| BRCA1 breast cancer susceptibility gene | This mutated (changed) version of the BRCA1 gene makes a person susceptible to developing breast cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |

| breast cancer susceptibility genes | Inherited factors that predispose to breast cancer. Put otherwise, these genes make one more susceptible to the disease and so increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Two of these genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, have been identified (and prominently publicised). Several other genes (those for the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden disease, Muir-Torre syndrome, and ataxia-telangiectasia) are also known to predispose to breast cancer. However, since all of these known breast cancer susceptibility genes together do not account for more than a minor fraction (1/5th at most) of breast cancer that clusters in families, it is clear that more breast cancer genes remain to be discovered.

| colourimetric caries susceptibility test | A colourimetric test for determining dental caries activity or susceptibility based on the rate of acid production by acidogenic oral microorganisms (e.g., lactobacillus) in a glucose medium, using bromcresol green as the indicator, and producing a colour change from green to yellow. Synonym: colourimetric caries susceptibility test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| susceptibility | Origin: Cf. F. Susceptibilite. 1. The state or quality of being susceptible; the capability of receiving impressions, or of being affected. 2. Specifically, capacity for deep feeling or emotional excitement; sensibility, in its broadest acceptation; impressibility; sensitiveness. <physics> Magnetic susceptibility, the intensity of magnetization of a body placed in a uniform megnetic field of unit strength. Synonym: Capability, sensibility, feeling, emotion. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| susceptibility testing | The determination of the ability of an antibiotic to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| disease susceptibility | A constitution or condition of the body which makes the tissues react in special ways to certain extrinsic stimuli and thus tends to make the individual more than usually susceptible to certain diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atomic | 1. Of or pertaining to atoms. 2. Extremely minute; tiny. Atomic philosophy, or Doctrine of atoms, a system which assuming that atoms are endued with gravity and motion accounted thus for the origin and formation of all things. This philosophy was first broached by Leucippus, was developed by Democritus, and afterward improved by Epicurus, and hence is sometimes denominated the Epicurean philosophy. <chemistry> Atomic theory, or the Doctrine of definite proportions, the weight of the atom of an element as compared with the weight of the atom of hydrogen, taken as a standard. Origin: Cf. F. Atomique. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| atomic absorption spectrophotometry | Determination of concentration by the ability of atoms to absorb radiant energy of specific wavelengths. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atomic bomb | <physics, radiobiology> A weapon with a large explosive power due to the sudden release of energy when the nuclei of heavy atoms such as plutonium-239 or uranium-235 are split. This fission is brought about by the bombardment of the fuel with neutrons, setting off a chain reaction. The bomb releases shock, blast, heat, light, and lethal radiation. The world's first atomic bomb was successfully tested by the United States on July 16, 1945. (13 Nov 1997) |
| atomic core | The nucleus plus the nonvalence electrons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atomic heat | The amount of heat required to raise an atom from 0 |
| atomic mass | <chemistry, physics> The mass of an atom relative to other atoms. The present-day basis of the scale of atomic weights is carbon, the most common isotope of this element has arbitrarily been assigned an atomic weight of 12. The unit of the scale is 1/12 the weight of the carbon atom or roughly the mass of one proton or one neutron. The atomic weight of any element is approximately equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in is nucleus (16 Dec 1997) |
