| electrophoretic | Relating to electrophoresis, as an electrophoretic separation. Synonym: ionophoretic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophoretogram | <chemistry> The densitometric or colourimetric pattern obtained from filter paper or similar porous strips on which substances have been separated by electrophoresis; may also refer to the strips themselves. Synonym: electrophoretogram, ionogram, ionopherogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophorus | <physics> An instrument for exciting electricity, and repeating the charge indefinitely by induction, consisting of a flat cake of resin, shelllac, or ebonite, upon which is placed a plate of metal. Origin: NL, fr. Combining form electro- + Gr. To bear. (04 Mar 1998) |
| electrophototherapy | Phototherapy in which the source of the rays is the electric light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophrenic | Denoting electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve usually at its motor point in the neck. See: electrophrenic respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophrenic respiration | The rhythmical electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve by an electrode applied to the skin at the motor points of the phrenic nerve; it is used in paralysis of the respiratory centre resulting from acute bulbar poliomyelitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophysiologic audiometry | Measurement of a patient's response to a sound stimulus by using various types of objective audiometric equipment or techniques without necessarily having the patient's conscious cooperation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophysiological | <physiology> Pertaining to electrophysiology, the electrical results produced through physiological agencies, or by change of action in a living organism. (04 Mar 1998) |
| electrophysiological studies | <investigation> A special study that involves the placement of electrodes inside the heart to map the electrical characteristics of the heart. This study is carried out in a specially equipped lab and is similar to a cardiac catheterisation procedure. Electrodes are placed inside the heart via a catheter placed into a vein. The electrodes are positioned near the heart's conduction system and an electrical map of the heart can be determined. This test is often performed in those where a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia is a problem. The location and characteristics of an arrhythmia can be determined, thus guiding medical management of the problem. Patients with Wolf Parkinson White syndrome or sick sinus syndrome may have this test as part of their evaluation. Acronym: EPS (14 Mar 2000) |
| electrophysiology | <physiology, study> That branch of physiology that is concerned with the electric phenomena associated with living bodies and involved in their functional activity. (04 Mar 1998) |
| electroplate | <chemistry> To plate or cover with a coating of metal, usually silver, nickel, or gold, by means of electrolysis. Origin: Electroplating. (04 Mar 1998) |
| electroplater | One who electroplates. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| electroplating | The art or process of depositing a coating (commonly) of silver, gold, or nickel on an inferior metal, by means of electricity. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
