| late seizure | A seizure that occurs greater than one week after a craniocerebral trauma or CNS insult. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| late seral species | Shade tolerant species, primarily vine maple shrubs and western red cedar and western hemlock trees. These species follow the mid seral species in natural succession. (05 Dec 1998) |
| late seral treatment | A treatment in which late seral species will be established after thinning. (05 Dec 1998) |
| late-successional forest | Forest seral stages which include mature and old- growth age classes. (05 Dec 1998) |
| late-successional reserve | An area of forest where the management objective is to protect and enhance conditions of late successional and old-growth forest ecosystems. (05 Dec 1998) |
| late syphilis | Involvement of the cardiovascular or central nervous system, or the development of a gumma in any organ, due to infection with Treponema pallidum; usually several years to 2-3 decades after the initial infection. Synonym: tertiary syphilis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| late systole | The interval in the cardiac rhythm immediately preceding diastole. Synonym: late systole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anamnestic response | <immunology> Archaic term now replaced by such terms as secondary immune response, immune memory. (18 Nov 1997) |
| audiometry, evoked response | A form of electrophysiologic audiometry in which an analog computer is included in the circuit to average out ongoing or spontaneous brain wave activity. A characteristic pattern of response to a sound stimulus may then become evident. Evoked response audiometry is known also as electric response audiometry. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auditory brainstem response audiometry | An electrophysiologic measure of auditory function utilizing responses produced by the auditory nerve and the brainstem to repetitive acoustic stimuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biological response modifier | <pharmacology, oncology> A substance used in adjuvant therapy that takes advantage of the bodys own natural defense mechanisms to inhibit the growth of a tumour. (16 Dec 1997) |
| biological response modifiers | Substances that stimulate the body's response to infection and disease. The body naturally produces small amounts of these substances. Scientists can produce some of them in the laboratory in large amounts and use them in cancer treatment. Also called BRMs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biphasic response | Two separate and distinct responses that are separated in time, immediate reaction to an antigenic challenge followed by a recurrence of symptoms after an interval of quiescence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| booster response | The response of the immune system to the second or subsequent occasion on which it encounters a specific antigen. (18 Nov 1997) |
| brainstem evoked response audiometry | An electrophysiologic measure of auditory function utilizing responses produced by the auditory nerve and the brainstem to repetitive acoustic stimuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
