| interstitial plasma cell pneumonia | <chest medicine> A pneumonia caused by an infection with Pneumocystis carinii. Pneumocystis carinii grows rapidly in the lungs of patients with immunosuppression, particularly due to AIDS and is the leading AIDS-related cause of death. Pneumocystis carinii infection sometimes may occur elsewhere in the body (skin, eye, spleen, liver or heart). It is considered one of the diagnostic criteria for AIDS in an HIV positive individual.

| target plasma | <radiobiology> Plasma used to trap a neutral atom beam. A background plasma of sufficiently high density and temperature can ionize neutral atoms more effectively than the Lorentz process (where v cross B creates effective electric field). (09 Oct 1997) |
| temperature, plasma | <radiobiology> A measure of the random (thermal) kinetic energy of the ions or electrons in the plasma. The temperature of each component of a plasma depends on the mean kinetic energy of that component. An example of this is the fluorescent light bulb, which is an example of a weakly-ionised plasma where the electrons are at temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, whereas the ions and neutrals are much cooler (so that you can touch the bulb without being burned). See: atomic temperature, electron temperature, ion temperature. (09 Oct 1997) |
| edge plasma | <radiobiology> Cooler, less dense plasma away from the centre of a reactor, affected by limiter or divertor, includes scrape-off layer. Distinguished from core plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| effective renal plasma flow | <physiology> The amount of plasma flowing to the parts of the kidney that have a function in the production of constituents of urine; the clearance of substances such as iodopyracet and p-aminohippuric acid, assuming that the extraction ratio in the peritubular capillaries is 100%. It is the amount of plasma perfusing the kidney tubules per unit time, generally measured by p-aminohippurate clearance. It should be differentiated from renal plasma flow which is approximately 10% greater than the effective renal plasma flow. (07 Mar 2000) |
| two-component plasma | <radiobiology> Refers to a plasma containing a cool thermal component and a population of high energy particles (such as from neutral beam injection) which are in the process of thermalising (slowing down). (09 Oct 1997) |
| kern-plasma relation theory | A theory enunciated by Hertwig (1903) that a definite relation as to size normally exists in every cell between the mass of nuclear material and that of the protoplasm. Origin: Ger. Kern, kernel, nucleus (05 Mar 2000) |
| fresh frozen plasma | The fluid component of blood lacking the cells but containing all the necessary plasma proteins, used to restore the protein clotting factors in some individuals with clotting factor deficiencies. (27 Sep 1997) |
| abortion rate | The number of abortions per 1000 terminated pregnancies during a given period of time. (05 Mar 2000) |
| age-specific rate | A rate for a specified age group, in which the numerator and denominator refer to the same age group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| attack rate | A cumulative incidence rate used for particular groups observed for limited periods under special circumstances, such as during an epidemic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| average flow rate | <physiology> The flow rate determined by dividing the total volume passed in a time period divided by the time period, usually quoted in mls per minute. (05 Mar 2000) |
| backup rate | A utility charge for providing occasional electricity service to replace on-site generation. (05 Dec 1998) |
| basal metabolic rate | <biochemistry, biology> The metabolic rate as measured under basal conditions: 12 hours after eating, after a restful sleep, no exercise or activity preceding test, elimination of emotional excitement and occurring in a comfortable temperature. Acronym: BMR (15 Nov 1997) |
| baseline foetal heart rate | <paediatrics> The average heart rate for a particular foetus during the diastolic phase of uterine contractions. (05 Mar 2000) |
