The air inhaled and exhaled in respiration, air which, in the process of respiration, has parted with oxygen and has received carbonic acid, aqueous vapor, warmth, etc. "Melted as breath into the wind." (Shak) 2. The act of breathing naturally or freely; the power or capacity to breathe freely; as, I am out of breath. 3. The power of respiration, and hence, life.

| breath analysis test | A test of hepatic and intestinal absorptive function; aminopyrine labelled with radioactive carbon is administered orally; expired 14CO2 is a measure of aminopyrine absorption and its metabolism in the liver; a measurement of the amount of 14CO2 exhaled after an oral dose of 14C-O-xylose; a measurement of exhaled hydrogen gas following an oral dose of lactose as a test of lactose deficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| breath-holding | Voluntary or involuntary cessation of breathing; often seen in young children as a response to frustration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| breath-holding test | A rough index of cardiopulmonary reserve measured by the length of time that a subject can voluntarily stop breathing; normal duration is 30 seconds or more; diminished cardiac or pulmonary reserve is indicated by a duration of 20 seconds or less. (05 Mar 2000) |
| breath tests | Any tests done on exhaled air. (12 Dec 1998) |
| shortness of breath | Difficulty breathing. (27 Sep 1997) |
| uraemic breath | Characteristic odour of the breath in patients with chronic renal failure, variously described as "fishy," "ammoniacal," and "fetid," which is indicative of the systemic accumulation of volatile metabolites, usually excreted in the urine; dimethylamine and trimethylamine have been identified and correlated with the classic fishy odour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| urea breath test | A test for the presence of the bacteria helicobacter pylori that causes inflammation and ulcers in the stomach. The breath test is based on the ability of h. Pylori to break down urea. Ten minutes after swallowing a capsule containing urea with labelled carbon, a breath sample is collected to detect labelled carbon in the exhaled breath. A positive test indicates active infection. The test turns negative after eradication of the bacteria from the stomach with antibiotics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| liver breath | A peculiar odour to the breath in persons with severe liver disease; caused by volatile aromatic substances that accumulate in the blood and urine due to defective hepatic metabolism. Synonym: liver breath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anvil sound | In cases of a large pulmonary cavity or of pneumothorax, a clear metallic sound obtained by striking a coin, held against the chest, by another coin, or by flicking the chest wall with one's fingernail; the sound is heard on auscultating the chest wall on the same side anteroposteriorly. Synonym: anvil sound, bell sound, coin test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atrial sound | The sound produced in late diastole in association with ventricular filling due to atrial systole and related to reduced ventricular compliance. It is a low frequency oscillation that may be normal at older ages owing to a physiologic decline in ventricular compliance but is nearly always abnormal at younger ages if it is of high intensity or palpable. It is common in ventricular hypertrophy, particularly with hypertension, and is almost invariable during acute myocardial infarction. Fourth heart sounds may arise from the right or left ventricle or both. Synonym: atrial sound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| auscultatory sound | A rale, murmur, bruit, fremitus, or other sound heard on auscultation of the chest or abdomen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bell sound | In cases of a large pulmonary cavity or of pneumothorax, a clear metallic sound obtained by striking a coin, held against the chest, by another coin, or by flicking the chest wall with one's fingernail; the sound is heard on auscultating the chest wall on the same side anteroposteriorly. Synonym: anvil sound, bell sound, coin test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Campbell sound | A miniature sound with a short round-tipped beak, especially curved for the deep urethra of the young male. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cannon sound | The loud first heart sound heard intermittently in complete atrioventricular block and in interference-dissociation when the ventricles happen to contract shortly after the atria. Synonym: cannon sound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| breath sounds |
