| voltage | <physics> Electric potential or potential difference, expressed in volts. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| voltage clamp | <physiology, technique> A technique in electrophysiology, in which a microelectrode is inserted into a cell and current injected through the electrode so as to hold the cells membrane potential at some predefined level. The technique can be used with separate electrodes for voltage sensing and current passing, for small cells, the same electrode can be used for both. Voltage clamp is a powerful technique for the study of ion channels. See: patch clamp. (18 Nov 1997) |
| voltage-gated channel | A class of ion channel's that open and close in response to change in the electrical potential across the plasma membrane of the cell; voltage-gated Na+ c.'s are important for conducting action potential along nerve cell processes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| voltage gated ion channel | <physiology> A transmembrane ion channel whose permeability to ions is extremely sensitive to the transmembrane potential difference. These channels are essential for neuronal signal transmission and for intracellular signal transduction. See: sodium channel. (18 Nov 1997) |
| voltage gradient | <physiology> Literally, the electric field in a region, defined as the potential difference between two points divided by the distance between them. Used more loosely, the potential difference across a plasma membrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
| voltage loop | <radiobiology> A wire which encircles the main axis of a tokamak in the vicinity of the vacuum vessel. The voltage induced in this loop during the shot is a measure of the ohmic heating voltage induced by transformer action and applied to the plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bone scan: falsely negative metastases | <radiology> Anaplastic tumours, reticulum cell sarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid carcinoma, histiocytosis, neuroblastoma, multiple myeloma (positive scan usually due to recent or impending fracture) (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventilators, negative-pressure | Body ventilators that assist ventilation by applying intermittent subatmospheric pressure around the thorax, abdomen, or airway and periodically expand the chest wall and inflate the lungs. They are relatively simple to operate and do not require tracheostomy. These devices include the tank ventilators ("iron lung"), portalung, pneumowrap, and chest cuirass ("tortoise shell"). (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative | <microbiology> A common class of bacteria normally found in the gastrointestinal tract that can be responsible for disease in man (sepsis). Bacteria are considered to be gram-negative because of their characteristic staining properties under the microscope, where they either do not stain or are decolourised by alcohol during Gram's method of staining. This is a primary characteristic of bacteria that have a cell wall composed of a thin layer of peptidoglycan covered by an outer membrane of lipoprotein and lipopolysaccharide containing endotoxin. The gram staining characteristics of bacteria have resulted in an important classification system for the identification of bacteria. See: gram-positive (06 Oct 1997) |
| gram-negative aerobic bacteria | <microbiology> A large group of aerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative aerobic rods and cocci | <microbiology> A group of gram-negative bacteria consisting of rod- and coccus-shaped cells. They are both aerobic (able to grow under an air atmosphere) and microaerophilic (grow better in low concentrations of oxygen) under nitrogen-fixing conditions but, when supplied with a source of fixed nitrogen, they grow as aerobes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative anaerobic bacteria | <microbiology> A large group of anaerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative anaerobic cocci | <microbiology> A group of anaerobic coccoid bacteria that show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative anaerobic straight, curved, and helical rods | <microbiology> A group of anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gram-negative bacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria which lose crystal violet stain but are stained pink when treated by gram's method. (12 Dec 1998) |
