Finding of alcohol in blood
Finding of alcohol in blood (ICD-11 MA13.1) is laboratory ethanol measurement: enzymatic ADH assay on serum/plasma in hospitals, headspace gas chromatography on whole blood in forensic labs, with stricter uncertainty rules for legal use.
Finding of cocaine in blood
Finding of cocaine in blood: laboratory detection of cocaine, benzoylecgonine, and ecgonine methyl ester in blood. Covers detection windows, GC-MS/LC-MS confirmation, sodium fluoride preservation, and why concentrations predict neither toxicity nor postmortem levels.
Fine motor skill
Fine motor skill: coordination of small muscles, bones, and nerves for small, precise hand movements such as pincer grasp and handwriting; also called manual dexterity. Covers corticospinal, cerebellar, and basal ganglia control, pegboard normative scores, developmental milestones, and stroke rehabilitation robotics.
Fine-mapping
Fine-mapping is a statistical genetics method that narrows a genome-wide association study signal to candidate causal variants, using association statistics and linkage disequilibrium rather than new experiments.
Fine-needle aspiration
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA, FNAC): minimally invasive biopsy using a thin (22-gauge or smaller) needle to sample cells from a mass for microscopic diagnosis; pioneered at Memorial Hospital in the 1920s-1930s and revived by the Swedish Karolinska school.
FINEARTS-HF trial
FINEARTS-HF (NCT04435626): Bayer-funded randomized trial of finerenone, a nonsteroidal MRA, in 6,001 patients with heart failure and LVEF ≥40%; reduced total worsening HF events and CV death (RR 0.84).
Finegoldia magna
Finegoldia magna, formerly Peptostreptococcus magnus and Peptococcus magnus, is an anaerobic Gram-positive coccus of human skin and mucosal flora, the most pathogenic Gram-positive anaerobic coccus, causing soft-tissue, bone, joint, and prosthetic infections.
Finerenone
Finerenone (Kerendia), a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist approved in 2021 for diabetic CKD and in July 2025 for heart failure with LVEF ≥40%, based on FIDELIO-DKD, FIGARO-DKD, and FINEARTS-HF trials.
Finger
Finger: one of five human hand digits, each with three phalanges (two in the thumb), moved by tendons and ligaments. Hox and SHH patterning constrains tetrapods to at most five true digits.
Finger millet
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana, ragi) is a nutritious African-domesticated annual cereal rich in calcium, iron, and methionine, grown in arid Africa and Asia, tolerant of drought and poor soils, and limited by tannins, phytate, and blast disease.
Finger stick
A finger stick is a minimally invasive procedure that pricks a fingertip with a lancet to obtain capillary blood for testing, especially glucose monitoring in diabetes.
Finger tapping test
The finger tapping test (FTT), also called the finger oscillation test, is a neuropsychological assessment measuring psychomotor speed by counting index-finger taps in 10-second trials.
FINGER trial
FINGER (Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability) is a 2015 randomized controlled trial of 1,260 at-risk older adults showing a 2-year multidomain lifestyle intervention improved cognition, spawning the World-Wide FINGERS network.
Fingerprint
Fingerprint: impression of friction ridges on fingers, formed in fetal development, unique and lifelong. Used for identification since ancient China; modern forensics (Galton, Henry, AFIS) and biometrics with measured error rates.
Fingerprint body myopathy
Fingerprint body myopathy (OMIM 305550, ORPHA:97232) is a rare congenital myopathy with neonatal hypotonia, weakness, and fingerprint-pattern lamellar inclusions seen only on electron microscopy; under 20 patients reported.
Fingerstick
A fingerstick is a minimally invasive blood sampling method in which a lancet pricks the fingertip for a small drop of capillary blood, most often for glucose testing.
Fingolimod
Fingolimod (FTY720), sold as Gilenya, is an oral sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator for relapsing multiple sclerosis, approved by the FDA in 2010 as the first oral MS therapy.
Finkelstein's test
Finkelstein's test, a wrist physical-exam maneuver for de Quervain's tenosynovitis, also called Finkelstein sign: thumb held in palm, ulnar deviation, pain at radial styloid; more specific than the commonly confused Eichhoff test.
