| anaesthetics, local | Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fibre. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anaesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. Nearly all local anaesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate. They are commonly used not only in the peripheral nervous system, but also for spinal anaesthesia. The many drugs that have local anaesthetic actions as a side effect but are not used for their local anaesthetic action are not included here. (12 Dec 1998) |

| 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) |
| basal body temperature | <biology> The temperature taken at its lowest point in the day, usually in the morning before getting out of bed. (09 Oct 1997) |
| body temperature changes | Any deviation from normal body temperature of the human body, about 98.6 degrees f. Or 37 degrees c. When taken orally. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maximum temperature | In bacteriology, denoting a temperature above which growth will not take place. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean temperature | The average atmospheric temperature in any locality for a designated period of time, as a month or a year. (05 Mar 2000) |
| restrictive temperature | <molecular biology> Of a temperature sensitive mutation, a temperature at which the mutated gene product behaves normally and so the cell or organism survives as if wild type. C.f. The restrictive temperature, at which the gene product takes on a mutant phenotype. (18 Nov 1997) |
| melting temperature | The midpoint in the change in optical properties (absorbance, rotation) of a structured polymer (e.g., DNA) with increasing temperature. Synonym: melting temperature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| melting temperature of DNA | That temperature at which, under a given set of conditions, double-stranded DNA is changed (50%) to single-stranded DNA; under standard conditions, the base composition of the DNA can be estimated from the denaturation temperature, since the greater the denaturation temperature, the greater the guanine-plus-cytosine content (i.e., GC content) of the DNA. Synonym: melting temperature of DNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| permissive temperature | <molecular biology> Of a temperature sensitive mutation, a temperature at which the mutated gene product behaves normally and so the cell or organism survives as if wild type. C.f. The restrictive temperature, at which the gene product takes on a mutant phenotype. (18 Nov 1997) |
| room temperature | The ordinary temperature (65 |
| minimum temperature | In bacteriology, denoting a temperature below which growth will not take place. (05 Mar 2000) |
| critical temperature | The temperature of a gas above which it is no longer possible by use of any pressure, however great, to convert it into a liquid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensible temperature | The atmospheric temperature as felt by the individual, supposed to be that recorded by the wet-bulb thermometer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| standard temperature | A temperature of 0캜 or 273.15 |
