| ort-a-cath | A device surgically implanted under the skin, usually on the chest, that enters a large blood vessel and is used to deliver medication, chemotherapy, blood products and also is used to obtain blood samples. A port is usually inserted if a person has veins in the arm which are difficult to use for treatment or if certain types of chemotherapy drugs are to be given. (09 Oct 1997) |

| silicone | Any of many polymers made up of alternating oxygen and silicon atomscombined with other organic groups. Silicone can be an oil, grease, gelor plastic, but all forms are resistant to heat, water and will notconduct electricity. It is used for a huge number of uses in industry (lubricants, paints, adhesives, coolants, etc.) Silicone is used inmedicine to replace body parts, and its use in breast implants has comeunder fire because there is evidence that these appliances may leak, andfurther evidence that leaked silicone may cause autoimmune disorders. (09 Oct 1997) |
| silicone elastomers | Polymers of silicone having properties similar to those of vulcanised natural rubber, namely the ability to be stretched to at least twice their original length and to retract very rapidly to approximately their original length when released. (12 Dec 1998) |
| silicone implant | Implant composed of silicone; common form of breast implant for augmentation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| silicone oils | Organic siloxanes which are polymerised to the oily stage. The oils have low surface tension and density less than 1. They are used in industrial applications and in the treatment of retinal detachment, complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| histoplasmin-latex test | A passive agglutination test for histoplasmosis; latex particles, sensitised with antigen extracted from Histoplasma capsulatum, are used in a flocculation reaction with the patient's serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latex | A viscous fluid exuded from the cut surfaces of the leaves and stems of certain plants, such as the dandelion or the rubber tree. A rubber made from such plant sap. (09 Oct 1997) |
| latex agglutination | Also known as latex particle agglutination, for detection of antibodies is identical to haemagglutination in principle, but the substitution of smaller, antigen-coated latex particles for erythrocytes results in improved sensitivity and reagent longevity. Alternatively, antibodies can be absorbed to the latex particles (under appropriate ionic and pH conditions) by binding to the Fc region of antibodies, leaving the Fab region free to interact with antigens present in the applied specimens. This phenomenon has made latex agglutination a popular technique for detecting antigens as well. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latex agglutination test | A passive agglutination test in which antigen is adsorbed onto latex particles which then clump in the presence of antibody specific for the adsorbed antigen. Synonym: latex fixation test. (05 Mar 2000) |
