Allogeneic transplantation
|
|
Allogeneic transplantation To transfer a tissue or organ genetically different although belonging to or obtained from the same species.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Tissue
Biological tissue is a group of cells that perform a similar function.The study of tissues is known as histology, or, in connection with disease, histopathology.The classical tools for studying the tissues are the wax block, the tissue stain, and the optical microscope, though developments in electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and frozen sections have all added to the sum of knowledge in the last couple of decades.
Organ
A structural unit of an animal or plant that serves a specific function.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Allodynia
Pain due to a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain.
Alloerotic
Having to do with sexual excitement toward the same sex. The opposite is heteroerotic.
Allogeneic
Having a genetic dissimilarity within the same species.
Allogeneic graft
See: Allograft.
Allograft
A tissue transplant (graft) between two genetically nonidentical members of a species.
Allograft (allogenic graft or homograft)
An organ or tissue transplanted from one individual to another of the same species, i.e. human to human.
Allopath
Or allopathist. A term sometimes applied to a physician who practices conventional medicine (allopathy).
Allopathic
Pertaining to allopathy (conventional medicine). The term was coined in 1842 by C.F.S. Hahnemann to designate the usual practice of medicine as opposed to homeopathy, the system of therapy that he founded.
Allopathic medicine
"The system of medical practice which treats disease by the use of remedies which produce effects different from those produced by the disease under treatment. MDs practice allopathic medicine. Also called conventional medicine. The term ""allopathy"" was coined in 1842 by C.F.S. Hahnemann to designate the usual practice of medicine (allopathy) as opposed to homeopathy, the system of therapy that he founded based on the concept that disease can be treated with drugs (in minute doses) thought capable of producing the same symptoms in healthy people as the disease itself."

Alloplastic
Referring to adaptation by means of altering the external environment. This can be contrasted to autoplastic, which refers to the alteration of one's own behavior and responses.
Allopurinol
Allopurinol is a prescription or over-the-counter drug which is (or once was) legal in the United States and possibly in other countries. Active ingredient(s): allopurinol .
Allopurinol sodium
Allopurinol sodium is a prescription or over-the-counter drug which is (or once was) legal in the United States and possibly in other countries. Active ingredient(s): allopurinol sodium .
Allosex-aviodancy
a socially dictated constraint on personal disclosure to members of the other, but not one's own, sex. It affects both behavior (as in locker-room nudity, for example) and communication, as in sexual joking
Allotypes
Antigenic determinants that are present in allelic (alternate) forms. When used in association with immunoglobulin, allotypes describe allelic variants of immunoglobulins detected by antibodies raised between members of the same species.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
A protein produced by a developing fetus that is present in amniotic fluid and, in smaller amounts, in a pregnant woman's blood. Abnormal levels of AFP found in a blood test between the 15th and 18th weeks of pregnancy can indicate abnormalities in the fetus.
Aerophagia
A condition that occurs when a person swallows too much air; causes gas and frequent belching.
Alactasia
An inherited condition causing the lack of the enzyme needed to digest milk sugar.
Alimentary canal
Gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Allodynia
Pain due to a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain.
Allogeneic transplantation
Amniotic fluid
Clear liquid that surrounds and protects the fetus throughout pregnancy.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
A terminal neurological disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of motor cells in the spinal cord and brain. It is often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease."
Anal fissure
A small tear in the anus that may cause itching, pain, or bleeding.
Anal fistula
A channel that develops between the anus and the skin. Most fistulas are the result of an abscess (infection) that spreads to the skin.
