Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Emphysematous Cholecystitis
A variant of acute cholecystitis with inflammation of the GALLBLADDER that is characterized by the pockets of gas in the gallbladder wall. It is due to secondary infection caused by gas-forming organisms, and has a high risk of perforation.
Body Piercing
The perforation of an anatomical region for the wearing of jewelry.
Urinoma
An encapsulated accumulation of URINE in the retroperitoneal area. It has the appearance of a cyst (CYSTS). Urinoma is usually caused by URETERAL OBSTRUCTION, renal trauma or perforation of the renal collecting system.
Nasal Cartilages
Hyaline cartilages in the nose. There are five major nasal cartilages including two lateral, two alar, and one septal.
Septal Occluder Device
