|---|---|
| indocyanine green | <chemical> A tricarbocyanine dye occurring as an olive-brown, dark green, dark blue, or black powder; used intravenously as a diagnostic aid in the determination of blood volume, cardiac output, and hepatic function. Pharmacological action: dyes. Chemical name: 1H-Benz(e)indolium, 2-(7-(1,3-dihydro-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-2H-benz(e)indol-2-ylidene)-1,3,5-heptatrienyl)-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-, inner salt, sodium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| Edridge-Green, Frederick | <person> English ophthalmologist, 1863-1953. See: Edridge-Green lamp. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Edridge-Green lamp | A lantern used to test recognition of coloured signals; it displays a single light with colour filters in rotating disks that can be modified to simulate conditions of weather and atmosphere. This test for colour blindness was officially adopted in Great Britain in 1915 in place of the Holmgren wool test, but is now seldom used. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethyl green | The sulfate of di-(p-diethylamino)-triphenyl carbinolanhydride. An indicator dye that changes from yellow to green at pH 0.0 to 2.6; also used as a topical antiseptic and as a selective bacteriostatic agent in culture media. Synonym: ethyl green. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Janus green B | C30H31N6Cl; diethylsafraninazodimethylaniline chloride;a basic dye used in histology and to stain mitochondria supravitally. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fast green FCF | An acid arylmethane dye widely used in histology and cytology and less subject to fading than light green FCF which it has replaced in many procedures; used as a quantitative cytochemical stain for histones at alkaline pH after acid extraction of DNA, and also in electrophoresis as a protein stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light green SF yellowish | An acid arylmethane dye, used as a cytoplasmic stain in plant and animal histology; fades badly in bright light. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lissamine green dyes | Green dyes containing ammonium and aryl sulfonate moieties that facilitate the visualization of tissues, if given intravenously. They have mostly been used in the study of kidney physiology. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abscopal effect | A reaction produced following irradiation but occurring outside the zone of actual radiation absorption. (05 Mar 2000) |
| additive effect | <biochemistry, chemistry> An additive effect is the overall biological effect two chemicals acting together and which is the simple sum of the effects of the chemicals acting independently. Compare: antagonism. (15 Jan 1998) |
| adverse effect | This is an abnormal or harmful effect to an organism caused by exposure to a chemical. It is indicated by some result such as death, a change in food or water consumption, altered body and organ weights, altered enzyme levels, or visible illness. An effect may be classed as adverse if it causes functional or anatomical damage, causes irreversible change in the homeostasis of the organism, or increases the susceptibility of the organism to other chemical or biological stress. A non-adverse effect will usually be reversed when the organism is no longer being exposed to the chemical. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Anrep effect | A small transient positive inotropic effect of abrupt increases of systolic aortic and left ventricular pressures related to recovery from transient subendocardial ischemia (e.g., cold pressor test). (05 Mar 2000) |
| antagonistic effect | This is the consequence of one chemical (or group of chemicals) counteracting the effects of another chemical, the opposing chemicals cancel out each other's effects. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Arias-Stella effect | Focal, unusual, decidual changes in endometrial epithelium, consisting of intraluminal budding, and nuclear enlargement and hyperchromatism with cytoplasmic swelling and vacuolation; may be associated with ectopic or uterine pregnancy. Synonym: Arias-Stella effect, Arias-Stella reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |
