| gas cyst | A cyst with gaseous instead of the ordinary liquid or pultaceous contents. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| gas embolism | <physiology> A serious condition that results when air (in the form of bubbles) invades the blood vessels causing disruption of normal blood flow. (06 Aug 1998) |
| gas engine | A piston engine that uses gaseous fuel rather than gasoline. Fuel and air are mixed before they enter cylinders; ignition occurs with a spark. (05 Dec 1998) |
| gas gangrene | <microbiology> A severe form of gangrene (tissue necrosis) caused by Clostridium infection. Also referred to as necrotising subcutaneous infection. Results in death of the subcutaneous tissues and muscle layers. See: necrotising fascitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| gas gangrene antitoxin | Antitoxin specific for the toxin of one or more species of Clostridium that cause gaseous gangrene and associated toxaemia, especially C. Perfringens C. Novyi, C. Histolyticum, and commercially available preparations are usually polyvalent, i.e., contain antitoxin for two or more species. Synonym: pentavalent gas gangrene antitoxin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas, intestinal | The complaint referred to as intestinal gas is a common one and the discomfort can be quite significant. Everyone has gas and eliminates it by burping or passing it through the rectum. In many instances people think they have too much gas when in reality they have normal amounts. most people produce 1 to 3 pints of intestinal gas in 24 hours and pass gas an average of 14 times a day. It is made up primarily of odourless vapors such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and in some families, methane. The unpleasant odour is due to bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases containing sulfur. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gas-liquid chromatography | <technique> A chemistry lab technique, a type of column chromatography, used to separate the components of a mixed substance. The substance is held stationary by an inert solid coated with an inert liquid which is not likely to evaporate (i.e. Is nonvolatile), while a gas (called an eluant) flows past it bringing out the components one at a time. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gas peritonitis | Inflammation of the peritoneum accompanied by an intraperitoneal accumulation of gas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas phlegmon | <microbiology> A severe form of gangrene (tissue necrosis) caused by Clostridium infection. Also referred to as necrotising subcutaneous infection. Results in death of the subcutaneous tissues and muscle layers. See: necrotising fascitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| gas retinopexy | A retinal detachment repair in which the retina is held in place by an expandable gas. Synonym: pneumatic retinopexy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas scavengers | Apparatus for removing exhaled or leaked anaesthetic gases or other volatile agents, thus reducing the exposure of operating room personnel to such agents, as well as preventing the buildup of potentially explosive mixtures in operating rooms or laboratories. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gas shift process | A process in which carbon monoxide and hydrogen react in the presence of a catalyst to form methane and water. (05 Dec 1998) |
| gas thermometer | A thermometer filled with dry air or a gas, the expansion or increased pressure of which indicates the degree of heat; used to measure high temperatures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gas turbine | (combustion turbine) A turbine that converts the energy of hot compressed gases (produced by burning fuel in compressed air) into mechanical power. Often fired by natural gas or fuel oil. (05 Dec 1998) |
| gas vacuole | A prokaryotic cellular organelle consisting of cylindrical vesicles around 75 x 300nm, often in clusters. The wall of the gas vacuole, which is permeable to gases but not to water, is formed from a monolayer of a single protein. Gas vacuoles are found mainly in planktonic cyanobacteria and their prime function is to make the bacterium buoyant. (18 Nov 1997) |
