| pulse field electrophoresis | <investigation> A method used for high resolution electrophoretic separation of very large (megabase) fragments of DNA. Electric fields 100 |
| pulse-field gel electrophoresis | Gel electrophoresis in which, after electrophoretic migration has begun, the current is briefly stopped and reapplied in a different orientation; allows for the purification of long DNA molecules. Synonym: pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse generator | A device that produces an electrical discharge with a regular or rhythmic wave form in which the electromotive force varies in a specific pattern in relation to time; e.g., in an electronic pacemaker, it produces an electric discharge at regular intervals, and these intervals may be modified by a sensory circuit which can reset the time-base for subsequent discharge on the basis of other electrical activity, such as that produced by spontaneous cardiac beating. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse granuloma | <pathology> An inflammatory infiltrate containing foreign body giant cells and eosinophilic material. Fragments of foreign material resembling vegetable matter may be included. Synonym: pulse granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse height analyzer | Electronic circuitry that determines the energy of scintillations recorded by a detector, allowing use of a discriminator to select for photons of a specific type. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse period | The reciprocal of the repetition rate; e.g., the interval between leading edges of successive pulses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse pressure | The variation in blood pressure occurring in an artery during the cardiac cycle; it is the difference between the systolic or maximum and diastolic or minimum pressure's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse radiolysis | Use of a pulse of X-rays or fast electrons to generate free radicals for spectroscopic examination. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulse rate | Rate of the pulse as observed in an artery; recorded as beats per minute. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse therapy | A short, intensive course of pharmacotherapy, usually given at intervals such as weekly or monthly; often used in chemotherapy of malignancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse wave | The progressive expansion of the arteries occurring with each contraction of the left ventricle of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sequence pulse | In magnetic resonance imaging, the series of radiofrequency signals used to shift the magnetic field to change proton orientation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| soft pulse | A pulse that is readily extinguished by pressure with the finger. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nail pulse | A capillary pulse seen through the nail. (05 Mar 2000) |
