| reflex, abnormal | Abnormal, involuntary response to a stimulus which includes hyperreflexia, hyporeflexia, and areflexia. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| cellular immunodeficiency with abnormal immunoglobulin synthesis | An ill-defined group of sporadic disorders of unknown cause, occurring in both males and females and associated with recurrent bacterial, fungal, protozoal, and viral infections; there is thymic hypoplasia with depressed cellular (T-lymphocyte) immunity combined with defective humoral (B-lymphocyte) immunity, although immunoglobulin levels may be normal. Synonym: Nezelof syndrome, Nezelof type of thymic alymphoplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemoglobins, abnormal | Haemoglobins altered in their genetically determined molecular structure, resulting in a characteristic complex of vlinival and laboratory abnormalities. The specific features of the abnormal haemoglobins are related to variation of the composite globin polypeptide chains. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pupillary functions, abnormal | Conditions in which the pupil does not react normally to dilation and constriction. Signs of pupillary abnormalities originate from the pupil's shape, position, and response to stimulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrinogens, abnormal | Fibrinogens which have a functional defect as the result of one or more amino acid substitutions in the amino acid sequence of normal fibrinogen. Abnormalities of the fibrinogen molecule may impair any of the major steps involved in the conversion of fibrinogen into stabilised fibrin, such as cleavage of the fibrinopeptides by thrombin, polymerization and cross-linking of fibrin. The resulting dysfibrinogenaemias can be clinically silent or can be associated with bleeding, thrombosis or defective wound healing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auditory localization | In sensory psychology, the naming or pointing to directions from which sounds emanate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiotherapy localization | Planning the size and alignment of radiation beams to encompass the neoplasm to be treated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| germinal localization | Determination in very young embryos of the presumptive areas for specific organs or structures. Synonym: fate map. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral localization | The mapping of the cerebral cortex into areas and the correlation of the various areas with cerebral function, or determining the site of a brain lesion, based on the signs and symptoms manifested by the patient or by neuroimaging. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sound localization | Ability to determine the specific location of a sound source. (12 Dec 1998) |
| spatial localization | The reference of a visual sensation to a definite locality in space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stereotaxic localization | Localization of intracerebral nuclei by coordinates with reference to anatomical landmarks in the brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nuclear localization signal | Short, predominantly basic amino acid sequences identified as nuclear import signals for some proteins. These sequences are believed to interact with specific receptors at nuclear pores. (12 Dec 1998) |
| law of average localization | Visceral pain is most accurately localised in the least mobile viscera and least accurately in the most mobile. (05 Mar 2000) |
| localization | Act of localising, or state of being localised. <physiology> Cerebral localization, the localization of the control of special functions, as of sight or of the various movements of the body, in special regions of the brain.
