| Silver-Russell dwarfism | <syndrome> A disorder characterised by low birth weight, late closure of the anterior fontanel, bilateral bodily asymmetry, clinodactyly of the fifth fingers, triangular facies, and carp mouth; little useful genetic evidence. Synonym: Silver-Russell dwarfism. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: Silver-Russell dwarfism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| silver stain | <technique> Any of a variety of stain's (e.g., Bielschowsky's, Gomori's silver, impregnation stain's) which employ alkaline silver nitrate solutions to stain connective tissue fibres (reticulin, collagen), calcium salt deposits, spirochaetes, neurological tissue, and nucleolar organiser regions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| silver staining | The use of silver, usually silver nitrate, as a reagent for producing contrast or colouration in tissue specimens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| silver sulfadiazine | <chemical> Antibacterial used topically in burn therapy. Pharmacological action: anti-infective agents, local. Chemical name: Silver, (4-amino-N-2-pyrimidinylbenzenesulfonamidato-NN,O1)- (12 Dec 1998) |
| silver-tin alloy | Any alloy of silver and tin; commonly 3 parts Ag and 1 part Sn, forming Ag3Sn, the chief intermetallic compound in dental amalgam. (05 Mar 2000) |
| strong silver protein | A compound of sil'ver and protein containing not less than 7.5 and not more than 8.5% of sil'ver; used externally as an antiseptic, devoid of astringent and nearly so of irritant properties. (05 Mar 2000) |
| toughened silver nitrate | Silver nitrate mixed with silver chloride and allowed to dry. Usually applied to the ends of small wooden applicator sticks or made available as pencils. These are used after wetting as a caustic chemical for the removal of warts. Synonym: fused silver nitrate, lunar caustic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fontana-Masson silver stain | <technique> A stain used to demonstrate melanin and argentaffin granules. Synonym: Fontana-Masson silver stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fused silver nitrate | Silver nitrate mixed with silver chloride and allowed to dry. Usually applied to the ends of small wooden applicator sticks or made available as pencils. These are used after wetting as a caustic chemical for the removal of warts. Synonym: fused silver nitrate, lunar caustic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenovirus e1a proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e1a region of adenovirus which are involved in positive regulation of transcription of the early genes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1b proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e1b region of adenovirus which are involved in regulation of the levels of early and late gene expression. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e1 proteins | The very first viral gene products synthesised after cells are infected with adenovirus. The e1 region of the genome has been divided into two major transcriptional units, e1a and e1b, each expressing proteins of the same name (adenovirus e1a proteins and adenovirus e1b proteins). (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e2 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e2 region of adenovirus. Several of these are required for viral DNA replication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenovirus e3 proteins | Proteins transcribed from the e3 region of adenovirus but not essential for viral replication. The e3 19k protein mediates adenovirus persistence by reducing the expression of class I major histocompatibility complex antigens on the surface of infected cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
