| External fetal monitoring is at times more difficult in the presence of maternal obesity given the challenge of transducing the fetal heart through the maternal pannus. |
| The pannus and the cells within it are responsible for the periarticular bony erosions in the bare areas. |
| With the passage of time, the synovium thickens to form pannus tissue which invades cartilage and bone. |
| Two MS. copies of this pannus vere purpureus are in Mr. Murray's possession. |
| Used in this way, the combination damps down inflammation and slows down, but does not entirely prevent, the growth of pannus and thickening of tendons. |
| Often, after antigenic stimulation, macrophagelymphocyte cooperation triggers an activation of the T lymphocyte, stimulating the secretion of cytokines, which aggravates the pannus and the cartilage destruction. |
