| calcium rigor | Arrest of the heart in the fully contracted state as a result of poisoning with calcium. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| calcium saccharate | Calcium d-saccharate;used as an antacid in dyspepsia and flatulence, as an antidote in carbolic acid poisoning, and as a stabiliser for calcium gluconate solution for parenteral administration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium sign | In chest radiography, displacement of the line of the calcified intima of the aorta away from its outer wall, a finding in a small percentage of cases of dissection of blood in the aortic media; the expression "displaced intimal calcification" is preferred to the listed term. See: aortic dissection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium stearate | Used in the preparation of tablets as a lubricant for tablet machinery and to keep powder mixtures flowing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium sulfate | <chemical> It exists in an anhydrous form and in various states of hydration: the hemihydrate is plaster of paris, the dihydrate is gypsum. It is used in building materials, as a desiccant, in dentistry as an impression material, cast, or die, and in medicine for immobilizing casts and as a tablet excipient. Pharmacological action: dental materials, excipient. Chemical name: Sulfuric acid, calcium salt (1:1) (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium sulfite | Used as an intestinal antiseptic, and locally in the treatment of parasitic skin diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium-transporting atpase | <enzyme> An enzyme found in the sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicle membrane. During the relaxation of skeletal muscles and muscle rich in mitochondria, this enzyme catalyses the active transport of calcium into the sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from the sarcoplasm. It requires micromolar concentrations of calcium and utilises mgatp as a substrate. Chemical name: ATP phosphohydrolase (Calcium-transporting) Registry number: EC 3.6.1.38 (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium trisodium pentetate | The calcium trisodium salt of pentetic acid. Synonym: calcium trisodium pentetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium tungstate | A phosphor with a high stopping power for X-rays that was formerly used widely in fluoroscopic screens and intensifying screens for radiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| racaemic calcium pantothenate | <chemistry> A mixture of the calcium salts of the dextrorotatory and levorotatory isomers of pantothenic acid; same uses as calcium pantothenate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vacuolar calcium ATPase | <enzyme> Isolated from saccharomyces cerevisiae; genbank u36603 Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: h(+)-ca(2+)-atpase, vacuolar (26 Jun 1999) |
| pentetate trisodium calcium | The calcium trisodium salt of pentetic acid. Synonym: calcium trisodium pentetate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ryanodine receptor calcium release channel | Protein complexes that mediate the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in both skeletal and cardiac muscle cells by forming tetrametric complexes. These complexes each then act as a calcium channel. There are three isoforms of the ryr: ryr1, ryr2, and ryr3. Ryr1 is specifically expressed in skeletal muscles and ryr2 in cardiac muscles. Ryr3 is yet another isoform found in non-muscle cells such as neuronal cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| citrated calcium carbimide | A mixture of two parts citric acid to one part calcium carbimide; in the metabolism of ethanol, it slows the conversion of acetaldehyde to acetate; used in the treatment of alcoholism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| milk of calcium | Densely calcified fluid, most often found radiographically in the gallbladder in association with chronic obstruction. (05 Mar 2000) |
