| early seizure | A seizure occurring within one week after craniocerebral trauma. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| electrographic seizure | A seizure detected by EEG, which has no clinical correlate, i.e., an EEG seizure alone or an electrical seizure alone. Synonym: electrographic seizure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tonic-clonic seizure | <neurology> A type of seizure that results in loss of consciousness, generalised muscle contractions, urinary incontinence, tongue biting and a post-ictal state (confusion and lethargy) following cessation of the seizure. Synonym: grand-mal seizure. See: epilepsy. (03 Jul 1999) |
| tonic seizure | Sustained contractures of skeletal muscle as occur during convulsions. Synonym: tonic convulsion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epileptic seizure | A seizure that is caused by epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Jacksonian seizure | A brief temporary alteration in movement, sensation or autonomic nerve function caused by abnormal electrical activity in a localised area of the brain. Focal seizures (i.e. Partial or Jacksonian seizures) usually cause no change in awareness or alertness. An example of a focal (partial) seizure would be rhythmic muscle contractions in one area of the body: lip smacking, mouth movements, drooling, head turning, eye movements or seemingly purposeful movements (for example picking at clothes). Other presentations may be strictly sensory with abnormal numbness, tingling or a crawling sensation to the skin. More unusual symptoms include changes in speech, thought, personality, mood, sensation of deja vu or hallucinations. (27 Sep 1997) |
| febrile seizure | <neurology, paediatrics> A convulsion that occurs secondary to a rapid increase in body temperature. Common in infants under two years of age. (27 Sep 1997) |
| focal motor seizure | A simple partial seizure with localised motor activity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| focal seizure | <neurology> A brief temporary alteration in movement, sensation or autonomic nerve function caused by abnormal electrical activity in a localised area of the brain. Focal seizures (i.e. Partial or Jacksonian seizures) usually cause no change in awareness or alertness. An example of a focal (partial) seizure would be rhythmic muscle contractions in one area of the body: lip smacking, mouth movements, drooling, head turning, eye movements or seemingly purposeful movements (for example picking at clothes). Other presentations may be strictly sensory with abnormal numbness, tingling or a crawling sensation to the skin. More unusual symptoms include changes in speech, thought, personality, mood, sensation of deja vu or hallucinations. (05 Jan 1998) |
| late seizure | A seizure that occurs greater than one week after a craniocerebral trauma or CNS insult. (05 Mar 2000) |
| activated partial thromboplastin time | The time needed for plasma to form a fibrin clot following the addition of calcium and a phospholipid reagent; used to evaluate the intrinsic clotting system. (05 Mar 2000) |

Partial differentials, Partial differential coefficients, Partial differentiation, etc. (of a function of two or more variables), the differentials, differential coefficients, differentiation etc, of the function, upon the hypothesis that some of the variables are for the time constant. <mathematics> Partial fractions, the simple tones which in combination form an ordinary tone; the overtones, or harmonics, which, blending with a fundamental tone, cause its special quality of sound, or timbre, or tone colour.
