hydrophid venoms |
Venoms of sea snakes, hydrophiinae, found around pacific islands. The venoms contain fewer enzymes and more neuro- or myotoxins than land snakes. The neurotoxic proteins are similar to elapid small, short, or type I neurotoxins, some of which have been characterised. (12 Dec 1998) |
hydrophidae |
A family of sea snakes comprising about 50 species with flattened oar-like tails used as sculls. They are found mostly in the coastal waters of south asia and Australia. The largest reach a length of almost 9 feet but most species are only about a third as long. They are all venomous.

hydrophil |
Hydrophile A substance that is hydrophilic. (05 Mar 2000) |
hydrophilia |
A tendency of the blood and tissues to absorb fluid. Origin: hydro-+ G. Philos, fond (05 Mar 2000) |
hydrophilic |
<chemistry> Readily absorbing moisture, hygroscopic, having strongly polar groups that readily interact with water. (18 Nov 1997) |
hydrophilic colloid |
A colloidal dispersion in which the dispersed particles are more or less liquid and exert a certain attraction on and absorb a certain quantity of the fluid in which they are suspended. Synonym: emulsion colloid, hydrophil colloid, hydrophilic colloid, lyophilic colloid. (05 Mar 2000) |
hydrophilic group |
<chemistry> A polar group or one that can take part in hydrogen bond formation, for example OH, COOH, NH2. Confers water solubility or in lipids and macromolecules causes part of the structure to make close contact with the aqueous phase. (18 Nov 1997) |
hydrophilic ointment |
An ointment base consisting of 25% each of white petrolatum and stearyl alcohol, 12% propyl glycol emulsified in 37% water by 1% of lauryl sulfate; preserved with paraben. Suitable for the incorporation of numerous drugs intended for local application; a washable ointment base. (05 Mar 2000) |
hydrophilic petrolatum |
Petrolatum composed of cholesterol 30 g, stearyl alcohol 30 g, white wax 80 g, and white petrolatum 860 g, to make 1000 g. Light liquid petrolatum, light mineral oil. White petrolatum, of the same composition as petrolatum except that it is decolorised by treatment with activated charcoal; used for the same purposes as petrolatum. Synonym: white soft paraffin. (05 Mar 2000) |
hydrophilic signaling molecule |
<molecular biology> A type of molecule which, because it is easily dissolved in water (it is hydrophilic), can easily move through cell membranes and thus can be secreted from one cell and move into a target cell where it triggers a particular event. Many hormones and growth factors are hydrophilic signaling molecules. (09 Oct 1997) |

hydrophobophobia
|
The English suffix -phobia is technically used to describe irrational, disabling fear as a mental disorder, and commonly misused to describe hatred of a particular thing or subject. Everyday language has misused the use of this suffix as a mild or irrational fear with no serious substance; however, its origin is from areas of psychiatry which study serious phobias which disable a person's life. ...

hydrops fetalis
|
Hydrops fetalis is blood condition in the fetus characterized by an edema in the fetal subcutaneous tissue. It is presented in two forms: immmune or non-immune. Cases of immune hydrops fetalis are relatively rare today, due to treatments developed in the 1970s. The non-immune form of hydrops fetalis can be caused by any number of disorders. One notable cause is a deficiency of the enzyme beta-glucuronidase. ...

hydroquinone
|
Benzenediols or dihydroxybenzenes are aromatic chemical compounds in which two hydroxyl groups are substituted onto a benzene ring. Because they have at least one hydroxyl group covalently bonded directly to a carbon atom in a benzene ring, they are in a class of organic compounds called phenols. There are three isomers of bezenediol, each of which has its own common or non-systematic name as shown in the mini-table below. ...

hydrocodone
|
Hydrocodone (chemical synonym: dihydrocodeinone; trade names: Vicodin, Anexsia, Dicodid, Hycodan, Hycomine, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Tussionex) is an opioid derived from either of the naturally occurring opiates -- codeine or thebaine. Hydrocodone is an orally active narcotic analgesic and antitussive which is marketed in multi-ingredient Schedule III products. The typical therapeutic dose of 5 mg to 10 mg is pharmacologically equivalent to 30 to 60 mg of oral codeine. ...

hydrostatics
|
Hydrostatics, also known as fluid statics, is the study of fluids at rest. The characteristic of any fluid at rest is when a force is exerted on any particle of the fluid is the same in any direction. If the force is unequal the fluid will move in the direction of the resulting force. This concept was first formulated in a slightly extended form by the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal in 1647 and would be later known as Pascal's Law. ...
