equipment is the Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words. It's great! There are 11 pages of alphabetized clamps in there.

misleading and inaccurate Google is. This definition is for acute PYELONEPHRITIS. You will not find "polynephritis" in any Stedman's or Dorland's reference. APN is the abbreviation for "acute pyelonephritis."
