English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases
  • Nervous System
CONT

Patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension secondary to CSF [cerebrospinal fluid] leak may demonstrate MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] evidence of secondary tonsillar descent [...]

CONT

Patients with an occult CSF [cerebrospinal fluid] leak may have little or only transient relief of their symptoms following posterior fossa decompressive surgery. This form of secondary tonsillar descent may also be encountered in patients who have undergone lumboperitoneal shunting.

Record 3 2011-10-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Heart
CONT

Variant angina, originally described by Printzmetal, is characterized by rest pain accompanied by transient ST segment changes(often ST elevation resembling acute myocardial infarction, although ST depression can also occur) and ventricular arrhythmias. Variant angina is a form of unstable angina caused by coronary arterial spasm, usually within a coronary artery narrowed by plaque, but occasionally within an angiographically normal appearing artery.

Key term(s)
  • Prinzmetal’s angina
  • Prinzmetal angina
  • Printzmetal’s angina
  • Printzmetal angina

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cœur
CONT

L'angor de repos : [...] l'une de ses formes, l'angor de Prinzmetal, est un angor lié au spasme des artères coronaires; il survient la nuit, souvent à heure fixe, s'accentue progressivement jusqu'à un maximum où apparaissent des palpitations, des lipothymies (sensations d'évanouissement), des syncopes (pertes de connaissance), puis il s'atténue progressivement.

Key term(s)
  • angor de Prinzmetal
  • angor de Printzmetal

Record 4 2002-02-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

To subject to hydrolysis.

CONT

Enzymes sometimes form transient covalent bonds with their substrates. In one example, a carboxyl group in a polypeptide chain forms a covalent bond at an activated serine residue of a protease as the backbone chain is broken. When the unbound portion of the polypeptide chain has diffused away, a second step occurs in which a water molecule hydrolyzes the newly formed covalent bond, thereby releasing the portion of the polypeptide bound to the enzyme surface and restoring a hydrogen atom to the serine.

OBS

See "hydrolysis".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Soumettre à l'hydrolyse.

CONT

Des développements liés à la mise en évidence récente d'enzymes capables d'hydrolyser spécifiquement certains composés organophosphorés [...] peuvent actuellement être envisagés. Ces enzymes devraient permettre d'une part de doser spécifiquement l'un ou l'autre des composés organophosphorés présents dans un échantillon, et d'autre part de détoxifier un milieu contaminé par l'un de ces composés.

DEF

Respuesta transitoria inicial a un impulso o cambio unidireccional aplicado a la entrada de un circuito o un dispositivo, y que precede, con sentido opuesto, a la transición principal.

Record 6 2000-09-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Graphic Arts and Printing
DEF

Image of short duration; momentary; passing.

CONT

Transient images are first cousins of the latent image, with which they are generally combined. In their simplest form they are created as overprintings to a latent image.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Imprimerie et arts graphiques
DEF

Images qui viennent en superpositions lorsqu'on imprime.

CONT

Parmi les autres éléments de sécurité, notons les images latentes et fantômes.

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Geophysics
  • Radio Waves
CONT

There are two basic types of auroral disturbance.... those generated by transient or explosive activity on the visible surface of the Sun, typically solar flares, the frequency of which tends to increase or decrease according to the 11 year sunspot cycle [and those] generated by the continuous streams of particles emanating from the active regions of the sun that spray the earth each time the sun rotates. Typical regions are the coronal holes which are most active in the declining years of the sunspot cycle so that this type of aurora is most frequent after sunspot maximum. Such aurorae are quieter in form, may repeat themselves for several nights on end and then recur 27 days later after on rotation of the sun.

DEF

Data which have been processed, coded, manipulated, or sorted and organized for retrieval or other processing.

CONT

The data produced by an experimental instrument is seldom directly usable. It usually needs some kind of scaling, noise filtering, time integration, or other treatment. A properly equipped computer can also display the reduced data either in hard copy form... or in a transient visual form.
