| near point | That point in conjugate focus with the retina when the eye exerts maximal accommodation. Synonym: punctum proximum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| near point of convergence | The point to which the visual lines are directed when convergence is at its maximum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| near point of the eye | <ophthalmology> The nearest point to the entrance of the pupil of the normal eye at which focus is attained without strain, 10 inches (250 mm) is the generally accepted distance. In very young people and in those with myopia, this distance is less. The near point recedes with age, possibly even causing farsighted condition,. (05 Aug 1998) |
| pupillary light-near dissociation | A stronger near pupil response than light response; due to weak pupillomotor input, Argyll Robertson pupil, dorsal midbrain syndrome, or to misdirection of ciliary muscle fibres into the iris sphincter. Synonym: light-near dissociation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spectroscopy, near-infrared | A noninvasive technique that uses the differential absorption properties of haemoglobin and myoglobin to evaluate tissue oxygenation and indirectly can measure regional haemodynamics and blood flow. Near-infrared light (nir) can propagate through tissues and at particular wavelengths is differentially absorbed by oxgenated vs. Deoxygenated forms of haemoglobin and myoglobin. Illumination of intact tissue with nir allows qualitative assessment of changes in the tissue concentration of these molecules. The analysis is also used to determine body composition.

| near | 1. Not far distant in time, place, or degree; not remote; close at hand; adjacent; neighboring; nigh. "As one near death." "He served great Hector, and was ever near, Not with his trumpet only, but his spear." (Dryden) 2. Closely connected or related. "She is thy father's near kinswoman." (Lev. Xviii. 12) 3. Close to one's interests, affection, etc.; touching, or affecting intimately; intimate; dear; as, a near friend. 4. Close to anything followed or imitated; not free, loose, or rambling; as, a version near to the original. 5. So as barely to avoid or pass injury or loss; close; narrow; as, a near escape. 6. Next to the driver, when he is on foot; in the Unted States, on the left of an animal or a team; as, the near ox; the near leg. See Off side, under Off, . 7. Immediate; direct; close; short. "The nearest way." 8. Close-fisted; parsimonious. Near may properly be followed by to before the thing approached'; but more frequently to is omitted, and the adjective or the adverb is regarded as a preposition. The same is also true of the word nigh. Synonym: Nigh, close, adjacent, proximate, contiguous, present, ready, intimate, dear. Origin: See Near. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| near drowning | Any almost drowning. All cases should be evaluated by a physician. Complications include aspiration pneumonia and adult respiratory distress syndrome. (27 Sep 1997) |
| near reaction | The pupillary constriction associated with a near vision effort, i.e., with accommodation and convergence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| near reflex | Pupillary constriction with a near vision effort, with ocular convergence, or with accommodation; an associated reaction, not a true reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| near sight | <ophthalmology> That error of refraction in which rays of light entering the eye parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the retina, as a result of the eyeball being too long from front to back (axial myopia) or of an increased strength in refractive power of the media of the eye (index myopia). Also called nearsightedness, because the near point is less distant than it is in emmetropia with an equal amplitude of accommodation. Origin: Gr. Myein = to shut (18 Nov 1997) |
| near-total thyroidectomy | Removal of nearly all of each thyroid lobe leaving unresected only a small portion of gland adjacent to the entrance of the recurrent laryngeal nerve into the larynx. (05 Mar 2000) |
| far-and-near suture | A suture utilizing alternate near and far stitches, used to approximate fascial edges. (05 Mar 2000) |
| light-near dissociation | A stronger near pupil response than light response; due to weak pupillomotor input, Argyll Robertson pupil, dorsal midbrain syndrome, or to misdirection of ciliary muscle fibres into the iris sphincter. Synonym: light-near dissociation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absolute | 1. Loosed from any limitation or condition; uncontrolled; unrestricted; unconditional; as, absolute authority, monarchy, sovereignty, an absolute promise or command; absolute power; an absolute monarch. 2. Complete in itself; perfect; consummate; faultless; as, absolute perfection; absolute beauty. "So absolute she seems, And in herself complete." (Milton) 3. Viewed apart from modifying influences or without comparison with other objects; actual; real; opposed to relative and comparative; as, absolute motion; absolute time or space. Absolute rights and duties are such as pertain to man in a state of nature as contradistinguished from relative rights and duties, or such as pertain to him in his social relations. 4. Loosed from, or unconnected by, dependence on any other being; self-existent; self-sufficing. In this sense God is called the Absolute by the Theist. The term is also applied by the Pantheist to the universe, or the total of all existence, as only capable of relations in its parts to each other and to the whole, and as dependent for its existence and its phenomena on its mutually depending forces and their laws. 5. Capable of being thought or conceived by itself alone; unconditioned; non-relative. It is in dispute among philosopher whether the term, in this sense, is not applied to a mere logical fiction or abstraction, or whether the absolute, as thus defined, can be known, as a reality, by the human intellect. "To Cusa we can indeed articulately trace, word and thing, the recent philosophy of the absolute." (Sir W. Hamilton) 6. Positive; clear; certain; not doubtful. "I am absolute 't was very Cloten." (Shak) 7. Authoritative; peremptory. "The peddler stopped, and tapped her on the head, With absolute forefinger, brown and ringed." (Mrs. Browning) 8. <chemistry> Pure; unmixed; as, absolute alcohol. 9. Not immediately dependent on the other parts of the sentence in government; as, the case absolute. See Ablative absolute, under Ablative. <geometry> Absolute curvature, the sum of the optic and eccentric equations. <physics> Absolute space, space considered without relation to material limits or objects. Absolute terms. <mathematics> The be ginning, or zero point, in the scale of absolute temperature. It is equivalent to -273 deg centigrade or -459.4 deg Fahrenheit. Synonym: Positive, peremptory, certain, unconditional, unlimited, unrestricted, unqualified, arbitrary, despotic, autocratic. Origin: L. Absolutus, p. P. Of absolvere: cf. F. Absolu. See Absolve. <geometry> In a plane, the two imaginary circular points at infinity; in space of three dimensions, the imaginary circle at infinity. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| absolute agraphia | Agraphia in which not even unconnected letters can be written. Synonym: atactic agraphia, literal agraphia. (05 Mar 2000) |
