Universal entry(ies)
Passiflora ligularis
Latin
Passiflora ligularis var. geminiflora
Latin
Passiflora serratistipula
Latin
Passiflora lowei
Latin
CONT

The sweet granadilla is the common species of Passiflora ranging from central Mexico through Central America and western South America, through western Bolivia to south-central Peru.

OBS

The epicarp is a hard sclerophyllous tissue that gives the [sweet granadilla] fruit a firm texture and brittle nature and will crack rather than wrinkle as yellow [or purple] passionfruit does when it ripens or pressure is applied.

OBS

yellow passionfruit: common name also used to refer to the species Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa.

Passiflora serratistipula
Latin
Passiflora lowei
Latin
CONT

Ainsi, le fruit de la passion pourpre (Passiflora edulis Sims) est sans aucun doute le plus présent sur les marchés européens. Le fruit de la passion jaune (Passiflora edulis flavicarpa) est moins fréquent et son commerce semble avoir diminué ces dernières années. Quant à la grenadille de montagne (Passiflora ligularis), son créneau commercial est peu important en termes de volumes mais régulier.

OBS

À ne pas confondre avec Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa (fruit de la passion jaune) et Passiflora edulis (grenadille pourpre, communément appelé fruit de la passion). Principales différences : la peau ne se fripe pas, elle est plus coriace et luisante et le fruit est un peu plus gros.

The zoospores settle on a hard surface after a short planktonic existence.

Record 7 2008-08-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Surgical Instruments
DEF

Instrument designed to cut and shape solid materials and hard tissues such as tooth and bone with a beveled cutting edge on one side.

OBS

These instruments typically consist of a manual, handheld device with a flat blade with the cutting edge at the working end; chisels may be conformed with or attached to a handle. Chisels are used mainly in clinical settings to cut and contour bones in surgical (e.g., middle ear, orthopedic), dental, and postmortem (e.g., autopsy) procedures.

OBS

An instrument modeled after a carpenter's chisel intended for cutting or cleaving hard tissue. The cutting edge is beveled on one side only; the shank may be straight or angled.

OBS

In all probability, chisels and gouges, derived from carpenters’ and masons’ tools, were utilized to amputate hands and feet as a legal punishment ... During the nineteenth century, smaller gouges and chisels with a single beveled edge were employed generally for mastoid, skull, and bone surgery.

PHR

Army, bone, chlamydia, contra-angle, middle ear, nasal, obstetric, pituitary gland, posterior, spine, symphysiotomy chisel.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments chirurgicaux
OBS

Le terme anglais "chisel" désigne tant un burin qu'un ciseau. Les deux instruments peuvent être utilisés seuls ou percutés à l'aide d'un marteau. Tous deux ont une extrémité biseautée tranchante. Alors que le burin sert à entailler le périoste ou l'os, le ciseau est utilisé en chirurgie osseuse pour prélever, tailler ou trancher un greffon ou un fragment osseux.

Subject field(s)
  • Cancers and Oncology
OBS

Medullary carcinoma tends to be soft and fleshy, rather than stony hard, and often become quite large. On cut section, the tumor bulges above the surrounding tissue, rather than retracting below it. Unlike the scirrhous carcinoma, the medullary carcinoma has a very scant stroma. The tumor cells grow in large, irregular sheets of undifferentiated polygonal to spindle cells, although occasionally, well-differentiated gland formations are present, meriting the designation "medullary carcinoma. "

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cancers et oncologie
DEF

Carcinome bien limité constitué de cellules peu différenciées dans un stroma peu abondant avec une intense infiltration lymphoïde.

CONT

Épithélioma médullaire. Il s'agit d'un épithélioma canaliculaire, tout à fait indifférencié, à stroma lymphoïde. La lésion est composée de cellules épithéliomateuses volumineuses plus ou moins polymorphes, souvent en mitoses, qui se groupent en travées ou lobules de taille variable. Les éléments néoplasiques reposent dans un stroma qui est très riche en cellules lymphoïdes auxquelles se mêlent parfois des plasmocytes.

OBS

La très grande majorité des cancers du sein se développe aux dépens de l'épithélium des canaux galactophores ou des lobules glandulaires, réalisant des adénocarcinomes plus ou moins différenciés. Dans cette catégorie on distingue : a) Les carcinomes non infiltrants, [les] carcinomes lobulaires «in situ», [et les] carcinomes intracanalaires. b) Les carcinomes infiltrants. c) Les carcinomes particuliers en raison de leur modalité évolutive propre ou de leur morphologie spéciale - les formes médullaires ou «à stroma lymphoïde» bien circonscrites, - les formes colloïdes à composante myxoïde abondante, bien circonscrites aussi - les carcinomes à lobules infiltrants, à cellules isolées, souvent très mal limitées, en squirrhe, diffusant plus loin et se bilatéralisant plus fréquemment que les autres formes de carcinomes.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Tipos de cáncer y oncología
