| artificial classification | <zoology> Classification based on convenient or conspicuous diagnostic characters without attention to characters indicating relationship, often a classification based on a single arbitrarily chosen character, rather than an evaluation of the totality of characters. (09 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| Black's classification | A classification of cavities of the teeth based upon the tooth surface(s) involved. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Caldwell-Moloy classification | A classification of the variations in the female pelvis; namely gynecoid, android, anthropoid, and platypelloid pelvis, based on the type of the posterior and anterior segments of the inlet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Galton's system of classification of fingerprints | A system of classification based on the variations in the patterns of the ridges, which are grouped into arches, loops, and whorls (A.L.W. Or arch-loop-whorl system). "Arches are formed when the ridges run from one side to the other of the bulb of the digit, without making any backward turn, but no twist; whorls, when there is a turn through at least one complete circle; they are also considered to include all duplex spirals." The abbreviations used in making a record of fingerprint's are: a, arch; l, loop; w, whorl; i, loop with an inner (thumb side) slope; o, loop with an outer (little-finger side) slope. The ten digits are registered in four groups as follows, distinguished by capital letters: A, the fore, middle, and ring fingers of the right hand; B, the fore, middle, and ring fingers of the left hand; C, the thumb and little finger of the right hand; D, the thumb and little finger of the left hand. See: dermatoglyphics. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gell and Coombs Classification | A classification system that differentiates the 4 types of hypersensitivity reactions: Type I: anaphylactic reactions, Type II: cytotoxic reactions, Type III: immune complex reactions, and Type IV: cell-mediated reactions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rappaport classification | A histologic classification of lymphomas in use before the availability of recent methods for identification of B-and T-type lymphocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phenetic classification | <zoology> Classification based on degree of overall similarity. (09 Jan 1998) |
| Rye classification | Classification of Hodgkin's disease according to lymphocyte predominance, nodular sclerosing, mixed cellularity, and lymphocyte depletion types. Origin: Rye, NY, 1965 (05 Mar 2000) |
| cladistic classification | <zoology> Classification based on recency of common descent, i.e. Categories depend on the position of the branching points on the inferred phylogenetic tree. (09 Jan 1998) |
| classification | <zoology> The systematic arrangement of similar entities on the basis of certain differing characteristics and the basis of their relationships. (09 Jan 1998) |
| multiaxial classification | A procedure used in DSM-III-R for diagnosing patients on five axes: 1) psychiatric syndrome present; 2) patient's history of personality and developmental disorders; 3) possible nonmental medical disorders; 4) severity of psychosocial stressors; 5) highest level of adaptive functioning in the past year. (05 Mar 2000) |
| portal hypertension: classification | <radiology> Presinusoidal, extrahepatic: portal vein obstruction (extrinsic compression, phlebitis, OC, coagulopathy, tumour invasion, pancreatitis, neonatal omphalitis), dynamic: traumatic/neoplastic arterioportal fistula, segmental portal hypertension: splenic/superior mesenteric vein occlusion, intrahepatic (obstruction of portal venules): congenital hepatic fibrosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, sarcoid, myelofibrosis, schistosomiasis, idiopathic noncirrhotic fibrosis, Wilson disease, reticuloendotheliosis, Felty syndrome, chronic malaria, toxic fibrosis (arsenic, copper, PVC vapors) sinusoidal, cirrhosis, sclerosing cholangitis postsinusoidal, Budd-Chiari syndrome, constrictive pericarditis, congestive heart failure (12 Dec 1998) |
| Cummer's classification | A listing of several types of removable partial dentures in accordance with the distribution of direct retainers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Salter-Harris classification of epiphysial plate injuries | The classification of epiphysial plate injuries into five groups (I to V), according to the pattern of damage to epiphysis, physis, and/or metaphysis; the classification correlates with different prognoses regarding the effects of the injury on subsequent growth and subsequent deformity of the epiphysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| horizontal classification | <zoology> Classification which stresses grouping together taxa in a similar stage of evolution, rather than location on the same phyletic line. See: Vertical classification. (09 Jan 1998) |
