (the time from the birth of one child that extends through the birth of the next child) can be used to maximize positive health benefits.

internatal

From inter- + Latin natis (“rump”) + -al.

[…]; the gluteo-femoral crease does not correspond with that of the opposite side, being prolonged down upon the thigh, or not running at a right angle with the internatal fold, the latter of which inclines toward the affected side.

1868, The Medical and Surgical Reporter, page 276:

Vegetations situated around the anus augmented the difficulty of defaecation, and then fistulous tracts opened by which seropurulent discharge escaped into the internatal sulcus.

It is altogether probable that some of these broken loose bits of hair find a more or less permanent resting place in the internatal cleft.

Keratin plugs and other follicle debris may contribute to the inflammation of the hair in the midline internatal cleft pits.

2008, Kirby I. Bland, Michael G. Sarr, Attila Csendes, Markus W. Büchler, Oliver James Garden, General Surgery: Principles and International Practice, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 759:

While soft tissue edema associated with an acute abscess in the internatal cleft may hide the causative pilonidal sinus, the presence of an abscess in the superior central or slightly lateral sacrococcygeal position is almost invariably associated with pilonidal sinus disease.

2008, Emma Hill, So you want to be a medical mum?, OUP Oxford, →ISBN, page 196:

It may be possible to satisfy the requirements of the nMRCGP/JCPTGP exam by demonstrating only 2 years in hospital posts, plus 1 year in GP-land, plus passing the exam, BUT many trainees in practice recognise that this is a basic core requirement, not a maximum requirement, and indeed, so do many potential GP-employers.

2010, David Church, “GP training ‘schemes’”, in British Journal of General Practice, 60 (575): 451-452:

Because going from, in GP-land, having 15 minute blocks and a room full of patients... I didn't realise how much over the last years I'd learnt all these techniques to block everyone... to find what they needed and get them out in 15 minutes.

According to Boeck, the hue of the papulopustule is due to minute capillary hæmorrhages, which later become invisible in consequence of the tumefaction of the overlying integument.

1893, James Nevins Hyde, A Practical treatise on diseases of the skin, for the use of students and practitioners:

The most common of the eruptive symptoms induced are papulopustule lesions usually discrete, rarely confluent, seen on the face, neck, shoulders, and upper extremities.

Accidental inoculation of an abrasion, cut or open follicle of the skin with virus from a dead body may give rise to the rapid production at the site of poisoning of vesico-papule, papulopustule, furuncle, tubercle, wart or hemorrhagic bleb; or there may be little or no local disturbance, with a rapid development of septicæmia or glandular enlargement.

1902, Henry M. Dearborn, Diseases of the skin: their symptomatology, etiology and diagnosis, with special reference to principles of treatment including full indications for drug remedies:

The area is covered with a watchglass held in place by a bandage; in a positive case a papulopustule will develop within 24 to 72 hours, and it will then be easy to demonstrate Ducrey bacilli.

1976, Günter Waldemar Korting, R. Denk, Differential diagnosis in dermatology, W.B. Saunders Company:

The primary lesion appears to be a papulopustule which affects the follicle.

1995, Neal S. Penneys, Skin Manifestations Of Aids, Second Edition, CRC Press, →ISBN, page 160:

Pyoderma gangrenosum begins as a small papulopustule that expands to form nodules and plaques.

2012, G. Plewig, A.M. Kligman, ACNE and ROSACEA, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 158:

It is due to a true diphtheritic infection by Corynbacterium diphtheriae, which commences as a papulopustule; within a few days, the top of the papule becomes necrotic and an ulcer forms and the ulcer slowly enlarges, until it attains a diameter of 1–2 cm.

2015, Mahmoud Sakr, Clinical Surgery, JP Medical Ltd, →ISBN, page 399:

1993, W. E. De Launey, Harvey Rotstein, W. A. Land, De Launey and Land Principles and Practice of Dermatology:

The morphoeic basal cell carcinoma does not show the characteristic and diagnostically helpful palisading pattern. The striking component of the morphoeic lesion is the stromal change, and very large areas of dense fibrous stroma may be seen with relatively small numbers of epidermal cells apparently trapped within this stroma.

1996, Rona M. MacKie, Skin Cancer, Second Edition, CRC Press, →ISBN, page 131:

Morphoeic BCCs frequently lack clinical and dermoscopic features, and may lack pigmented structures. The transition between tumour and normal skin may still be unclear.

matrixectomy

CO₂ laser matrixectomy is often the procedure of choice for permanent, partial, or total nail ablation in the treatment of recurrent ingrown nails, pincer deformity, and recalcitrant onychomycosis. Chemical matrixectomy with either phenol, sodium hydroxide, or acetic acid is effective but causes extensive tissue necrosis, which may be associated with significant postoperative pain, persistent drainage, or periostitis.

1990, Jeffrey S. Dover, Kenneth A. Arndt, Illustrated cutaneous laser surgery: a practitioner's guide, Appleton & Lange:

General complications secondary to matrixectomy include regrowth (failure), tourniquet trauma causing a tendonitis or neuritis at the base of the toe, infection, and vascular embarrassment resulting in ulceration and gangrene.

2005, Thomas J. Chang, The Foot and Ankle, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, →ISBN, page 12:

Other treatments with carbon dioxide laser are onychoplasty and matrixectomy for the treatment of ingrown toenails and laser surgical removal of the bone spurs by a bone-shaving technique.

2006, Robert Splinter, Brett A. Hooper, An Introduction to Biomedical Optics, Taylor & Francis, →ISBN, page 416:

Bandaging and postoperative wound care are similar to a partial matrixectomy. Partial and total matrixectomies can also be accomplished utilizing a carbon dioxide laser.

2012, Selene G. Parekh, Foot and Ankle Surgery, Jaypee Brothers Publishers, →ISBN, page 173:

Debride the area of any loose nail fragments or hyperkeratotic tissue with the forceps. matrixectomy. Debridement of the granulation tissue is usually sufficient and does not require matrixectomy.

epitype

To test this hypothesis our discussion is focused on finding evidence for gene-specific epitypes that supports or rejects cause-and-effect relationships between genotype, epitype and phenotype.[…]The first approach (A) examines the penetrance of transgenerationally inherited epitypes that are known to activate or silence the expression of disease related gene(s), which in turn correlate with onset of the "aberrant" disease phenotypes.[…]The second and less direct approach (B) searches out epitypes that are duplicated, as DNA sequences are duplicated, and examines multiple copies of DNA sequence and epitype that have been evolutionarily co-conserved.
