  eMedicine - Digital Mucous Cyst : Article by Murad Alam, MD
Background: Digital mucous cysts (DMCs) are benign ganglion cysts of the digits, typically located at the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints or in the proximal nail fold.
In the literature, they have been referred to as cystomata, myxomatous cutaneous cysts, myxomatous degenerative cysts, periarticular fibromas, synovial lesions of the skin, periungual ganglions, mucous cysts, myxoid cysts, synovial cysts, dorsal cysts, nail cysts, cystic nodules, digital mucoid cysts, digital myxoid cysts, and digital mucinous pseudocysts.

  Characterizing Mucous Cell Remodeling in Cystic Fibrosis: Relationship to Neutrophils - Health - RedOrbit   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Remodeling of mucous cells in the surface epithelium and in submucosal glands is characteristic of CF, but surprisingly few studies have examined mucous cell phenotypes in CF in detail or have characterized the expression patterns of gel-forming mucins in the surface epithelium and submucosa.
In this study, we examined neutrophilic inflammation and mucous cell remodeling in CF by performing detailed analyses of neutrophils, mucous cells, and mucins in tissue sections from biopsies obtained during research bronchoscopy.
Bronchial mucous glands in the newborn with cystic fibrosis.

 Mucous membrane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mucous membranes (or mucosae; singular: mucosa) are linings of ectodermic origin, covered in epithelium, and are involved in absorption and secretion.
It is at several places continuous with skin: at the nostrils, the lips, the ears, the genital area, and the anus.
The term 'mucous membrane' refers to where they are found in the body and not every mucous membrane secretes mucus.

Mucous membrane plasmacytosis is a rare, idiopathic condition consisting of a dense plasma-cell infiltrate of the mucous membranes.
Mucous membrane plasmacytosis of the upper aerodigestive tract is a rare, benign disorder in which the mucous membranes are infiltrated by plasma cells.
Mucous membrane lesions are present in one-third of patients with secondary syphilis, and histology can show superficial and deep perivascular infiltrate of plasma cells, lymphocytes and macrophages distributed in a bandlike pattern in the dermis, accompanied by psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis [28].

 Physical Signs of Ovulation
Cervical mucous monitoring involves examining the mucous that is secreted from the cervix, which enables a woman to tell where she is in her cycle and thereby predict the time of ovulation.
It is based on examining the mucous that is normally secreted from the cervix in order to determine where the woman is in her cycle.
Mucous can be easier to retrieve after bearing down (like she is going to have a bowel movement) or after exercising.

 NIH Guide: MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF MUCOUS CELL METAPLASIA AND EXCESS MUCOUS SECRETION IN HUMAN AIRWAY DISEASES
Control of mucous hypersecretion is a difficult challenge because of the complex roles of mucus in host defenses, the variety of stimuli that can induce mucous secretions, the redundancy of the signal transduction pathways involved, and the multiplicity of mucin genes.
For example, molecular studies of specific mucous pathways in animal models or in primary cultures of normal airway epithelial cells might be combined with measurements that assess the presence and operation of these pathways in the airway mucous cells of humans with and without airway disease.
However, the emphasis of this RFA is on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate airway mucous function and not on the clinical consequences of excess mucous secretion.
