| medication, clot-dissolving | Drugs used to dissolve blood clots. Agents such as plasminogen-activator (t-pa) and streptokinase that are effective in dissolving clots and re-opening arteries. Used, for example, in the treatment of heart attacks. Clot-dissolvers are also called thrombolytic agents. (12 Dec 1998) |

| chicken fat clot | Clot formed in vitro or postmortem from leukocytes and plasma of sedimented blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clot | 1. To coagulate, said especially of blood. 2. A soft, nonrigid, insoluble mass formed when a liquid (e.g., blood or lymph) gels. Origin: O.E. Klott, lump (05 Mar 2000) |

| mucin clot test | A test that reflects the polymerization of synovial fluid hyaluronate; a few drops of synovial fluid added to acetic acid form a clot; poor clot formation occurs in a variety of inflammatory conditions including septic arthritis, gouty arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Synonym: Ropes test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postmortem clot | A clot formed in the heart or great vessels after death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| currant jelly clot | A jelly-like mass of red blood cells and fibrin formed by the in vitro or postmortem clotting of whole or sedimented blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schede's clot | Filling of the defect in bone, after removal of a sequestrum or scraping away carious material, by allowing the cavity to fill with blood which may become organised (Schede's clot). (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminated clot | A clot formed in a succession of layers such as occurs in the natural course of an aneurysm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| activated clotting time | The most common test used for coagulation time in cardiovascular surgery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| activated partial thromboplastin time | The time needed for plasma to form a fibrin clot following the addition of calcium and a phospholipid reagent; used to evaluate the intrinsic clotting system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| A-H conduction time | Forward conduction of the cardiac impulse from atria to ventricles via the A-V node or any bypass tract, represented in the electrocardiogram by the P-R interval. P-H conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 119 ± 38 msec); A-H conduction time is from the onset of the first high frequency component of the atrial electrogram to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 92 ± 38 msec); P-A conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the onset of the atrial electrogram (normally 27 ± 18 msec).

| association time | Time elasping between a stimulus and the verbalised response to it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biologic time | The concept that our appreciation of time varies with age and is governed by the neural organization of the individual; it obeys a logarithmic rather than an arithmetic law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bleeding time | <haematology> A test which measures the time it takes for small blood vessels to close off and bleeding to stop. Abnormal results can be seen in those with congenital or acquired platelet function disorders or thrombocytopenia. (27 Sep 1997) |
