| immunologic factors | Biologically active substances whose activities affect or play a role in the functioning of the immune system. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| immunologic high dose tolerance | Induction of tolerance by exposure to large amounts of protein antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunologic memory | <immunology> The ability to rapidly produce large quantities of specific immune cells after subsequent exposure to a previously encountered antigen. (09 Oct 1997) |
| immunologic pregnancy test | A general term for test's for detection of increased human chorionic gonadotropin in plasma or urine by immunologic techniques including latex particle agglutination, haemagglutination inhibition, radioimmunoassay, and radioreceptor assays. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunologic surveillance | The theory that T-cells monitor cell surfaces and detect structural changes in the plasma membrane and/or surface antigens of virally or neoplastically transformed cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic tests | Diagnostic techniques involving the demonstration or measurement of an immune response, including antibody production or assay, antigen-antibody reactions, serologic cross-reactivity, delayed hypersensitivity reactions, or heterogenetic responses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunologic tolerance | Lack of immune response to antigen. Theories of tolerance induction include clonal deletion and clonal anergy. In clonal deletion, the actual clone of cells is eliminated whereas in clonal anergy the cells are present but nonfunctional. Synonym: immunological tolerance, immunotolerance, nonresponder tolerance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute ascending paralysis | A paralysis of rapid course beginning in the legs and involving progressively the trunk, arms, and neck, ending sometimes in death in from one to three weeks. Synonym: ascending paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute atrophic paralysis | Inflammation of the anterior cornua of the spinal cord; an acute infectious disease caused by the poliomyelitis virus and marked by fever, pains, and gastroenteric disturbances, followed by a flaccid paralysis of one or more muscular groups, and later by atrophy. Synonym: acute atrophic paralysis, myogenic paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending paralysis | A paralysis of rapid course beginning in the legs and involving progressively the trunk, arms, and neck, ending sometimes in death in from one to three weeks. Synonym: ascending paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending tick paralysis | <neurology> An ascending paralysis caused by the continued presence of Dermacentor and Ixodes ticks attached to the occipital or upper neck region in humans. The treatment consists of tick removal and supportive care. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Brown-Sequard's paralysis | <neurology, syndrome> A type of spinal cord lesion that is characterised by hemiparaplegia and hyperesthesia, but with loss of motor function on the same side as the lesion and hemianaesthesia on the opposite side. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bulbar paralysis | Progressive weakness and atrophy of the muscles of the tongue, lips, palate, pharynx, and larynx, usually occurring in later life; most often caused by motor neuron disease. Synonym: bulbar palsy, bulbar paralysis, Duchenne's disease, Erb disease, glossolabiolaryngeal paralysis, glossolabiopharyngeal paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vasomotor paralysis | A mild degree of vasoparalysis. Synonym: angioparesis, vasomotor paralysis. Origin: vaso-+ G. Paresis, weakness (05 Mar 2000) |
| generalised paralysis | Paralysis of both whole sides of the body; survival is usually of short duration. Synonym: generalised paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
