| specific dynamic action | The increase of heat production caused by the ingestion of food, especially of protein. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| delayed-action preparations | Dosage forms of a drug that act over a period of time. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thermogenic action | Increase of heat production of the body, as by the thyroid hormone. Synonym: thermogenic action. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of mass action | <chemistry> This law states that the rate of a given chemical reaction is proportional to concentration of the reactants. (09 Oct 1997) |
| alcoholic withdrawal tremor | Intention tremor present in the withdrawal period of one of two types: 1) a tremor of greater than 8 Hz, with continuous antagonistic muscle activity, and 2) a tremor of less than 8 Hz, with intermittent spontaneous antagonistic muscle activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alternating tremor | A form of hyperkinesia characterised by regular, symmetrical, to-and-fro movements (at about 4 per second) that are produced by patterned, alternating contraction of muscles and their antagonists. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alternative tremor | A coarse, low frequency (3-8 Hz) pathologic tremor produced by alternating contraction of muscles and their antagonists; seen with Parkinson disease and kinetic predominant action tremor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arsenical tremor | A tremor caused by chronic poisoning by arsenic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ataxic tremor | <neurology> A tremor which arises or which is intensified when a voluntary, coordinated movement is attempted. (18 Nov 1997) |
| benign essential tremor | A benign tremor inherited as a dominant character; it may be a rapid oscillation resembling that seen in thyrotoxicosis, a coarse tremor during rest and inhibited by a voluntary effort, or one which appears only upon movement. Synonym: benign essential tremor, familial tremor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| passive tremor | A coarse, rhythmic tremor, 3-5 Hz frequency, usually confined to hands and forearms, that appears when the limbs are relaxed, and disappears with active limb movements; characteristic of Parkinson disease. Synonym: passive tremor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volitional tremor | A tremor that can be arrested by a strong effort of the will. Synonym: intention tremor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resting tremor | A coarse, rhythmic tremor, 3-5 Hz frequency, usually confined to hands and forearms, that appears when the limbs are relaxed, and disappears with active limb movements; characteristic of Parkinson disease. Synonym: passive tremor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mercurial tremor | A tremor caused by chronic mercury poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metallic tremor | A tremor caused by poisoning with metal. (05 Mar 2000) |
