| reversible hydrocolloid | A hydrocolloid composed of a base substance whose physical state may be changed to that of a liquid by the application of heat and then changed to that of an elastic gel by cooling. (05 Mar 2000) |

| reversible hydrogenase | <enzyme> Isolated from heterocysts and vegetative cells of anabena Registry number: EC 1.12.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| reversible process | <chemistry> A cyclic process carried out by a hypothetical pathway, which leaves the universe exactly the same as it was before the process, no real process is reversible. For chemical systems we consider a process at equilibrium to be reversible. Examples are phase transitions that occur at the melting point or boiling point temperatures at 1 atm pressure. (09 Jan 1998) |
| reversible reaction | A chemical reaction that takes place in either direction i.e., from the forward or reverse direction; ionization is such a reaction, as are reaction's involving racemases, isomerases, mutases, transferases, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reversible shock | Shock that will respond to treatment and from which recovery is possible. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colitis, ischemic | Acute vascular insufficiency of the colon usually involving the portion supplied by the inferior mesenteric artery. The symptoms include pain at the iliac fossa, bloody diarrhoea, low-grade fever, abdominal distention, and abdominal tenderness. The classic radiologic sign is thumbprinting due to localised elevation of the mucosa by submucosal haemorrhage or oedema. Ulceration may follow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy | Damage to cells in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) from inadequate oxygen. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy allegedly may cause in death in the newborn period or result in what is later recognised as developmental delay, mental retardation, or cerebral palsy. This is an area of considerable medical and medicolegal debate. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ischemic | Affected by ischaemia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ischemic colitis | <radiology> Precipitating factors: volvulus, carcinoma, cardiovascular disease, history of aortoiliac reconstruction (2%) with ligation of IMA, abrupt onset of lower abdominal pain and rectal bleeding, location: splenic flexure (80%) and rectosigmoid (watershed areas), BE: single contrast prefered (lesions may become effaced with double contrast), serrated mucosa; pseudopolyposis; transverse ridging; thumbprinting on mesenteric side; deep ulcers, CT: thickening of wall; irregular lumen (thumbrinting), curvilinear collection of intramural gas, portal and mesenteric venous air, blood clot in superior mesenteric artery / superior mesenteric vein, Angio (similar to inflammatory disease): normal / slightly attenuated arterial supply, mild acceleration of arteriovenous transit time (12 Dec 1998) |
| ischemic contracture of the left ventricle | Irreversible contraction of the left ventricle of the heart as a complication seen in the early period of cardiopulmonary bypass and now avoided by appropriate cardioplegic solutions. Synonym: myocardial rigor mortis, stone heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemic hypoxia | Tissue hypoxia characterised by tissue oligaemia and caused by arterial or arteriolar obstruction or vasoconstriction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemic mitral regurgitation | A regurgitation of the mitral valve caused by ischemic heart disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemic muscular atrophy | See: Volkmann's contracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemic necrosis | Necrosis caused by hypoxia resulting from local deprivation of blood supply, as by infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemic neuropathy | Neuropathy resulting from acute or chronic ischemia of the involved nerves. (05 Mar 2000) |
