| therapy, computer-assisted | Computer systems utilised as adjuncts in the treatment of disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| laparoscopically assisted surgery | Operative procedure performed using combined laparoscopic and open techniques; most commonly applied to colon or small intestinal resections with anastomosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laser-assisted balloon angioplasty | <cardiology, procedure> Techniques using laser energy in combination with a balloon catheter to perform angioplasty. These procedures can take several forms including: 1. Laser fibre delivering the energy while the inflated balloon centres the fibre and occludes the blood flow. 2. Balloon angioplasty immediately following laser angioplasty. 3. Laser energy transmitted through angioplasty balloons that contain an internal fibre. (05 Mar 2000) |
| behavioural genetics | The study of heritable factors in behavioural patterns, as by pedigree analysis, biochemical abnormality, or karyotypic analysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biochemical genetics | The study of genetics in terms of the chemical (biochemical) events involved, as in the manner in which DNA molecules replicate and control the synthesis of specific enzymes by the genetic code. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biometrical genetics | <study> The mathematical approach to the study of the inheritance of different phenotypes, or physical characteristics, as a result of plant or animal breeding. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Galtonian-Fisher genetics | The genetics of measurable traits determined by multiple loci which make contributions that are independent, additive, and approximately equal. Synonym: multilocal genetics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galtonian genetics | The study of traits by analysis of the first two moments of metrical data; the preferred method for analysis of traits following the multivariate gaussian distribution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palindrome in genetics | A palindrome is a word that reads the same in both directions as, for example, the names eve or anna. In genetics, a palindrome is a DNA or RNA sequence that reads the same in both directions. The sites of many restriction enzymes that cut (restrict) DNA are palindromes. Palindromic rheumatism is a form of joint inflammation whereby the joints involved appears to change periodically from one region of the body to another and back again. (12 Dec 1998) |
| variation (genetics) | The phenotypic differences among individuals in a population. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genetics | <study> The study of the patterns of inheritance of specific traits. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genetics, behavioural | The experimental study of the relationship between the genotype of an organism and its behaviour. The scope includes the effects of genes on simple sensory processes to complex organization of the nervous system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genetics, biochemical | A branch of genetics which deals with the chemical structure of the genes and with the mechanisms by which the genes control and regulate the structure and synthesis of proteins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genetics, medical | A field of human genetics which entails the reliable prediction of certain human disorders as a function of the lineage and/or genetic makeup of any two parents or potential parents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genetics, microbial | A branch of genetics which deals with the genetic mechanisms and processes of microorganisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
