What does LOBAR mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to, affecting, or characteristic of a lobe, especially one of the lobes of the lungs or the brain.
Doctors use lobar to describe a condition confined to a single lobe of an organ, most often in phrases such as lobar pneumonia, an infection that fills one clearly defined lobe of the lung with fluid rather than spreading diffusely through both lungs. The same adjective applies to the brain, where a lobar hemorrhage means bleeding confined to one of the brain's lobes rather than deeper structures. Because the word always points to a specific anatomical lobe, it helps clinicians distinguish localized disease from a more widespread, diffuse form of the same illness.
