hepar old use

The more rattling there is in the chest the more it is like Hepar.

Hepatica is named from its leaves, which, like the human liver (Greek hepar), have three lobes.

Synonyms include hepar sulfuris, sulfur, sulfurated potash and sulfurated potassa.

"Hepar" and "jecur" go back to a common Indo-European root that underlies "gigerium" and "gizzard."

In the laryngitis and bronchitis of adults it is as useful as in the croups of children (especially Aconite and Hepar).

The correct term arises from the Greek pelios, i.e. discoloured by extravasated blood, livid, and the Latinized genitive case (hepatis) of the Greek hepar, liver.

In the early 20th century Jay McLean, L. Emmet Holt Jr. and William Henry Howell discovered the anticoagulant heparin, which they isolated from the liver (hepar).

Liver tumors or hepatic tumors are tumors or growths on or in the liver (medical terms pertaining to the liver often start in hepato- or hepatic from the Greek word for liver, hepar).
