| gene products, rev | Trans-acting nuclear proteins whose functional expression are required for HIV viral replication. Specifically, the rev gene products are required for processing and translation of the HIV gag and env mRNAs, and thus rev regulates the expression of the viral structural proteins. Rev can also regulate viral regulatory proteins. A cis-acting antirepression sequence (car) in env, also known as the rev-responsive element (rre), is responsive to the rev gene product. Rev is short for regulator of virion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, rev | DNA sequences that form the coding region for a protein that regulates the expression of the viral structural and regulatory proteins in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Rev is short for regulator of virion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rev | <molecular biology> A regulatory protein produced by HIV within infected cells. Rev helps transport HIV RNA sequences (messenger RNA) out from the nucleus into the cells cytoplasm, where it directs construction of proteins for new virus particles. (11 Jan 1998) |
| active labour | Contractions resulting in progressive effacement and dilation of the cervix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| missed labour | Brief uterine contractions which do not lead to labour and expulsion of the infant, but which cease, resulting in the indefinite retention of the foetus (usually lifeless) either in utero or extrauterine, e.g., in the abdominal cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| placental stage of labour | The part of labour from the birth of the baby until the placenta (afterbirth) and foetal membranes are delivered. Also called the third stage of labour. (12 Dec 1998) |
| precipitate labour | Very rapid labour ending in delivery of the foetus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| premature labour | Onset of labour before the 37th completed week of pregnancy dated from the last normal menstrual period. (05 Mar 2000) |
| second stage of labour | <obstetrics> The part of labour from the full dilatation of the cervix until the baby is completely out of the birth canal. The second stage of labour is also called the stage of expulsion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dry labour | An obsolete term for labour after spontaneous loss of the amniotic fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced labour | <obstetrics> Labour that is brought about by artificial means. (12 Dec 1998) |
| International Labour Organization Classification | ILO 1980 International Classification of Radiographs of the Pneumoconioses; a system for qualitative and semiquantitative description of the chest radiographic findings caused by pneumoconiosis, designed for epidemiologic studies; supersedes classifications of 1950, 1958, 1968, and 1971. (05 Mar 2000) |
| third stage of labour | The part of labour from the birth of the baby until the placenta (afterbirth) and foetal membranes are delivered. The third stage of labour is also called the placental stage. (12 Dec 1998) |
