| neoplasm regression, spontaneous | Disappearance of a neoplasm or neoplastic state without the intervention of therapy. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| neoplasm, residual | Remnant of a tumour or cancer after primary, potentially curative therapy. (dr. Daniel masys, written communication) (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasm seeding | The local implantation of tumour cells by contamination of instruments and surgical equipment during and after surgical resection, resulting in local growth of the cells and tumour formation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasm staging | Methods which attempt to express in replicable terms the extent of the neoplasm in the patient. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasm transplantation | Experimental transplantation of neoplasms in laboratory animals for research purposes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| DNA, neoplasm | DNA present in neoplastic tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| drug resistance, neoplasm | Resistance or diminished response of a neoplasm to an antineoplastic agent in humans, animals, or cell or tissue cultures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthesia, local | Anaesthesia confined to one part of the body. Infiltration anaesthesia produces local anaesthesia by deposition of a local anaesthesia solution in the area of small, terminal nerve endings. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaesthetics, local | Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fibre. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anaesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. Nearly all local anaesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate. They are commonly used not only in the peripheral nervous system, but also for spinal anaesthesia. The many drugs that have local anaesthetic actions as a side effect but are not used for their local anaesthetic action are not included here. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anti-infective agents, local | Substances used on humans and other animals that destroy harmful microorganisms or inhibit their activity. They are distinguished from disinfectants, which are used on inanimate objects. (12 Dec 1998) |
| local | Restricted to or pertaining to one spot or part, not general. Origin: L. Localis (18 Nov 1997) |
| local anaemia | Anaemia resulting from a decreased supply of blood to a part, as in the occlusion of a vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| local anaesthesia | The use of a local anaesthetic (usually injected into the tissue) results in a small region of anaesthesia (numbness). Lidocaine (Xylocaine) or (Marcaine) are commonly used. Origin: Gr. Aisthesis = sensation (27 Sep 1997) |
| local anaesthetic | The use of a local anaesthetic (usually injected into the tissue) results in a small region of anaesthesia (numbness). Lidocaine (Xylocaine) or (Marcaine) are commonly used. (27 Sep 1997) |
| local anaesthetic reaction | A toxic reaction due to absorption of local anaesthetic drug during regional anaesthesia, ranging from drowsiness to convulsions and cardiovascular collapse. (05 Mar 2000) |
