| warm agglutinins | Antibody that reacts with an antigen that is a normal component of the body. Obviously this can lead to some problems and autoimmunity has been proposed as a causative factor in a number of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. See: systemic lupus erythematosus, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, myasthenia gravis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| warm antibody | <haematology, immunology> most IgG antibodies react better at 37C than at lower temperatures, especially against red cell antigens. These are the warm antibodies as contrasted with cold agglutinins, especially IgM, that agglutinate below 28C. (18 Nov 1997) |
| warm autoantibody | An autoantibody that reacts optimally at 37°C. (05 Mar 2000) |
| warm-blooded | <physiology> Having warm blood; applied especially to those animals, as birds and mammals, which have warm blood, or, more properly, the power of maintaining a nearly uniform temperature whatever the temperature of the surrounding air. See Homoiothermal. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| warm-blooded animal | <biology, zoology> An organism that maintains a constant internal body temperature. (09 Oct 1997) |
| warm-cold haemolysin | Haemolysin which combines with red blood cells at temperatures below 20°C and are eluted at warmer temperatures, e.g., 30 to 37°C. See: Donath-Landsteiner cold autoantibody, haemagglutinating cold autoantibody. (05 Mar 2000) |
| warm-hearted | Having strong affection; cordial; sincere; hearty; sympathetic. Warm"-heartedness. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| soapy warm soaks | A mild dish soap in a lukewarm solution can be very effect in passive debridement of (removing dead tissue and debris) a wound. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Arantius' nodule | A nodule at the centre of the free border of each semilunar valve at the beginning of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Synonym: nodulus valvulae semilunaris, Arantius' nodule, Bianchi's nodule, corpus arantii, Morgagni's nodule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bianchi's nodule | A nodule at the centre of the free border of each semilunar valve at the beginning of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Synonym: nodulus valvulae semilunaris, Arantius' nodule, Bianchi's nodule, corpus arantii, Morgagni's nodule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recombination nodule | <molecular biology> Protein containing assemblies of about 90 nm diameter placed at intervals in the synaptonemal complexes that develop between homologous chromosomes at the zygotene stage of meiosis. Some nodules may be associated with the site of recombination. (18 Nov 1997) |
| rheumatic nodule | A small round or oval, mostly subcutaneous nodule made up chiefly of a mass of aschoff bodies and seen in cases of rheumatic fever. It is differentiated from the rheumatoid nodule which appears in rheumatoid arthritis, most frequently over bony prominences. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rheumatoid nodule | Subcutaneous nodules seen in 20-30% of rheumatoid arthritis patients. They may arise anywhere on the body, but are most frequently found over the bony prominences. The nodules are characterised histologically by dense areas of fibrinoid necrosis with basophilic streaks and granules, surrounded by a palisade of cells, mainly fibroblasts and histiocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| root nodule | <plant biology> Globular structure formed on the roots of certain plants, notably legumes and alder, by symbiotic association between the plant and a nitrogen fixing microorganism (Rhizobium in the case of legumes and Frankia in the case of alder and a variety of other plants).
