|---|---|
| ammonia fixation | The utilization of ammonia (or ammonium ions) in the net synthesis of nitrogen-containing molecules; e.g., glutamine synthetase. Synonym: ammonia fixation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bifoveal fixation | A condition in which both eyes are simultaneously directed to the same target. Synonym: bifoveal fixation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| binocular fixation | A condition in which both eyes are simultaneously directed to the same target. Synonym: bifoveal fixation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbon fixation | <plant biology> The process by which photosynthetic organisms such as plants turn inorganic carbon (usually carbon dioxide) into organic compounds (us. Carbohydrates). (09 Oct 1997) |
| mandibulomaxillary fixation | Fixation of fractures of the mandible or maxilla by applying elastic bands or stainless steel wire between the maxillary and mandibular arch bars or other types of splint. Synonym: mandibulomaxillary fixation, maxillomandibular fixation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genetic fixation | The increase of the frequency of a gene by genetic drift until no other allele is preserved in a specific finite population. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gibney's fixation bandage | A herring-bone strapping of the foot and leg for sprain of the ankle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maxillomandibular fixation | Fixation of fractures of the mandible or maxilla by applying elastic bands or stainless steel wire between the maxillary and mandibular arch bars or other types of splint. Synonym: mandibulomaxillary fixation, maxillomandibular fixation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Roger-Anderson pin fixation appliance | An appliance used in extraoral fixation of mandibular fractures and prognathic corrections in which pins placed in the bone segments are joined by metal connecting rods. See: external pin fixation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumalveolar fixation | Stabilization of a fracture segment or surgical splint by wire passed through and around the dental alveolar process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circummandibular fixation | Stabilization of a fracture segment or surgical splint by wire passed around the mandible. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumzygomatic fixation | Stabilization of a fracture segment or surgical splint by wire passed around the zygomatic arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complementation-fixation test | <investigation> A test for the presence of antibodies in a serum, based on whether an antigen and complement, when put together with some red blood cells, are able to destroy them. If the red blood cells are destroyed, then antibodies were not present to prevent it. If the red blood cells are not destroyed, then antibodies were present to combine with the antigen and bind the complement, making them unable to attack the red blood cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| complement fixation | <immunology> Binding of complement as a result of its interaction with immune complexes (the classical pathway) or particular surfaces (alternative pathway). (18 Nov 1997) |
