| glycosylated haemoglobin test | <investigation> A blood test that measures a person's average blood glucose (sugar) level for the 2- to 3-month period before the test. See: haemoglobin A1C. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Gmelin's test | A test for bile in the urine or other body fluid; nitric acid, with a little nitrous acid, is cautiously added to a few milliliters of the material to be tested; if bile (bilirubin) is present, it is oxidised to varying degrees, thereby resulting in disklike zones that are (from the interface outward) yellow, red, violet, blue, and green; development of green and violet layers is essential to the validity of the test. Synonym: Rosenbach-Gmelin test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pentagastrin test | An alternative to histamine for stimulation of acid secretion in gastric analysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gofman test | A test for various serum lipoproteins that contain cholesterol, as an index of the tendency to the development of atheromatous lesions and arteriosclerosis; the test is based on the differential flotation of molecules of various sizes when the serum is treated in an ultracentrifuge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Meltzer-Lyon test | A test used in diagnosis of gallbladder conditions: 25 ml of a 25% solution of magnesium sulfate are delivered into the region of the sphincter of Oddi through a duodenal tube, causing contraction of the gallbladder, relaxation of the sphincter, and the expulsion of bile from the common duct and gallbladder; bile from the common duct is relatively pale and is expelled first, that from the gallbladder follows; samples aspirated from the tube are examined for pus cells, pigment granules, epithelial cells, cholesterol, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Goldscheider's test | Determination of the temperature sense by touching the skin with a sharp-pointed metallic rod, heated to varying degrees. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gold sol test | An obsolete, non-specific test for altered proteins in spinal fluid. As originally used by Lange in 1912, the test was thought to be specific for neurosyphilis; however, this proved to be incorrect. Dilutions of spinal fluid are made in saline and to these a colloidal gold solution is added; if altered proteins are present, there is a colour change or precipitate formed. at present, its chief use is to demonstrate cerebrospinal fluid protein abnormalities in multiple sclerosis. Synonym: gold sol test, Zsigmondy's test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| CF test | <immunology> Binding of complement as a result of its interaction with immune complexes (the classical pathway) or particular surfaces (alternative pathway). (18 Nov 1997) |
| Goodenough draw-alpha-man test | A brief test for assessing an individual's level of intelligence based on how accurately drawn and how many elements are included when a child or adult is given a pencil and sheet of white paper and asked to draw a man, the best man he or she is able to draw. Also called the Goodenough draw-alpha-person test and, in its current form, the Goodenough-Harris drawing test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| goodness of fit test | A statistical test of the hypothesis that data have been randomly sampled or generated from a population that follows a particular theoretical distribution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Reuss' test | A test for atropine; the addition of oxidizing agents and sulfuric acid to a liquid containing atropine produces an odour of orange-flowers and roses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| performance test | A test, such as five of the eleven Wechsler adult intelligence scale subtests, requiring little or no verbal instruction from the examiner and virtually no verbal response by the examinee. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gothlin's test | <investigation> A capillary fragility test to determine the presence or absence of scurvy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rh blocking test | A test for nonagglutinating Rh antibodies: an Rh agglutination test is first carried out; if the test for Rh agglutinins is negative, then 1 drop of anti-Rho agglutinating serum of moderate titre is mixed with the patient's serum containing Rh-positive test cells; if after incubating for from 1 to 2 hr at 37캜 no agglutination occurs, Rho-blocking antibodies are assumed to be present in the patient's serum.
