| carbonyl group | A group in which an oxygen atom is double-bonded to a carbon atom: O=C. The carbon atom then has two additional bonds to attach to the rest of the molecule. Organic molecules containing a carbonyl group are a very important, major group of compounds studied in the field of organic chemistry. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| carboxyl group | -COOH group. One of the oxygens is double-bonded to the carbon atom, making it a carbonyl group, and the other oxygen is single bonded to the carbon on one side, and single bonded to the hydrogen on the other. The remaining bond on the carbon atom is attached to the rest of the molecule. Organic molecules containing carboxyl groups are an important, major group of compounds studied in the field of organic chemistry. (09 Oct 1997) |
| vanadium group | Those elements resembling vanadium in chemical and metallurgical properties; included with vanadium are niobium and tantalum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marathon group psychotherapy | A type of group psychotherapy characterised by uninterrupted sessions for periods of hours or days, with minimal interruptions for food and rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| genus-group | <zoology> The taxonomic categories genus and subgenus. (09 Jan 1998) |
| CDE blood group | See Rh blood group, Blood Groups appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| p blood-group system | A blood group related to the abo, lewis and I systems. at least five different erythrocyte antigens are possible, some very rare, others almost universal. Multiple alleles are involved in this blood group. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pectoral group of axillary lymph nodes | Lymph nodes located along the lateral thoracic vein; they receive the drainage of the pectoral region, including most of the drainage of the breast. Synonym: nodi lymphatici axillaris pectorales, anterior group of axillary lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central group of axillary lymph nodes | Nodes located around the midportion of the axillary vein; they receive afferent vessels from the lateral (brachial), pectoral, and subscapular groups of axillary nodes and send efferent vessels to the apical group of axillary node's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peer group | Group composed of associates of same species, approximately the same age, and usually of similar rank or social status. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glycosyl group | <biochemistry> A radical chemical group on a larger molecule, derived from a sugar or starch molecule, which is attached to the rest of the larger molecule by way of a glycosidic bond. (09 Oct 1997) |
| C group viruses | A serologic group of the genus Bunyavirus (formerly called group C arboviruses), composed of 12 species including Caraparu, Murutucu, and Oriboca virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| characterizing group | A group of atoms in a molecule that distinguishes the class of substances in which it occurs from all other classes; thus carbonyl (CO) is the characterizing group of ketones; COOH, of organic acids, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| r group | <chemistry> A chemical abbreviation that normally denotes an alkyl group, but is occasionally used to refer to other organic groups. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Rhesus blood group | <haematology> Human blood group system with allelic red cell antigens C, D and E. The D antigen is the strongest. Red cells from a Rhesus positive foetus cross the placenta and can sensitise a Rehesus negative mother, expecially at parturition. The mother's antibody may then, in a subsequent pregnancy, cause haemolytic disease of the newborn if the foetus is Rhesus positive. The disease can be prevented by giving antiD IgG during the first 72 hours after parturition to mop up D red cells in the maternal circulation. 1st ed (18 Nov 1997) |
