| 설명 | 포도당견딤 검사란 당뇨병의 진단에 사용되는 검사로 당을 체내에 투여하고 시간 별로 혈액을 채취하여 혈당의 농도를 재어서 고혈당 여부를 조사하는 검사이다. 주로 경구포도당견딤검사(oral glucose tolerance test)를 많이 하는데 이것은 10~16시간의 금식 후에 채혈을 한번 한뒤에 도당 75g을 250~300mL의 물에 녹여 5분에 걸쳐서 마시게 하고 매시간 별로 채혈을 하여 혈당의 농도를 첵크한다. 공복시에 정맥에서 채혈하여 측정한 혈당이 140mg/dL이상이거나 포도당견딤 검사 2시간후의 혈당이 200mg/dL이상일 경우에는 당뇨병으로 진단을 한다. 그러나 이 검사를 실시할 경우에 주의해야 할 점은 검사전 3일간 하루에 150g이상의 탄수화물을 섭취해야 한다는 것과 검사도중에 운동, 흡연 등을 하지 않아야 한다는 것이다. |

| 설명 | 혈액형이나 질병 유무 따위를 알기 위하여 피를 뽑아 행하는 검사. 몸 전체의 장기나 조직에 병터가 있으면 이들 성분에 변화가 있게 되어 진단에 큰 도움을 준다. |

| positive control | Mechanism for gene regulation that requires that a regulatory protein must interact with some region of the gene before transcription can be activated. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| positive convergence | Inward deviation of the visual axes even when convergence is at rest, as in cases of convergent squint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive cooperativity | Cooperativity in which successive ligand molecules appear to bind with increasing affinity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive electrode | <microscopy> The electrode to which a major flow of electrons takes place internally (as in a cathode-ray tube) or to which an external positive voltage supply is connected. (05 Aug 1998) |
| positive electron | A subatomic particle of mass and charge equal to the electron but of opposite (i.e., positive) charge. Synonym: positive electron. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive electrotaxis | Electrotaxis by which an organism is attracted toward a cathode or repelled from an anode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive end-expiratory pressure | A technique used in respiratory therapy in which airway pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is achieved at the end of exhalation by introduction of a mechanical impedance to exhalation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive, false | A result that is erroneously positive when a situation is normal. An example of a false positive: a particular test designed to detect cancer of the toenail is positive but the person does not have toenail cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| positive feedback | <physiology> The return of some of the output of a system as input so as to exert some control in the process. (18 Nov 1997) |
| positive focal length | <microscopy> Any lens which converges parallel rays to a focus at the back of the lens is a positive lens and has a positive focal length. The focal length is measured from the second principal point of the lens to the point on the lens axis where the rays from an infinitely distant point are brought to focus. See: negative focal length. (05 Aug 1998) |
| positive G | Gravity or acceleration in the usual head-to-foot direction in flying or in standing upright; the reverse of negative G. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive image | <microscopy> A developed image in which dark areas correspond to dark areas of the original subject. (05 Aug 1998) |
| positive lens | <physics> Any lens with a positive focal length. Such lenses are thicker in the centre than around the circumference. There are three types of positive lenses, double convex or biconvex, planoconvex, converging concavoconvex or converging meniscus. (05 Aug 1998) |
| positive meniscus | A convexoconcave lens in which the power of the convexity exceeds that of the concavity. Synonym: positive meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive-negative pressure breathing | Inflation of the lungs with positive pressure and deflation with negative pressure by an automatic ventilator. (05 Mar 2000) |
