| AIF | anemia-inducing factor; anti-inflammatory; anti-invasion factor |
| anti-PNM Ab | anti-peripheral nerve myelin antibody |
| anti-dyskinesia agents | Drugs used in the treatment of movement disorders. most of these act centrally on dopaminergic or cholinergic systems. Among the most important clinically are those used for the treatment of parkinson disease (antiparkinson agents) and those for the tardive dyskinesias. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| anti-G | In the strict sense, a term that means "antigravity" but, as commonly used, an adjectival term that implies protection against the effects of gravity (e.g., anti-G suit). (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-glomerular basement membrane disease | Glomerulonephritis, usually of a generalised proliferative crescent-forming histologic type with a rapidly progressive course, marked by circulating anti-gbm antibodies and linear deposits of immunoglobulin and complement along the glomerular basement membrane. When associated with pulmonary haemorrhage the condition is called goodpasture syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anti-G suit | A garment with bladders that expand to apply external pressure to the abdomen and lower extremities during positive G manoeuvres in flight or on a human centrifuge; the anti-G suit is worn to prevent the pooling of blood and serves to increase the wearer's ability to withstand exposure to higher G forces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-HBc | Antibody to the hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-HBe | Antibody to the hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-HBs | Antibody to the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-HIV agents | Agents used to treat aids and/or stop the spread of the HIV infection. These do not include drugs used to treat symptoms or opportunistic infections associated with aids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anti-icteric | <pharmacology> A remedy for jaundice. Rarely used term for preventing or curing icterus (jaundice). (20 Jun 2000) |
| anti-idiotype antibody | <immunology> An antibody directed against the antigen specific part of the sequence of an antibody or T-cell receptor and thus recognise the binding sites of other antibodies. In principle an anti-idiotype antibody should inhibit a specific immune response and they are important to the regulation of the immune system. (13 Nov 1997) |
| anti-idiotype autoantibody | <immunology> An autoantibody, the specificity of which is directed against one of one's own idiotypes. See: anti-idiotype antibody. Synonym: idiotype autoantibody. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-infective | <pharmacology> Substances capable of killing infectious agents or of preventing them from spreading and causing infection. (20 Jun 2000) |
| anti-infective agents, local | Substances used on humans and other animals that destroy harmful microorganisms or inhibit their activity. They are distinguished from disinfectants, which are used on inanimate objects. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anti-infective agents, quinolone | A group of synthetic antimicrobial agents which usually contain a 4-quinolinone ring structure. A few compounds belonging to this group have related nitrogen heterocyclic ring structures such as naphthyridine or phthalazine groups. All compounds in this group are substituted with an oxo group at the 4-position. The second-generation quinolones are also substituted with a 1-piperazinyl group at the 7-position and a fluorine moiety at the 6-position. The quinolones inhibit the a subunit of DNA gyrase and thus interfere with the ability of the enzyme to repair bacterial DNA breaks during replication. The compounds have a broad spectrum of activity against a variety of aerobic bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anti-infective agents, urinary | Substances capable of killing agents causing urinary tract infections or of preventing them from spreading. (12 Dec 1998) |
