| antibody induced lysis | <haematology> The term is imprecise and should not be used since there is confusion as to which mechanism is involved, i.e. Natural killing or complement lysis. See: complement lysis, natural killer cells. (09 Feb 1998) |
|---|---|
| asthma, exercise-induced | Asthma attacks following a period of exercise. Usually the induced attack is short-lived and regresses spontaneously. The magnitude of postexertional airway obstruction is strongly influenced by the environment in which exercise is performed (i.e. Inhalation of cold air during physical exertion markedly augments the severity of the airway obstruction; conversely, warm humid air blunts or abolishes it). (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacteriophage T7 induced DNA polymerase | <enzyme> Complex of two proteins, phage gene 5 protein and E coli thioredoxin Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: t7 phage DNA polymerase, sequenase, t7 DNA polymerase, thermo sequenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia | type III familial hyperlipoproteinaemia, type IV familial hyperlipoproteinaemia |
| combined fat-and carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia | Hyperlipoproteinaemia characterised by increased plasma levels of chylomicrons, VLDL, pre-beta-lipoproteins, and triglycerides, and slight rise of cholesterol on a normal diet, with beta-lipoproteins normal; may be accompanied by bouts of abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, susceptibility to atherosclerosis, and abnormal glucose tolerance; probably autosomal recessive inheritance. Synonym: combined fat-and carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia, familial hyperchylomicronaemia with hyperprebetalipoproteinaemia, mixed hyperlipaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contact induced spreading | The response in which contact between two epithelial cells leads to a stabilised contact and the increased spreading of the cells so that the area covered is greater than that covered by the two cells in isolation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| corticosteroid-induced acne | The exacerbation of acne after corticosteroid use is a common drug reaction seen in adolescents. Lessening the dose of the corticosteroid will often diminish this effect. (27 Sep 1997) |
| corticosteroid-induced glaucoma | <ophthalmology> Glaucoma caused by a hereditary predisposition in which local instillation of eyedrops containing corticosteroid causes increased intraocular pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corticosteroid-induced striae | <dermatology> High-dose glucocorticoid therapy causes atrophy of the skin and a failure of the normal regenerative process. Purple striae often develop over the individual's trunk or thighs. The colour fades when the drug is stopped, but the dermal atrophy remains. (27 Sep 1997) |
| hearing loss, noise-induced | Hearing loss from exposure to noise. The loss is often in the frequency range 4000-6000 hertz. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heart arrest, induced | Arrest of the contraction of the myocardium by the use of cardioplegic chemical compounds (cardioplegic solutions) or of cold during heart surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| SA-induced protein kinase | <enzyme> 48-kD map kinase isolated from nicotiana tabacum; genbank u94192 Registry number: EC 2.7.10.- Synonym: p48 sip kinase, salicylic acid-induced protein kinase, sipk enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| hepatitis, chronic, drug-induced | An inflammatory disease of the liver, lasting six months or more, and caused by an adverse drug effect. The adverse effect may result from a direct toxic effect of a drug or metabolite, or an idiosyncratic response to a drug or metabolite. The clinical and histological changes can mimic viral or autoimmune hepatitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| psychoses, substance-induced | Psychotic organic mental disorders resulting from the toxic effect of drugs and chemicals or other harmful substance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hyperthermia, induced | Abnormally high temperature intentionally induced in living things regionally or whole body. It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs. (12 Dec 1998) |
