| triple response | <immunology> The vascular changes in the skin in response to mild mechanical injury, an outward spreading zone of reddening flare) followed rapidly by a weal (swelling) at the site of injury. Redness, heat and swelling, three of the cardinal signs of inflammation, are present. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| evoked response | An alteration in the electrical activity of a region of the nervous system through which an incoming sensory stimulus is passing; may be somatosensory (SER), auditory (BAER), or visual (VER). See: evoked potential. (05 Mar 2000) |
| evoked response audiometry | A type of electrophysiologic audiometry in which electrical potentials of neural impulses from the cochlear nerve and various levels in the brain in response to acoustic stimulation are used to localise the site of a lesion causing a hearing loss. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unconditioned response | A response, such as salivation, which is a part of the animal or human repertoire. Compare: conditioned response. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flight or fight response | See: emergency theory. (05 Mar 2000) |
| late-phase response | Recurrence of symptoms after an appreciable interval following challenge with an antigen; preceded by an initial early-phase response. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lh response to gnrh | This test measures the level of luteinising hormone in the blood after an injection of gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GNRH), normally produced in the hypothalamus. This will test the ability of the pituitary gland to respond by measuring one of the pituitary glands byproducts, luteinising hormone. This test is used to differentiate hypogonadism (ovary or testes) into primary hypogonadism (problem is with the ovary or testes) or secondary hypogonadism (problem is with the pituitary gland or the hypothalamus). (27 Sep 1997) |
| lymphoproliferative response | <haematology, immunology> A specific immune response that entails rapid T-cell replication. Standard antigens, such as tetanus toxoid, that elicit this response are used in lab tests of immune competence. (13 Nov 1997) |
| CS2 secondary alkylsulfohydrolase | <enzyme> From comamonas terrigena Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: cs2 sa sulfohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| protein structure, secondary | The stage in the development of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to alpha helices and beta sheets. This is the first folding level of protein building. (12 Dec 1998) |
| secondary | Second or inferior in order of time, place or importance, derived from or consequent to a primary event or thing. Origin: L. Secundarius, secundus = second (18 Nov 1997) |
| secondary abdominal pregnancy | A condition in which the embryo or foetus continues to grow in the abdominal cavity after its expulsion from the fallopian tube or other seat of its primary development. Synonym: abdominocyesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary adhesion | Delayed closure of two granulating surfaces. Synonym: secondary adhesion, secondary union. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary adrenocortical insufficiency | Adrenocortical insufficiency caused by failure of ACTH secretion resulting from anterior pituitary disease or inhibition of ACTH production resulting from exogenous steroid therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary aerodontalgia | Pain referred to the dental area from an area of aerosinusitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
