| Barany's caloric test | A test for vestibular function, made by irrigating the external auditory meatus with either hot or cold water; this normally causes stimulation of the vestibular apparatus, resulting in nystagmus and past-pointing; in vestibular disease, the response may be reduced or absent. Synonym: caloric test, nystagmus test. (05 Mar 2000) |

| caloric | 1. Relating to a calorie. 2. Relating to heat. Origin: L. Calor, heat Caloric intake, the total number of calories in a daily diet allocation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caloric nystagmus | Jerky nystagmus induced by labyrinthine stimulation with warm or cold water injected into the ear canal. (27 Sep 1997) |
| caloric test | A test for vestibular function, made by irrigating the external auditory meatus with either hot or cold water; this normally causes stimulation of the vestibular apparatus, resulting in nystagmus and past-pointing; in vestibular disease, the response may be reduced or absent. Synonym: caloric test, nystagmus test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caloric tests | Elicitation of a rotatory nystagmus by stimulating the saemicircular canals with water or air which is above or below body temperature. In warm caloric stimulation a rotatory nystagmus is developed toward the side of the stimulated ear; in cold, away from the stimulated side. Absence of nystagmus indicates the labyrinth is not functioning. (12 Dec 1998) |
| caloric value | The heat evolved by a food when burnt or metabolised. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ayala's quotient | The cerebrospinal index when 10 ml of cerebrospinal fluid have been removed. Synonym: Ayala's quotient, spinal quotient. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reaction quotient | <chemistry> A constant represented by the symbol Q which is defined as the product of the concentrations of the products, each raised to the power that corresponds to its coefficient in the balanced equation, divided by the product of the concentrations of reactants, each raised to the power that corresponds to its coefficient in the balanced equation (see the equation in the equations page). at equilibrium conditions Q=K, the equilibrium constant. (09 Jan 1998) |
| respiratory quotient | <physiology> Molar ratio of carbon dioxide production to oxygen consumption. (18 Nov 1997) |
| growth quotient | <biology> The fractional part or percentage of the entire food energy which is utilised for growth in the young animal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Meyerhof oxidation quotient | <biochemistry> An index for the effect of oxygen on glycolysis and on fermentation (i.e., on the Pasteur effect); equal to the rate of anaerobic fermentation minus the rate of aerobic respiration divided by the rate of oxygen uptake. (21 Jun 2000) |
| cognitive laterality quotient | <psychology> Test for difference in cognitive performance of left and right sides of the brain. (21 Jun 2000) |
| P/O quotient | A measure of oxidative phosphorylation; the ratio of phosphate radicals esterified (forming adenosine 5'-triphosphate from adenosine 5'-diphosphate) to atoms of oxygen consumed by mitochondria; normally, the ratio is 3 (starting from NADH). Synonym: P/O quotient. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protein quotient | The number obtained by dividing the quantity of globulin of the blood plasma by the quantity of albumin. Respiratory quotient (R.Q.), the steady state ratio of carbon dioxide produced by tissue metabolism to oxygen consumed in the same metabolism; for the whole body, normally about 0.82 under basal conditions; in the steady state, the respiratory quotient is equal to the respiratory exchange ratio. Synonym: respiratory coefficient. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spinal quotient | The cerebrospinal index when 10 ml of cerebrospinal fluid have been removed. Synonym: Ayala's quotient, spinal quotient. (05 Mar 2000) |
