| POMS | Profile of Mood States |
|---|---|
| CNV | choroidal neovascularization; contingent negative variation; cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis |
| CV | cardiac volume; cardiovascular; carotenoid vesicle; cell volume; central venous; cephalic vein; cere... |
| NV | nausea and vomiting; negative variation; neovascularization; next visit; nonveteran; normal value; n... |
| PINV | postimperative negative variation |
| contingent negative variation | An increasing negative shift of the cortical electrical potentials associated with an anticipated response to an expected stimulus. It is an electrical event indicative of a state of readiness or expectancy. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| somaclonal variation | The variation between individuals in a clone, particularly in plant clones. While the objective is usually to grow clones without variation, somaclonal variation does provide the opportunity to generate new plant types that would be harder or impossible to generate by conventional plant breeding. (14 Nov 1997) |
| irritable mood | Abnormal or excessive excitability with easily triggered anger, annoyance, or impatience. (12 Dec 1998) |
| isotypic variation | <immunology> Variability of antigens common to all members of a species, for example the five classes of immunoglobulins found in humans. See: idiotype and allotype. (18 Nov 1997) |
| observer variation | The failure by the observer to measure or identify a phenomenon accurately, which results in an error. Sources for this may be due to the observer's missing an abnormality, or to faulty technique resulting in incorrect test measurement, or to misinterpretation of the data. Two varieties are inter-observer variation (the amount observers vary from one another when reporting on the same material) and intra-observer variation (the amount one observer varies between observations when reporting more than once on the same material). (12 Dec 1998) |
| organic mood syndrome | <syndrome> Syndrome attributed to an organic factor characterised by either depressive or manic mood. See: bipolar disorder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| familial bipolar mood disorder | <psychiatry> Bipolar mood disorder commonly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and also occasionally as an X-linked one. (05 Mar 2000) |
