Glossary 369 Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF): See Esophageal atresia. 5 Tracheomalacia: Congenital tracheomalacia is a weakness and floppiness of the walls of the windpipe (trachea). Because the windpipe is the main airway, breathing difficulties begin soon after birth. 5 Transvaginal ultrasound: A method to look at a woman’s reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and vagina. Transvaginal means across or through the vagina. 5 25-OH vitamin D: This test is the most accurate measure of the amount of vitamin D in the body. 5 Umbilical cord blood: Blood left in the placenta and cord after a baby is born. Blood contains hematopoietic stem cells. Unicornuate uterus: One half of a uterus that forms with a cervix and is usually connected to the vagina. This uterus will function normally, although the woman is at risk for premature delivery of a fetus and for breech presentation which may necessitate a cesarean section. Sometimes called hemi-uterus. 24 White blood cells: Blood cells which fight infection. 2 Wilms tumor: A cancerous tumor of the kidney that occurs in children. 5 Z-score: A Z-score is used to compare a patient’s results to results in healthy persons of the same age, weight, ethnicity, and gender. This is useful to determine if there is something unusual contributing to the patient’s bone loss. 23
