Adverse effectA harmful or abnormal result. An adverse effect may be caused by administration of a medication or by exposure to a chemical and be indicated by an untoward result such as by illness or death.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------

Death

The permanent cessation of all vital bodily functions. (This definition depends upon the definition of "vital bodily functions.") See: Vital bodily functions. 3. The common law standard for determining death is the cessation of all vital functions, traditionally demonstrated by "an absence of spontaneous respiratory and cardiac functions." 4.

Adventitia
"The outermost connective tissue covering of any organ, vessel, or other structure. For example, the connective tissue that surrounds an artery is called the adventitia because it is considered extraneous to the artery. ""Adventitia"" comes from the Latin ""adventicius"" meaning ""foreign, strange, extraneous, coming from abroad or from outside."" Other English words that stem from ""advenire"" include ""adventure"" and ""avenue."" A related term is ""adventititious"" meaning ""coming from an external source or occurring in an unusual place or manner."" When a doctor or nurse listens to the chest or abdomen, adventitious sounds are those that are normally not heard coming from the chest or abdomen."
Adventitious
"Coming from an external source or occurring in an unusual place or manner. Not inherent, inherited or innate but rather occurring accidentally or spontaneously. When a doctor or nurse auscults (listens to) the chest or abdomen, adventitious sounds are those that are normally not heard coming from the chest or abdomen. The word ""adventitious"" comes from the Latin ""adventicius"" meaning ""foreign, strange, extraneous, coming from abroad or from outside."" This, in turn, comes from the verb ""advenire"" meaning ""to come to"" or ""to arrive."" Other English words that stem from ""advenire"" include ""adventure,"" ""avenue,"" and the medical term ""adventitia."""
