| sickness impact profile | A quality-of-life scale developed in the united states in 1972 as a measure of health status or dysfunction generated by a disease. It is a behaviourally based questionnaire for patients and addresses activities such as sleep and rest, mobility, recreation, home management, emotional behaviour, social interaction, and the like. It measures the patient's perceived health status and is sensitive enough to detect changes or differences in health status occurring over time or between groups. (12 Dec 1998) |
| soil profile | A vertical section of the soil through all its horizons and extending into the parent material. (09 Oct 1997) |
| test profile | A combination of laboratory tests usually performed by automated methods and designed to evaluate organ systems of patients upon admission to a hospital or clinic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermal melting profile | In general a record of the phase state of a system over a temperature range. Phase changes can be detected by exothermy or endothermy. Valuable in studying lipid and DNA structures. (18 Nov 1997) |
| electrolyte profile | <biochemistry> A test which includes the measurement of the sodium, potassium, C02 and chloride concentrations in venous blood. (27 Sep 1997) |
| elution profile | <chemistry> A graph made to show how much material is being carried out of the column by the eluant in column chromatography over time. The graph will show a number of different peaks, each peak represents a different separated material from the original mixed substance. (09 Oct 1997) |
| facial profile | The outline form of the face from a lateral view, the sagittal outline form of the face. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kidney profile | <investigation> A test which includes the measurement of the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and the creatinine in a venous specimen. This test allows the physician to make a determination of how effectively the kidneys are functioning. (27 Sep 1997) |
| urethral pressure profile | The continual recording of pressure through a hole in the side of a small catheter as it is pulled (at a constant rate while either water or a gas is infused through the hole) from a point within the bladder, through the vesical neck, and down the entire urethra; a form of resistance measurement which gives a tracing indicative of the functional length of the urethra and the points of maximal urethral resistance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipid profile | Pattern of lipids in the blood. (A lipid profile usually includes the total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (hdl) cholesterol, triglycerides, and the calculated low density lipoprotein (ldl) cholesterol. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver profile | <investigation> A test that measures the blood serum level of several enzymes produced by the liver. An elevated liver function test is a sign of possible liver damage. Examples include: prothrombin time, PTT, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase and serum albumin.

| Lovibond's profile sign | The angle made at the meeting of the proximal nail fold and the nail plate when viewed from the radial aspect; normally, less than 180 |
