squeeze box

squeeze boxes (plural)
squeezebox (alternative)

Jebby rushed to the area behind the mare's paddock. What he saw there filled him with fresh concern. Isabella was in the "squeeze box." This, he knew, was a strait jacket for animals! […] He had seen the old squeeze box sitting in the field behind the hoofed animals' paddock. Zoo keepers had used it in the days before the invention of the Tranquilizer Gun for immobilizing animals when they wanted to inoculate them or treat them for illness or injury. If the squeeze box were used unwisely, a Zoo keeper had told Jebby, an animal inside it could be squeezed almost to death. And it always caused panic as the wooden sides pressed against the trapped creature's body.

1963, Ann Cottrell Free, Forever the Wild Mare, New York, N.Y.: Dodd, Mead and Company, →OCLC:

Williams and Sawyer (1995) reported on successful techniques used on a large number of otters in the rehabilitation centers during the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Restraint equipment included heavy leather welder's gloves with long sleeves, a large salmon dip net fitted with an elongated bag of soft 1-in. mesh net, a throw net, blankets, stuff bags, and some sort of squeeze box. […] The bag is quickly placed over the head, shoulders, and thorax, and the otter is held by pressing down on the bag. This is best accomplished while the otter is in the net or squeeze box with the animal on its back and the hind legs held by a second handler[…].

Snakes and beaded lizards can be measured effectively in a "squeeze box" (Quinn and Jones 1974). A squeeze box immobilizes an animal by pressing it between a transparent lid and a soft foam bottom. Squeeze boxes have diverse designs[…], but basically, they are all modifications of the original described by Quinn and Jones (1974).

Physical restraint devices (e.g., rabbit squeezeboxes and cat bags) are a useful adjunct to anesthesia, particularly in the induction period. Restrained rabbits quickly develop hyperthermia, however, especially when environmental temperatures are high. Physical restraint of free-living rabbits and hares should be minimal.

oligometastasis

en-noun

oligometastasis (countable and uncountable, plural oligometastases)

Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

Despite an increasing interest in oligometastases, the definition of the term “oligometastases” can be very confusing because it has been dependent on the particular research. Many researchers have defined oligometastases as metastases that are limited in both number (typically, less than 5) and location. Another confusing issue is outcome evaluation; researchers have evaluated the outcome of oligometastases by overall survival or local control. […] Hellman and Weichselbaum originally proposed the state of oligometastases in 1995 based on a consideration of the multistep nature of cancer progression. They proposed the existence of an oligometastatic state that was an “intermediate between purely localized lesions and those widely metastatic”. The state was expounded to be “amenable to a curative therapeutic strategy” and “amenable to localized therapy”.
