A small amount of fluid build up at the joint, possilby a sign of slight Arthritis, mild gout or a moderate physical trauma ( for example a fall onto the knee).
Im pretty sure it just means a very small amount of effusion.
This was seen in an xray along with a fracture. Also seen were the words significant effusion. All these terms were on the xray. I am asking what do vascular calcification and significant effusion mean. Thank You.
no pleural effusion no pulmonary nodule no endobronchial lessions of the lungs
A process related to diffusion is effusion, the process by which a gas escapes from a container into a vacuum through a small hole. The rate of effusion is also related to root mean square velocity-heavier molecules effuse more slowly than lighter ones. The rate of effusion-the amount of gas that effused in a given time- is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas.
that they have the same kenetic energy
The pleural effusion is any abnormal amount of fluid all around the lungs. It can result to varying types of medical conditions.
Notunnecessarily based upon your question it only means that fluid has been made note of. If there were more fluid accumulating then it would state so in comparison to a previous chest x-ray. Pleural effusion is common with CHF.
an accumulation of fluid in the ankle
what does it mean when you are told you have a small nonspecific focus of subchondral marrow edema involving the anterior medial femoral condyle? left knee
It means the knee is cracked.
Diffusion is the movement of particles in a space like perfume filling a room once the bottle has been opened. Effusion is the movement of particles through a small opening like natural gas leaking from a pipe.
