2005, R. F. A. Weber, G. R. Dohle, J. C. Romijn, “Clinical Laboratory Evaluation of Male Subfertility”, in Gregory S. Makowski, editor, Advances in Clinical Chemistry, Volume 40, Elsevier (Academic Press), page 350:

Collectively, these observed human phenotypes have been referred to as the testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS).

2015, Gasry R. Klinefelter, “20: Male Reproductive Toxicology: Environmental Exposures versus Reproductive Competence”, in Mohamed Abou-Donia, editor, Mammalian Toxicology, Wiley, page 473:

Some of the risk factors for testicular dysgenesis syndrome are known, including premature birth, intrauterine growth restriction, maternal stress during pregnancy and some rare genetic disorders. However, these conditions cause only a small percentage of testicular dysgenesis syndrome cases.

iliotibial band

iliotibial band (plural iliotibial bands)

Both conditions are a type of repetitive strain injury from friction at either end of an important structure known as the iliotibial band. Because the common denominator in what causes injury is friction, both conditions are collectively referred to as iliotibial band friction syndrome. Runner's knee is the more common form of this syndrome.

2004, Stuart C. Apfel, MD, David C Saidoff, PT, The Healthy Body Handbook: A Total Guide to the Prevention and Treatment of Sports Injuries, Demos Medical Publishing, page 139

The iliotibial band is an extension of the fascia lata, which inserts at the lateral condyle of the tibia. The iliotibial band can rub back and forth over the lateral epicondyle of the femur and irritate the iliotibial bursa beneath […]

1981, Simon Sevitt, Bone Repair and Fracture Healing in Man, page 285:

testcross

The inbreds of groups 3 and 4 have a distinct difference in plant height, except for a few selections, presumably because of some difference in selection pressure at low- and high-stand densities. Group means for testcross performance showed more progress in group 4 than in group 3 because of a difference in the number of low-yielding genotypes in the two groups.

1967, W. A. Russell, A. H. Teich, Selection in Zea Mays L. by Inbred Line Appearance and Testcross Performance in Low and High Plant Densities:

You could determine its genotype by performing a testcross. If the plant were homozygous (TT), a testcross would produce all tall progeny (TT × tt → all Tt); if the plant were heterozygous (Tt), half of the progeny would be tall and half would be short (Tt × tt → 1/2 Tt and 1/2 tt). When a testcross is performed, any recessive allele in the unknown genotype is expressed in the progeny, because it will be paired with a recessive allele from the homozygous recessive parent.

polypragmatism

en-noun

polypragmatism (countable and uncountable, plural polypragmatisms)

Why interfere with a self-limited condition unless some unusual feature, a danger sign, makes its appearance? Polypragmatism was always ridiculous. Is it not polypragmatism if we do something useless, unnecessary, uncalled for?

In the later imperial age, medical polypragmatism seems to have been the order of the day. The most diverse remedies were administered, not least because, as Galen himself admitted, 'the people demand medication'.

fetofetal

1980, Angelo Ferrara, Anantham Harin, Emergency transfer of the high-risk neonate: a working manual for medical, nursing, and administrative personnel, C.V. Mosby
Fetofetal transfusion is a condition in which one twin (recipient) will be hypervolemic, in cardiac failure, and plethoric, while the donor twin will be hypovolemic, shocky, and pale. Chronic fetofetal transfusions can result in a discrepancy of weight of over 10%.

In four cases, appropriate shunt communications meant that the morpho-anatomical conditions were available for the presence of a fetofetal transfusion syndrome.

The incidence of fetofetal transfusion syndrome was 20%, more than double the incidence previously reported in large series of twin deliveries that encompassed a wider gestational age range. The overall mortality was 55%, and mortality for the fetofetal transfusion group was 70%, whereas a subset of the fetofetal transfusion group, those without weight discordancy, had a mortality rate of 75%.

1990, Excerpta medica. Section 10: Obstetrics and gynecology:

When fetofetal transfusion syndrome occurs in very preterm gestation, treatment options are limited and often unsuccessful. The perinatal morbidity and mortality of fetofetal transfusion syndrome in very premature twin gestations in 48 pairs of twin gestations delivered at 24-28 weeks' gestation were studied.

1991, Daniel R. Mishell, 1991 Year Book of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Year Book Medical Pub, →ISBN:

As a result of this imbalance, a net fetofetal transfusion occurs, from one twin (the donor) to the other (the recipient).

2005, Laura B. Myers, Linda A. Bulich, Anesthesia for Fetal Intervention and Surgery, PMPH-USA, →ISBN, page 127:

Acute fetal hypovolemia may be secondary to hemorrhage, as in placenta previa at the end of the pregnancy, or to fetomaternal or fetofetal transfusion. The fetal circulation is theoretically independent, but at the end of pregnancy, fetomaternal or fetofetal circulatory anastomosis may exist.

2012, Claus Diebler, Olivier Dulac, Pediatric Neurology and Neuroradiology: Cerebral and Cranial Diseases, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 185:

(medicine) Relating to, or communicating between two fetuses, especially twin fetuses; twin-to-twin.


foetofoetal

Anemic foetal circulatory failure from a placental vein rupture, foetal maternal haemorrhage, or foetofoetal transfusion may lead to infarcts and secondary thrombosis.

1977, James G. McNulty, Radiology of the liver, Saunders Limited.:

Hyperbilirubinemia is found to occur significantly higher in twins than in singletons. Such high incidence may be due to prematurity, higher haematocrit possibly from foetofoetal transfusion etc.

In 4 DG (13 %) a foetofoetal transfusion syndrome occurred. 5 DF (6 %) had some of the serious malformations. 27 DG were completed.

For example, there can be a greater discrepancy in the birth weights of MZ twins relative to DZ twins due to the foetofoetal transfusion syndrome, and certain perinatal complications are more likely to occur in MZ than DZ twins.

2012, Joseph Glicksohn, The Neurobiology of Criminal Behavior, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN:

In particular, the foetofoetal transfusion syndrome (which arises when the blood from one identical twin transfuses into the other twin) causes significantly different prenatal environments for monozygotic twins.
