| rational | 1. Relating to reason; not physical; mental. "Moral philosophy was his chiefest end; for the rational, the natural, and mathematics . . . Were but simple pastimes in comparison of the other." (Sir T. North) 2. Having reason, or the faculty of reasoning; endowed with reason or understanding; reasoning. "It is our glory and happiness to have a rational nature." (Law) 3. Agreeable to reason; not absurd, preposterous, extravagant, foolish, fanciful, or the like; wise; judicious; as, rational conduct; a rational man. 4. <chemistry> Expressing the type, structure, relations, and reactions of a compound; graphic; said of formulae. See Formula. Rational horizon. <astronomy> See Horizon, 2 . <mathematics> Rational quantity, one elicited by the statements of the patient himself and not as the result of a physical examination. Synonym: Sane, sound, intelligent, reasonable, sensible, wise, discreet, judicious. Rational, reasonable. Rational has reference to reason as a faculty of the mind, and is opposed to traditional; as, a rational being, a rational state of mind, rational views, etc. In these cases the speculative reason is more particularly, referred to. Reasonable has reference to the exercise of this faculty for practical purposes, and means, governed or directed by reason; as, reasonable prospect of success. "What higher in her society thou find'st Attractive, human, rational, love still." (Milton) "A law may be reasonable in itself, although a man does not allow it, or does not know the reason of the lawgivers." (Swift) Origin: L. Rationalis: cf. F. Rationnel. See Ratio, Reason, and cf. Rationale. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| rational drug design | <pharmacology> Modeling the molecular structure of the target of a drug, for example, an antigen, and then designing a drug that will attack it. (17 Dec 1997) |
| rational formula | In chemistry, a formula that indicates the constitution as well as the composition of a substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rational surface | <physics> Magnetic flux surface where the ratio of toroidal to poloidal field strengths is a rational number, this means that a particle travelling along this surface makes an integer number of turns in each direction and then its orbit closes in on itself. The result is that the particle does not sample the entire flux surface in its motion, which is important for various technical reasons (which mostly result in reduced confinement). See: magnetic island. (09 Oct 1997) |
| rational therapy | Therapeutic procedures introduced by Albert Ellis and based on the premise that lack of information or illogical thought patterns are basic causes of a patient's difficulties; it is assumed that the patient can be assisted in overcoming his or her problems by a direct, prescriptive, advice-giving approach by the therapist.

| glaucoma treatment | A laser beam of light is focused on the part of the anterior chamber where the fluid leaves the eye. This results in a series of small changes, which makes it easier for fluid to exit the eye. Over time, the effect of laser surgery may wear off. Patients who have this form of surgery may need to keep taking glaucoma drugs. Although glaucoma cannot be cured, it can usually be controlled. Medical treatment can be in the form of eyedrops or pills. Some drugs are designed to reduce pressure by slowing the flow of fluid into the eye, while others help to improve fluid drainage. The regular use of medications usually controls the increased fluid pressure. However, these drugs may stop working over time or they may cause side effects so that the eye care professional may select other drugs, change the dose, or use other means to deal with the glaucoma. Surgery can also help fluid escape from the eye and thereby reduce the pressure. However, surgery is now usually reserved for patients whose pressure cannot be controlled with eyedrops, pills, or laser surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| medical treatment | Treatment of disease by hygienic and pharmacologic remedies, as distinguished from invasive surgical procedures. (05 Mar 2000) |
