What is meant by the term 'meniscus'?
473704
when you have liquid in a container, particularly water, will curl up on the sides as it tries to expand it's surface area. in a volumetric flask or a graduated cylinder the meniscus will look like a little contact lens or a curve dipping down and when you are measuring things, the very bottom of the meniscus should be located at where you want the amount, (ie: 3 mLs.)

Most likely it is "SLAP" which stands for Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior.  The labrum is a soft fibrous tissue rim that surrounds the socket (called the glenoid) of the shoulder to help stabilize the joint.  This means the superior glenoid labrum has torn or detached.  This is more complicated than normal rotator cuff tear because the labrum tear serves as the origin attachment of the long head of the biceps muscle.\n\nThere is some good information on this website: http://www.emedicine.com/SPORTS/topic42.htm

there is none! A torn meniscus is an injury to the cartilidge in the knee. I had the same injury about a year ago. I was told to take huge doses of glucosamine and chondroitin to rebuild it, but not a word about GM foods. I would agree that it is bad to eat genetically modified foods, but it has nothing to do with a knee injury. \n\nhmmmm maybe there is something in GM foods that effects the regrowth of the cartilidge. I would love to know if there is!

It's "diarthrotic" joints.  They are freely movable joints such as the elbow and knee.

Mensicus.  Yes, there are different types of this particular cartilge.  It is very thick, the goes to very thin.  Crucial for the largest joint in the body, stabilizing and much more.  Get it checked out by a orthopedst who specializes in knee injuries.  Get a second opinion as well... one wrong move can cause you potential problems for life.  See someone reputable, or just out of school--then rest assured you know they are going to care about their patients and be very cautious.

Sounds like a HINGE joint.  Not sure if you're referring to the type of joint or the name.  Elbows and knees are types of hinge joints

I agree with Kanajlo's answer as being correct, and will check it also as  best answer. "Oblique Popliteal Ligament\nOr you could say popliteus or popliteum"

It is the wearing away and/or softening of the articular cartilage. \n\nThe articular cartilage is a connective tissue that covers and protects the underside of the patella, the bottom end of the femur, and top end of the tibia. It absorbs stress to the knee joint and allows the patella to track smoothly in its femoral groove.\n\nCauses typically include excessive running or similar activity can wear down the articular cartilage over time. This can occur due to the patella not tracking smoothly in its femoral groove.\n\nThe symptoms include pain around the patella (kneecap), usually occurring on the medial (inner) side and below (inferior aspect of the patella).\n\nRecommended Treatment would be R.I.C.E. - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Reduce activity to promote healing. Avoid downhill runs especially. Strengthen surrounding muscles with a professionally recommended program. Apply Ice for 10-15 minutes after each workout to reduce inflammation and pain. (If any skin irritation or adverse reaction occurs due to icing, see your medical doctor). A proper stretching (Quadriceps, Iliotibial Band) routine is highly recommended pre and post workouts. As with any orthopedic injury, a consultation with a sports medicine professional is recommended.

It is spinal meningitis and refers to an infection/inflammation of the meninges which is the lining of the brain and spinal column. This can be a potentially very serious condition depending on the bacteria/virus that is causing the infection and the patients health. It can potentially cause brain damage, paralysis or even death.\n\nFor further information - check the CDC website:\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/meningococcal_g.htm

I thought it meant how severe something was but I am not finding anything to back me up on that. I think, from looking on the internet, people use it for the word gravity. No other definition for any such word - just suggestions to the other forms that relate to gravity.

Cubic length. For example cubic feet, cubic inches, cubic centimeters, cubic yards etc.

You REALLY need to go to another doctor (an orthopedic surgeon).  Meniscal tears are really common and there IS treatment.  Arthroscopic surgery (an outpatient procedure) is the most common treatment of the problem.  Not too long after the surgery, you'd be able to resume your normal activities.  There's a danger in not taking care of the problem, since meniscal tears can progress over time and become worse, causing further cartilage damage that would require more extensive treatment.  PLEASE see another doctor right away!
