| spike and wave complex | A generalised, synchronous pattern seen on the electroencephalogram, consisting of a sharply contoured fast wave followed by a slow wave; particularly found in patients with generalised epilepsies. Spike and wave complexes are often characterised by their frequency, e.g., s low spike and wave, fast spike and wave. (05 Mar 2000) |

| neoplasms, complex and mixed | Neoplasms composed of more than one type of neoplastic tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nitrogenase complex | <biochemistry> A system of enzymes used by nitrogen-fixing ATP is present. (09 Oct 1997) |
| sucrase-isomaltase complex | <enzyme> An enzyme complex found in the brush border membranes of the small intestine. It is believed to be an enzyme complex with different catalytic sites. Its absence is manifested by an inherited disease called sucrase-isomaltase deficiency. Registry number: EC 3.2.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| superiority complex | Term sometimes given to the compensatory behaviour, e.g., aggressiveness, self-assertion, associated with inferiority complex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synaptinemal complex | A submicroscopic structure interposed between the homologous chromosome pairs during synapsis. Synonym: synaptonemal complex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synaptonemal complex | <cell biology> Structure, identified by electron microscopy, lying between chromosomes during synapsis, consists of two lateral plates closely apposed to the chromosomes and connected to a central plate by filaments. It appears to act as a scaffold and is essential for crossing over. (18 Nov 1997) |

| iron-dextran complex | <chemical> Iron dextran. A complex of ferric oxyhydroxide with dextrans of 5000 to 7000 daltons in a viscous solution containing 50 mg/ml of iron. It is supplied as a parenteral preparation and is used as a haematinic. (goodman and gilman's the pharmacological basis of therapeutics, 8th ed, p1292) Pharmacological action: haematinics.
