| chromic phosphate P 32 colloidal suspension | A pure beta-emitting colloidal, nonabsorbable radiopharmaceutical administered into body cavities such as the pleural or peritoneal spaces to control malignant effusions. See: sodium phosphate P 32. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Coffey suspension | <procedure, surgery> An operative technique following partial excision of the cornu, as in salpingectomy, whereby the broad and the round ligament are sutured over the cornual wound to restore continuity of the peritoneum and to suspend the uterus on the operated side. (05 Mar 2000) |
| craniofacial suspension wiring | A method of wiring using areas of bones not contiguous with the oral cavity for the support of fractured jaw segments (e.g., pyriform aperture, zygomatic arch, zygomatic process of the frontal bone). (05 Mar 2000) |
| crystalline insulin zinc suspension | A long-acting insulin suspension, obtained from beef, with an approximate time of onset of 7 hours and a duration of action of 36 hours. Synonym: crystalline insulin zinc suspension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prompt insulin zinc suspension | Sterile suspension of insulin in buffered water for injection, modified by the addition of zinc chloride such that the solid phase of the suspension is amorphous; it contains 40 or 80 units per ml; the duration of action is equivalent to that of insulin injection. Synonym: amorphous insulin zinc suspension, semilente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sayre's suspension apparatus | Archaic term for Sayre's suspension traction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Sayre's suspension traction | Spinal traction obtained by vertical suspension of the patient by means of a head halter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hindlimb suspension | Technique for limiting use, activity, or movement by immobilizing or restraining animal by suspending from hindlimbs or tails. This immobilization is used to simulate some effects of reduced gravity and study weightlessness physiology. (12 Dec 1998) |
| suspension | 1. A condition of temporary cessation, as of animation, of pain or of any vital process. 2. <pharmacology> A preparation of a finely divided drug intended to be incorporated (suspended) in some suitable liquid vehicle before it is used or already incorporated in such a vehicle. Origin: L. Suspensio (18 Nov 1997) |
| suspension colloid | A colloidal solution in which the disperse particles are solid and lyophobe or hydrophobe, and are therefore sharply demarcated from the fluid in which they are suspended. Synonym: hydrophobic colloid, lyophobic colloid, suspension colloid. Origin: suspension + G. Eidos, resemblance (05 Mar 2000) |
| suspension stability | A very slow sedimentation rate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| insulin zinc suspension | A sterile buffered suspension with zinc chloride, containing 40 or 80 units per ml; the solid phase of the suspension consists of a mixture of 7 parts of crystalline insulin and 3 parts of amorphous insulin. Synonym: lente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extended insulin zinc suspension | A long-acting insulin suspension, obtained from beef, with an approximate time of onset of 7 hours and a duration of action of 36 hours. Synonym: crystalline insulin zinc suspension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas-liquid chromatography | <technique> A chemistry lab technique, a type of column chromatography, used to separate the components of a mixed substance. The substance is held stationary by an inert solid coated with an inert liquid which is not likely to evaporate (i.e. Is nonvolatile), while a gas (called an eluant) flows past it bringing out the components one at a time. (09 Oct 1997) |
| chromatography, high pressure liquid | Liquid chromatographic techniques which feature high inlet pressures, high sensitivity, and high speed. (12 Dec 1998) |
