| acceptable daily intake | <pharmacology> This is an estimate of the amount of a substance in food that can be ingested daily over a lifetime by humans without appreciable health risk. The concept of the acceptable daily intake has been developed principally by who and FAO and is relevant to chemicals such as additives to foods, residues of pesticides and veterinary drugs in foods. Acceptable daily intakes are derived from laboratory toxicity data, and from human experiences of such chemicals when this is available, and incorporate a safety factor. The acceptable daily intake is thus an estimate of the amount of a substance in food that can be ingested over a lifetime by humans without significant risk to health (for contaminants in food and drinking water, tolerable intakes - daily or weekly - are used). See: tolerable daily intake. (15 Jan 1998) |

| activities of daily living | The things we normally do in daily living including any daily activity we perform for self-care (such as feeding ourselves, bathing, dressing, grooming), work, homemaking, and leisure. The ability or inability to perform ADLs can be used as a very practical measure of ability/disability in many disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| activities of daily living scale | A scale to score physical activity and its limitations, based on answers to simple questions about mobility, self-care, grooming, etc; widely used in geriatrics, rheumatology, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| daily dose | The total amount of a remedy that is to be taken within 24 hours. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tolerable daily intake | TDIs are applied to chemical contaminants in food and drinking water. The presence of contaminants is unwanted and they have no useful function, differing from additives and residues where there is or was deliberate use resulting in their presence. TDIs are calculated on the basis of laboratory toxicity data with the application of uncertainty factors. A TDI is therefore an estimate of the amount of a substance (contaminant) in food or drinking water that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without a significant health risk. (09 Oct 1997) |
| conjugate deviation of the eyes | Rotation of the eyes equally and simultaneously in the same direction, as occurs normally, a condition in which both eyes are turned to the same side as a result of either paralysis or muscular spasm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjugate movement of eyes | Rotation of the two eyes in the same direction. See: version. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crossed eyes | <clinical sign> A deviation of the eye which the patient cannot overcome. The visual axes assume a position relative to each other different from that required by the physiological conditions. The various forms of strabismus are spoken of as tropias, their direction being indicated by the appropriate prefix, as cyclo tropia, esotropia, exotropia, hypertropia and hypotropia. Also called cast, heterotropia, manifest deviation and squint. Origin: Gr. Strabismos = a squinting (18 Nov 1997) |
| spectacle eyes | A condition in rats caused by pantothenic acid deficiency, and possibly lack of inositol as well, in which a hairless ring of inflamed skin surrounds the eye's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nine-eyes | <zoology> The lamprey. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| disconjugate movement of eyes | Rotation of the two eyes in opposite directions, as in convergence or divergence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eyes, cataracts | Clouding of the lens portion of the eye. Cataracts will affect most people if they live long enough. Symptoms include double or blurred vision and sensitivity to light and glare. Cataracts can be diagnosed when the doctor examines the eyes with a viewing instrument. The ideal treatment for cataracts is surgical implantation of a new lens. Sunglasses can help to prevent cataracts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eyes, glaucoma | Disease (there is more than one type) characterised by increased pressure within the eye. Glaucoma can lead to blindness. Glaucoma is five times more likely to occur in Blacks than in Whites. Early detection of glaucoma is essential to the preservation of vision. Glaucoma can be treated with medications, laser or traditional surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigen-sensitive cell | A small lymphocyte that, although not itself an immunologically activated cell, responds to antigenic (immunogenic) stimulus by a process of division and differentiation that results in the production of immunologically activated cells. Synonym: antigen-responsive cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pattern sensitive epilepsy | A form of reflex epilepsy precipitated by viewing certain patterns. (05 Mar 2000) |
