| L-[form] | a defective bacterial variant that can multiply on hypertonic medium |
|---|---|
| M6 | band form in the 6th stage of myelocyte maturation |
| NAD+ | the oxidized form of NAD |
| NADP+ | oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate |
| NDF | neutrophil diffraction factor; new dosage form |
| T wave | The next deflection in the electrocardiogram following the QRS complex; represents ventricular repolarization. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| excitation wave | A wave of altered electrical conditions that is propagated along a muscle fibre preparatory to its contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy | <procedure> This procedure uses sound waves delivered inside a water bath to pulverise kidney stones painlessly inside the body. (11 Nov 1997) |
| y wave | The wave in the atrial and venous pulse curves reflecting rapid filling of the ventricles just after the atrioventricular valves open. (05 Mar 2000) |
| U wave | A positive wave following the T wave of the electrocardiogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fluid wave | A sign of free fluid in the abdominal cavity; percussion on one side of the abdomen transmits a wave that is felt on the opposite side. (05 Mar 2000) |
| free wave | <radiobiology> A wave (for example, electromagnetic) traveling in a homogeneous infinite medium (no boundary conditions). (09 Oct 1997) |
| longitudinal wave | <physics> Waves where the variation of the field is partially or totally in the direction of propagation (parallel to wavennumber, k [a vector]). Examples include sound waves and Langmuir waves. Contrasted with transverse waves, where the variation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, such as light waves. (13 Nov 1997) |
