| phase separation | <chemistry> The separation of fluid phases that contain different concentrations of common components. Occurs with partially miscible solvents used in many biochemical separation methods. Also temperature dependent phase separation occurs with some detergent solutions. With reference to membranes means the segregation of lipid components into domains that have different chemical composition. (31 Dec 1997) |

| anxiety, separation | Anxiety experienced by an individual upon separation from a person or object of particular significance to him. (12 Dec 1998) |

| separation | The act of separating, or the state of being separated, or separate. Specifically: Chemical analysis. Divorce. The operation of removing water from steam. Judicial separation, a form of divorce; a separation of man and wife which has the effect of making each a single person for all legal purposes but without ability to contract a new marriage. Origin: L. Separatio: cf. F. Separation. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| separation anxiety | A child's apprehension or fear associated with removal from or loss of a parent or significant other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| separation anxiety disorder | A mental disorder occurring in childhood characterised by excessive anxiety when the child is separated from someone to whom the child is attached, usually a parent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| separation of retina | <ophthalmology> A painless disorder (when spontaneous) where the patient complains of a gradual raising or lowering of a curtain over the visual field of the affected eye. May also occur as the result of trauma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| separation of teeth | Loss of proximal contact of teeth, in orthodontics, the creation of interproximal spaces for the fitting of an appliance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sternochondral separation | Separation of the sternochondral articulation, especially of the 2nd to 7th ribs, which are true joints lined with synovial membranes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunomagnetic separation | A cell-separation technique where magnetizable microspheres or beads are first coated with monoclonal antibody, allowed to search and bind to target cells, and are then selectively removed when passed through a magnetic field. Among other applications, the technique is commonly used to remove tumour cells from the marrow of patients who are to undergo autologous bone marrow transplantation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| accelerated phase of leukaemia | Refers to chronic myelogenous leukaemia that is progressing. The number of immature, abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow and blood is higher than in the chronic phase, but not as high as in the blast phase. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acceleration phase | <cell biology, cell culture> A period of increasing growth before the log phase in a culture of microbes. After the culture is started on a medium, at first there is no growth (the lag phase) and then the microbes start to gradually grow (acceleration phase) until they reach a constant maximum rate of growth (log phase). (15 Jan 1998) |
| acute-phase protein | <haematology> These plasma proteins (in addition to fibrinogen) increase 25% or more in response to inflammation and injury are under direct control of interleukin-6 (IL-6) (hepatocyte-stimulating factor). Other proteins which increase are ceruloplasmin, C3 and C4 which increase 50% or more; alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, alpha-1 antitrypsin, haptoglobin and fibrinogen (the major determinant of viscosity 1 ) which increase two- to fourfold; C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A which increase several hundred-fold. Despite long-held clinical opinion to the contrary, available data indicate that neither ESR nor measurement of specific acute-phase reactants are useful in excluding underlying infection or inflammation regardless of the pretest probability. These proteins are secreted into the blood in increased or decreased quantities by hepatocytes in response to trauma, inflammation, or disease. They can serve as inhibitors or mediators of the inflammatory processes. Certain acute-phase proteins have been used to diagnose and follow the course of diseases or as tumour markers. See also: amyloid, c-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, viscosity. (25 Jun 1999) |
| acute-phase reaction | <immunology, rheumatology> Refers to the changes in synthesis of certain proteins within the serum during an inflammatory response, which provides rapid protection for the host against microorganisms via non-specific defense mechanisms. It consists of fever, an increase in inflammatory humoral factors, and an increased synthesis by hepatocytes of a number of proteins or glycoproteins usually found in the plasma; the reaction is mediated by endogenous pyrogens, the hypothalamus, adrenal hormones, and other factors.

| anal phase | In psychoanalytic personality theory, the stage of psychosexual development, occurring when a child is between 1 and 3 years, during which activities, interests, and concerns are centreed around the anal zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aqueous phase | The water portion of a system consisting of two liquid phase's, one mainly water, the other a liquid immiscible with water (e.g., benzene, ether). (05 Mar 2000) |
| blast phase | Refers to advanced chronic myelogenous leukaemia. In this phase, the number of immature, abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow and blood is extremely high. Also called blast crisis. (12 Dec 1998) |
