whack-a-mole1. Literally, an arcade game in which the player uses a small rubber mallet to hit robotic toy moles that pop up randomly in holes laid out across the surface of the machine. I love coming to this old arcade. I have a lot of fond memories playing whack-a-mole and skee ball here as a kid.2. By extension, a situation in which problems continue to arise faster than one is able to solve or cope with them, resulting in piecemeal, incomplete, or temporary results. These dang pop-up ads are so annoying! It's a game of whack-a-mole every time I go online these days! Every time we think we have the software debugged, more problems show up. We've just been playing whack-a-mole from day one!blind as a bat/beetle/moleTotally blind, or, figuratively, unseeing. None of these animals is, by the way, truly blind. The bat flies about in the dark in seemingly erratic paths (see bats in one’s belfry), and the beetle and mole burrow through the ground. Nevertheless, these similes are quite old and have become clichés. The bat analogy dates from the sixteenth century at least (John Harvey); the mole and beetle similes come from Roman times and were cited in translations by Erasmus.See also: bat, beetle, blind, molemole
mole (mōl), 1. See also: Avogadro number. Synonym(s): nevus (2) 2. See also: Avogadro number. Synonym(s): nevus pigmentosus3. An intrauterine mass formed by the degeneration of the partly developed products of conception. See also: Avogadro number. 4. In the SI, the unit of amount of substance, defined as that amount of a substance containing as many "elementary entities" as there are atoms in 0.0120 kg of carbon-12; "elementary entities" may be atoms, molecules, ions, or any describable entity or defined mixture of entities and must be specified when this term is used; in practical terms, the mole is 6.0221367 × 1023 "elementary entities." See also: Avogadro number. mole 1 (mōl)n. A skin lesion, commonly a nevus, that is typically raised and discolored.
mole 2 (mōl)n. A fleshy abnormal mass formed in the uterus by the degeneration or abortive development of an ovum.mole Chemistry The number of grams equal to a chemical’s formula weight, an element’s atomic weight, or a compound’s molecular weight. Dermatology A nonspecific lay term for any pigmented lesion, benign or malignant. Obstetrics (1) Hydatidiform mole, see there. (2) Complete mole. The chorionic villi are swollen, often accompanied by trophoblastic proliferation but not foetal tissue. CMs are 10–20 times more common in Southeast Asia, and demonstrate innumerable grape-like avascular chorionic villi. Most CMs have a 46 XX genotype, of which both X chromosomes are of paternal origin; in 10–15% of the complete moles that are 46 XY, both the X and Y chromosomes are of paternal origin. CMs may be due to abnormal gametogenesis and fertilisation: while in 46 XX moles there is fertilisation of an empty ovum with no effective genome by a haploid sperm that duplicates without cytokinesis, in the 46 XY complete moles there may be fertilisation of an empty ovum by two haploid sperm with subsequent fusion and replication. (3) Partial mole. A mass characterised by a mixture of foetal tissue with normal oedematous villi and/or hydropic degeneration. Most partial moles are triploid (47 XXY > 47 XXX, > 47 XYY), rarely also trisomy 16, and may be the result of unsuccessful dual fertilisation of a single ovum; the conceptus does not die, but remains as a proliferating “tumour”. (4) Invasive mole. A trophoblastic proliferation that penetrates the myometrium and may undergo malignant degeneration into a choriocarcinoma.mole Dermatology A nonspecific lay term for any pigmented lesion, benign or malignant. See Melanoma, Nevus Obstetrics Hydatidiform mole, see there. mole (mol) (mōl) 1. Synonym(s): nevus (2) . 2. Synonym(s): nevus pigmentosus. 3.

2 mole, mol (mōl) [Ger. Mol, abbr. for Molekulargewicht, molecular weight] In the Système International d’ Unités (SI system), 1 mole of a substance contains as many atoms as exist in 0.012 kg of carbon 12.
3 mole (mol) [L. moles, a shapeless mass] A uterine mass arising from a poorly developed or degenerating ovum.blood moleA mass made up of blood clots, membranes, and placenta, retained after fetal death.Breus mole See: Breus molecarneous moleA uterine mass that consists of clotted blood and remnants of the placenta and fetal membranes. It may be retained in the uterus for many months after a miscarriage or missed abortion. Synonym: fleshy molefalse moleA mole formed from a uterine tumor or polypus.fleshy moleCarneous mole.hydatid moleA rare form of gestational trophoblastic disease in which there is overproduction of chorionic villi normally destined to develop into the placenta. A partial mole is characterized by an abnormal placenta and some fetal development; a complete mole, by an abnormal placenta and no fetal development. Complete and partial moles differ in karyotype. Complete moles show an absence of maternal chromosomes and a duplication of spermatozoal chromosomes. Partial moles exhibit either karyotype 69 XXY or karyotype 69 XYY due to the presence of the maternal X chromosome. Symptoms of molar pregnancy may include abnormal uterine growth (usually increased), nausea and vomiting, vaginal bleeding, and high blood pressure. Diagnosis is made by measuring serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels and ultrasonography, and definitive treatment is complete surgical removal of the mole, usually with curettage. Moles that are not removed may become malignant. Eighty percent of all moles are benign. See: gestational trophoblastic diseasestone moleA fleshy mole that has undergone calcific degeneration in the uterus.true moleA mole representing the degenerated embryo or fetus.vesicular moleHydatid mole.mole 1. A coloured (pigmented) birth-mark (naevus). Hairy moles may be disfiguring but are never dangerous. Moles seldom undergo malignant change, but any alteration is size, shape or colour should be reported at once. Moles are easily removed under local anaesthesia. From the Latin mola , a millstone. See also MALIGNANT MELANOMA. 2. The basic unit of amount of substance; the amount that contains the same number of entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kg of carbon-12. The entity may be an atom, a molecule, an ion, and so on. From the German molekül , a molecule. mole the basic SI unit of amount of substance. One mole of any substance contains 6.023 × 1023 (Avogadro's number) molecules, atoms or ions of an element or compound equal to the relative molecular mass in grams. Symbol: mol.MoleA mass of abnormal, partially developed tissues inside the uterus (womb). Moles develop during a pregnancy that begins with an abnormal fertilization.Mentioned in: Choriocarcinomamole (mol) (mōl) 1. Synonym(s): nevus (2) . 2. Synonym(s): nevus pigmentosus. 3. An intrauterine mass formed by the degeneration of the partly developed products of conception. [A.S. māēl (L. macula), a spot]Patient discussion about moleQ. How can you know if a mole is a skin cancer or not? I'm only 15, but I’ve had this small thing on my right shoulder for a reeeeaaaally long time. It's the same color as my skin. It’s smaller than the head of a pencil eraser, perfectly round, and its smooth. I've never worried about it seriously, until about a week ago, when I read an article in a magazine about skin cancer. Even then I wouldn't have worried about it, because It didn't really match any of the symptoms, except one. It did bleed once about 2 1/2 years ago. And it said bleeding was a big sign I don't know, what do you think? And please try and say something other than," go have it checked out". Because I currently have no insurance. Thanks :]A. If I’m not mistaken- there are clinics that do free checkups for skin cancer. I know that in my town there are couple. Here is a link I got when I googled “do free checks for skin cancer”: http://skinsurgeryclinic.co.nz/free.htm look for one near your home.
Q. My husband has a very small mole that was cut.We can not seem to get it to stop bleeding. Any suggestions? tried a shaving pencil, and band-aids of every size. Just will not stop bleeding.A. In this case, you should go see the doctor who took the mole out, or any dermatologist actually, that can burn the spot a little bit to help it stop bleeding. More discussions about moleMOLE
