|---|---|
| counterirritation | Irritation or mild inflammation (redness, vesication, or pustulation) of the skin excited for the purpose of relieving symptoms of an inflammation of the deeper structures. Synonym: revulsion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| counteropening | A second opening made at the dependent part of an abscess or other cavity containing fluid, which is not draining satisfactorily through an opening previously made. Synonym: contra-aperture, counterpuncture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| counterphobic | 1. Denoting a state of actual preference, on the part of a phobic person, for the very situation of which he is afraid. 2. Opposed to the phobic impulse, as in counterphobic mastery of a feared action by repeated engagement in the action. (05 Mar 2000) |
| counterpulsation | A technique for assisting the circulation by decreasing the afterload of the left ventricle and augmenting the diastolic pressure. It may be achieved by intra-aortic balloon, or by implanting a special pumping device in the chest, or externally by applying a negative pressure to the lower extremities during cardiac systole. (12 Dec 1998) |
| counterpuncture | A second opening made at the dependent part of an abscess or other cavity containing fluid, which is not draining satisfactorily through an opening previously made. Synonym: contra-aperture, counterpuncture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| countershock | An electric shock applied to the heart to terminate a disturbance of its rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| counterstain | <technique> Rather non-specific stain used in conjunction with another histochemical reagent of greater specificity to provide contrast and reveal more of the general structure of the tissue. Light Green is used as a counterstain in the Mallory procedure, for example. (18 Nov 1997) |
| counterstimulation | <procedure> Application of moderate to intense sensory stimulation, such as with cold, heat, rubbing, pressure or electrical current, so as to decrease perception of pain at the same or a distant site. (16 Dec 1997) |
| countertraction | The resistance, or back-pull, made to traction or pulling on a limb; e.g., in the case of traction made on the leg, countertraction may be effected by raising the foot of the bed so that the weight of the body pulls against the weight attached to the limb. Synonym: counterextension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| countertransference | <psychology> The psychiatrist's conscious or unconscious emotional reaction to his patient. (12 Dec 1998) |
| countertransport | The transport of one substance across a membrane, coupled with the simultaneous transport of another substance across the same membrane in the opposite direction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reticulocyte count | Determination of the number of reticulocytes in a measured volume of blood. Values for reticulocytes are expressed as a percentage of the erythrocyte count or in the form of a so-called "corrected" reticulocyte "index". An increase in circulating reticulocytes, often referred to as reticulocytosis, is among the simplest and most reliable signs of accelerated erythrocyte production. Reticulocytosis, or an increased reticulocyte count, occurs during active blood regeneration (stimulation of red bone marrow) and in certain anaemias, particularly congenital haemolytic anaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| colony count, microbial | Enumeration by direct count of viable, isolated bacterial or fungal cells or spores capable of growth on solid culture media. Each colony (i.e., microbial colony-forming unit) represents the progeny of a single cell in the original inoculum. The method is used routinely by environmental microbiologists for quantifying organisms in air, food, and water; by clinicians for measuring patients' microbial load; and in antimicrobial drug testing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| white blood cell count | <haematology> A laboratory test which measures the number of white blood cells per cubic millimetre of blood. Normal white blood cell counts are variable with age and sex. Normal adult range is 4, 500 to 11,000 cells per cubic millimetre of blood. Slightly higher counts are seen in children. Elevated counts can be seen in cases of inflammation and infection. (13 Nov 1997) |
| complete blood count | <haematology, investigation> The number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are present in the patients sample of blood is determined. most common test done on the blood. Acronym: CBC Synonym: full blood count. (16 Mar 1998) |
| platelet count | <haematology> The number of platelets per cubic millimetre of blood. The normal range is 150,000-400,000 platelets per cubic mm. Platelet counts under 10,000 per cubic millimetre place the patient at risk for spontaneous haemorrhage. Platelets are produced in the bone marrow in increased quantities in response to stress. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Schilling's blood count | A method of counting blood in which the polymorphonuclear neutrophils are separated into four groups according to the number and arrangement of the nuclear masses in these cells. Synonym: Schilling's index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sperm count | The number of sperm in the ejaculate (when given as the number of sperm per millileter it is more accurately known as the sperm concentration or sperm density). (09 Oct 1997) |
| differential white blood count | An estimate of the percentage of white blood cell types which make up the total white blood cell count. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total cell count | Number of cells in a given area or volume. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eosinophil count | A measurement (cells per microlitre) of the number of eosinophils in a blood specimen. This measurement, also called the absolute eosinophil count, is useful in the evaluation of autoimmune disease, allergies, eczema, leukaemia, asthma and hay fever. Normal absolute eosinophil counts are less than 350 cells/mcl (microlitre). (27 Sep 1997) |
| epidermal ridge count | An index of the frequency of sweat pores on the fingertips by enumeration along a set of arbitrarily defined lines; a classic example of a galtonian trait determined almost exclusively by genetic factors. (05 Mar 2000) |
| erythrocyte count | A count of the number of red blood cells per unit volume in a sample of venous blood. (12 Dec 1998) |
| filament-nonfilament count | A differential count of the number of neutrophils showing nuclear division and those showing no such division. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Full Blood Count | <haematology, investigation> The determination of the proper number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are present in the patients blood. Acronym: FBC (16 Dec 1997) |
| leukocyte count | A white blood cell (WBC) count. (12 Dec 1998) |
