| diabetic patient | Diabetes mellitus is a disorder that is caused by the insufficient production of the pancreatic hormone insulin. Without insulin cells are unable to absorb glucose, necessary for cellular metabolism and energy production. Patients may have type I diabetes (juvenile onset) or type II diabetes (adult onset). Individuals with either condition are considered to be diabetic. (27 Sep 1997) |
| disease transmission, patient-to-professional | The transmission of infectious disease or pathogens from patients to health professionals or health care workers. It includes transmission via direct or indirect exposure to bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral agents. (12 Dec 1998) |

| target patient | In group therapy, the patient being analyzed in turn by another member patient. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unstable patient | The distinction of stability is made by a physician and based on a large number of variables: patient diagnosis, vital signs, physical findings, laboratory findings, subjective factors and patient prognosis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adoptive transfer | Form of passive immunization where previously sensitised immunologic agents (cells or serum) are transferred to non-immune recipients. When transfer of cells is used as a therapy for the treatment of neoplasms, it is called adoptive immunotherapy (immunotherapy, adoptive). (12 Dec 1998) |
| gamete intra-fallopian transfer | <gynaecology> Gamete intra-fallopian transfer is a technique that involves combining eggs and sperm outside of the body and immediately placing them into the fallopian tubes to achieve fertilization. A technique that came into use in the mid-1980's for assisted conception in infertile women with normal fallopian tubes. The protocol consists of hormonal stimulation of the ovaries, followed by laparoscopic follicular aspiration of oocytes, and then the transfer of sperm and oocytes by catheterization into the fallopian tubes. Acronym: GIFT (12 Dec 1998) |
| gel transfer | Any lab technique used to transfer substances which had been separated using gel electrophoresis from the gel to a membrane for further processing or analysis. For example: any type of blotting. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gene transfer | <molecular biology> General tem for the insertion of foreign genes into a cell or organism. Synonymous with transfection. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cavernous transfer of portal vein | <anatomy, vein> Replacement of the portal vein by a number of collateral channels, a consequence of thrombosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resistance-transfer factor | The transfer gene of the resistance plasmid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resonance energy transfer | <technique> Transfer of energy from one fluorochrome to another. The emission wavelength of the fluorochrome excited by the incident light must approximately match the excitation wavelength of the second fluorochrome. If light at the second emission wavelength is detected, it implies that the two fluorochromes were physically within a few nanometres. Used as a technique to probe protein or cell interactions.
