| cyclic strabismus | A strabismus that appears and disappears in rhythym, most frequently at 48-hour intervals. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| X-strabismus | Strabismus in which exotropia is more marked when looking upward or downward than when looking straight ahead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| strabismus | <clinical sign> A deviation of the eye which the patient cannot overcome. The visual axes assume a position relative to each other different from that required by the physiological conditions. The various forms of strabismus are spoken of as tropias, their direction being indicated by the appropriate prefix, as cyclo tropia, esotropia, exotropia, hypertropia and hypotropia. Also called cast, heterotropia, manifest deviation and squint. Origin: Gr. Strabismos = a squinting (18 Nov 1997) |
| strabismus deorsum vergens | An obsolete term for vertical strabismus in which the visual axis of one eye deviates downward. (05 Mar 2000) |
| strabismus sursum vergens | An obsolete term for a vertical strabismus in which the visual axis of one eye deviates upward. (05 Mar 2000) |
| divergent strabismus | <clinical sign> The outward or temporal deviation of an eye. (27 Sep 1997) |
| incomitant strabismus | Strabismus due to weakness of an ocular muscle or muscles. Synonym: incomitant strabismus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal strabismus | An obsolete term for esotropia (05 Mar 2000) |
| external strabismus | An obsolete term for exotropia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kinetic strabismus | Strabismus due to spasm of an extraocular muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acid dissociation constant | <chemistry> This is the equilibrium constant for the breaking apart of a weak acid into its hydrogen and conjugate base in a water solution. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Ambard's constant | <physiology> Obsolete law's for output of urea: 1. With the urinary urea concentration constant, urea output varies directly as the square of the concentration of the blood urea. 2. With the blood urea concentration constant, urea output varies inversely as the square root of its urinary concentration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| association constant | <chemistry> Reciprocal of dissociation constant. A measure of the extent of a reversible association between two molecular species at equilibrium. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Avogadro's constant | <physics> The number of molecules in a mole (gram molecular weight) of a substance, equals 6.02 x 1023 molecules. (09 Oct 1997) |
| base dissociation constant | <chemistry> This is the equilibrium constant for the reaction in which a weak base breaks apart in water to form its conjugate acid and hydroxide ion. (09 Oct 1997) |
