| correxonuclease | <enzyme> Hydrolyzes single-str&ed DNA; initiates hydrolysis at both 3' and 5' termini of such DNA, yielding 5'-phosphorylated oligonucleotides averaging 4 nucleotides; can excise pyrimidine dimers which are adjacent to the break Registry number: EC 3.1.4.- Synonym: DNA repair exonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
| corridor disease | A highly pathogenic disease of cape buffaloes (Syncerus caffer) and cattle in eastern and southern Africa caused by the protozoan Theileria parva lawrencei and transmitted primarily by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus; lesions and symptoms are similar to those of East Coast fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Corrigan's disease | A congenital or acquired heart valve abnormality that results in the abnormal back flow of blood in the aorta, through an incompetent aortic valve and into the left ventricle. Chronic aortic insufficiency leads to enlargement of the left ventricle and pulmonary congestion. If left uncorrected, congestive heart failure will result. Aortic valve replacement is eventually necessary in most cases of significant valvular incompetence. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Corrigan's pulse | <clinical sign> A full hard pulse followed by a sudden collapse easily palpated and occurring in aortic regurgitation. Synonym: Corrigan's pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Corrigan's sign | <clinical sign> A full hard pulse followed by a sudden collapse easily palpated and occurring in aortic regurgitation. Synonym: Corrigan's pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |

| corrigent | 1. Counteracting, modifying, or changing what is injurious. 2. A drug that modifies or corrects an undesirable or injurious effect of another drug. Synonym: corrigent. Origin: L. Cor-rigo (conr-), pp. -rectus, to set right, fr. Rego, to keep straight (05 Mar 2000) |
| corrin | The cyclic system of four pyrrole rings forming corrinoids, which are the central structure of the vitamins B12 and related compounds, differing from porphin (porphyrin) in that two of the pyrrole rings are directly linked (C-19 to C-1). Origin: fr. Core (of vitamin B12 molecule) (05 Mar 2000) |

| corrosion | <chemistry> Chemical process that results in reduction of the structural integrity of the material being corroded. The process might include chemical interactions between a fluid, (such as lithium or water coolant) and the containing material (such as stainless steel), which would result in wall material dissolving into the fluid, and possibly degradation of the mechanical properties of the containing structure. (13 Nov 1997) |
| corrosion casting | A tissue preparation technique that involves the injecting of plastic (acrylates) into blood vessels or other hollow viscera and treating the tissue with a caustic substance. This results in a negative copy or a solid replica of the enclosed space of the tissue that is ready for viewing under a scanning electron microscope. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corrosion of tissue | This is the destruction of tissue by a substance (such as a strong acid or base) on direct contact. (09 Oct 1997) |
| corrosive | <chemistry> Refers to any substance that oxidizes metal or flesh, in a chemical labeling context, it specificially refers to a highly reactive substance that causes obvious damage to living tissue. (09 Oct 1997) |
