| hot nodule | A thyroid nodule with a much higher uptake of radioactive iodine than the surrounding parenchyma; usually benign but sometimes causing hyperthyroidism. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| hot pack | A pack of cloth or other material soaked in hot water, or producing moist heat by another means. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hot salt steriliser | A steriliser for endodontic equipment in which table salt is heated in a container at 218 to 246캜; the dry heat is transmitted to root canal instruments, absorbent points, or cotton pellets for their rapid (5 to 10 seconds) sterilization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hot-short | <chemistry> More or less brittle when heated; as, hot-short iron. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| hot spleen | <radiology> Decreased liver uptake, liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis), shunting of portal venous blood, increased splenic uptake, haematopoietic disease, septicaemia, rheumatoid disorders, immunostimulation (tumour, Aldomet, IL-2) see: liver-spleen scan (12 Dec 1998) |
| hot spot | <molecular biology> A particular area of DNA which is especially prone to spontaneous mutations or recombinations. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hot thyroid nodule | <radiology> Almost always hyperfunctioning adenoma, vast majority benign, up to 50% are autonomous see also: thyroid carcinoma, cold thyroid nodule (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| chromatography, liquid | Chromatographic techniques in which the mobile phase is a liquid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| clear liquid diet | A diet, often used postoperatively, consisting usually of water, tea, coffee, gelatin preparations, and clear soups or broth. (05 Mar 2000) |

| heavy liquid petrolatum | <chemical> A mixture of liquid hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. It is used as laxative, lubricant, ointment base, and emollient. Pharmacological action: cathartic, emollients, ointment bases. Chemical name: Hydrocarbon oils (12 Dec 1998) |
| high-performance liquid chromatography | <investigation> A lab technique, a type of column chromatography, which uses a combination of several separation techniques to separate substances at higher resolution. Extremely sharp peaks on the elution profile can be produced with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). (09 Oct 1997) |
| high-pressure liquid chromatography | <investigation> A lab technique, a type of column chromatography, which uses a combination of several separation techniques to separate substances at higher resolution.
