| plasma protein | <haematology> One of the hundreds of different proteins present in blood plasma, including carrier proteins (such albumin, transferrin and haptoglobin), fibrinogen and other coagulation factors, complement components, immunoglobulins, enzyme inhibitors, precursors of substances such as angiotension and bradykinin and many other types of proteins. (14 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| plasma proteins | Dissolved protein's (more than 100) of blood plasma, mainly albumins and globulins (normally 6 to 8 g/100 ml); they hold fluid in blood vessels by osmosis and include antibodies and blood-clotting protein's. Synonym: serum proteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma renin activity | The estimation of renin in plasma by measuring the rate of formation of angiotensin I or II. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma scalpel | A scalpel that uses a fine high-temperature gas jet, instead of a blade, for cutting. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma stain | <technique> Plasmatic stainplasmic stain, a stain whose principal affinity is for the cytoplasm of cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma substitute | A solution of a substance (e.g., dextran) used for transfusion in haemorrhage or shock as a substitute for plasma. Synonym: plasma expander. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma substitutes | Any liquid used to replace blood plasma, usually a saline solution, often with serum albumins, dextrans or other preparations. These substances do not enhance the oxygen- carrying capacity of blood, but merely replace the volume. They are also used to treat dehydration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| plasma therapy | Treatment with plasma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma thromboplastin antecedent | <chemical> Stable blood coagulation factor involved in the intrinsic pathway. The activated form xia activates factor ix to ixa. Deficiency of factor xi is often called haemophilia c. Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor XI (12 Dec 1998) |
| plasma thromboplastin component | <chemical> Storage-stable blood coagulation factor acting in the intrinsic pathway. Its activated form, ixa, forms a complex with factor viii and calcium on platelet factor 3 to activate factor x to xa. Deficiency of factor ix results in christmas disease (haemophilia b). Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor IX (12 Dec 1998) |
| plasma thromboplastin factor | A coagulation (clotting) factor. Classic haemophilia (haemophilia A) is due to a congenital deficiency in the amount (or activity) of factor VIII. Factor VIII is also known as antihemophiliac factor (AHF) or antihemophiliac globulin (AHG). The gene for factor VIII (that for classic haemophilia) is on the X chromosome so females can be silent carriers without symptoms and males can be haemophiliacs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| plasma thromboplastin factor B | <chemical> Storage-stable blood coagulation factor acting in the intrinsic pathway. Its activated form, ixa, forms a complex with factor viii and calcium on platelet factor 3 to activate factor x to xa. Deficiency of factor ix results in christmas disease (haemophilia b). Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor IX (12 Dec 1998) |
| plasma volume | Volume of plasma in the circulation. It is usually measured by indicator dilution techniques. (12 Dec 1998) |
| plasma wave | <physics> A disturbance of a plasma away from equilibrium, involving oscillations of the plasma's constituent particles and of an electromagnetic field. Plasma waves can propagate from one point in the plasma to another without net motion of the plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| muscle plasma | An alkaline fluid in muscle that is spontaneously coagulable, separating into myosin and muscle serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
