| PTBPD | posttraumatic borderline personality disorder |
| posttraumatic syndrome | <syndrome> A clinical disorder that often follows head injury, characterised by headache, dizziness, neurasthenia, hypersensitivity to stimuli, and diminished concentration. Synonym: traumatic neurasthenia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| immediate posttraumatic automatism | A posttraumatic state in which the patient performs automatically without immediate or later memory of that behaviour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immediate posttraumatic convulsion | A convulsion beginning very soon after injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| early posttraumatic epilepsy | Seizures beginning within one week after severe head injury. (05 Mar 2000) |

| abiotic stress | <botany> Nonliving environmental factors (such as drought, extreme cold or heat, high winds) that can have harmful effects on plants. (06 May 1997) |
| acute stress reaction | A sudden bout of anxiety that is often accompanied by the features of hyperventilation (tingling around mouth and in fingertips, rapid breathing, faintness or fainting). (27 Sep 1997) |
| biotic stress | <biology> Living organisms which can harm plants, such as viruses, fungi, bacteria, and harmful insects. (19 Jan 1998) |
| magnetic stress tensor | <radiobiology> A second-rank tensor, proportional to the dyadic product of the magnetic field (B) with itself. The divergence of the magnetic stress tensor gives that part of the force which a magnetic field exerts on a unit volume of conducting fluid due to the curvature of the magnetic field lines.

| contraction stress test | A test used to evaluate foetal well-being by inducing contractions and analyzing the foetal heart rate response. (05 Mar 2000) |
| porcine stress syndrome | A severe form of fever that occurs as a reaction to certain anaesthetic agents and muscle relaxants. Malignant hyperthermia is an inherited autosomal dominant condition. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| heat stress disorder | A group of conditions due to overexposure to or overexertion in excess environmental temperature. It includes heat cramps, which are non-emergent and treated by salt replacement; heat exhaustion, which is more serious, treated with fluid and salt replacement; and heatstroke, a condition most commonly affecting extremes of age, especially the elderly, accompanied by convulsions, delusions, or coma and treated with cooling the body and replacement of fluids and salts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| shear stress | The force acting in shear flow expressed per unit area; units in the CGS system: dynes/cm2. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stress | 1. Forcibly exerted influence, pressure. In dentistry, the pressure of the upper teeth against the lower in mastication. 2. The sum of the biological reactions to any adverse stimulus, physical, mental or emotional, internal or external, that tends to disturb the organisms homeostasis, should these compensating reactions be inadequate or inappropriate, they may lead to disorders. The term is also used to refer to the stimuli that elicit the reactions. (18 Nov 1997) |
