(Tıp) Uyarıya karşı hassas hale gelme ve getirilme, canlının veya canlı dokunun belli bir uyarıya karşı, eskisine oranla daha duyarlı hale gelişi, uyarıya tepkinin daha kuvvetli oluşu
make (a material) sensitive to light, often of a particular colour, by coating it with a photographic emulsion; "sensitize the photographic film"
If a substance is sensitized to something such as light or touch, it is made sensitive to it. Skin is easily irritated, chapped, chafed, and sensitized. sensitised nerve endings
sen·si·tize sensitizes sensitizing sensitized in BRIT, also use sensitise1. If you sensitize people to a particular problem or situation, you make them aware of it. It seems important to sensitize people to the fact that depression is more than the blues How many judges in our male-dominated courts are sensitized to women's issues?
make sensitive or aware; "He was not sensitized to her emotional needs" make (a material) sensitive to light, often of a particular colour, by coating it with a photographic emulsion; "sensitize the photographic film" make sensitive to a drug or allergen; "Long-term exposure to this medicine may sensitize you to the allergen" cause to sense; make sensitive; "She sensitized me with respect to gender differences in this traditional male-dominated society"; "My tongue became sensitized to good wine
To render sensitive, or susceptible of being easily acted on by the actinic rays of the sun; as, sensitized paper or plate
cause to sense; make sensitive; "She sensitized me with respect to gender differences in this traditional male-dominated society"; "My tongue became sensitized to good wine
cause to sense; make sensitive; "She sensitized me with respect to gender differences in this traditional male-dominated society"; "My tongue became sensitized to good wine"
{s} caused to be sensitive; made sensitive; (Medicine) allergic, having an allergy, hypersensitive, extremely susceptible to a particular factor (also sensitized)
The phenomenon in austenitic stainless steels that causes a change to occur in the grain boundaries when heated in the general range of 850 to 1475 degree F This change destroys the passivity in these locations
An immune response reaction state in which further exposure elicits an immune or allergic response A person previously exposed to a certain material is more sensitive when further contact with this material is encountered
This is the term applied to the exposure to a substance (allergen) which provokes a response in the immune system such that disease symptoms will ensue on subsequent encounters with the same substance See hypersensitivity, immune system
Sensitization is the development, over time, of an allergic reaction to a chemical The chemical may cause a mild response on the first few exposures but, as the allergy develops, the response becomes worse with subsequent exposures Eventually, even short exposures to low concentration can cause very severe reaction There are two different types of occupational sensitization: skin and respiratory Typical symptoms of skin sensitivity are swelling, redness, itching , pain and blistering Sensitization of the respiratory system may result in symptoms similar to a severe asthma attack These symptoms include wheezing, difficulty in breathing, chest tightness, coughing and shortness of breath
State of immune-response reaction in which further exposure elicits an immune or allergic response A person previously exposed to a certain material is more sensitive when he experiences further contact with it
In austenitic stainless steels, the precipitation of chromium carbides, usually at grain boundaries, upon exposure to temperatures of about 550 to 850 °C (100 to 1550 °F), leaving the grain boundaries depleted of chromium and therefore susceptible to preferential attack by a corroding (oxidizing) medium
{i} process of making sensitive, process of causing sensitivity; condition of being sensitive; (Psychology) process of becoming very sensitive to particular situations or happenings (particularly emotional happenings or sentimental situations)
(psychology) the process of becoming highly sensitive to specific events or situations (especially emotional events or situations) the state of being sensitive (as to an antigen)
{s} caused to be sensitive; made sensitive; (Medicine) allergic, having an allergy, hypersensitive, extremely susceptible to a particular factor (also sensitised)
- a substance known to cause, through an allergic reaction, a chronic adverse health effect that becomes evident in a significant number of people on re-exposure to the same substance
{i} substance (apart from a catalyst) that accelerates the start of a catalytic reaction; allergen that causes atopic dermatitis on the second exposure following the initial sensitizing exposure (also sensitiser)
(1) photosensitive chemical, usually potassium bichromate aluminum bichromate, or diazonium compounds used for sensitizing photographic screen printing stencil films or emulsions; (2) any chemical substance or mixture that causes a substantial number of persons to develop a hypersensitive reaction upon re-exposure to the chemical substance or mixture, through an allergic bodily reaction
chemical that causes a substantial proportion of exposed people or animals to develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue after repeated exposure to the chemical
Substance which, on first exposure, causes little or no reaction in man or test animals but which, on repeated exposure, may cause a marked response not necessarily limited to the contact site
A substance that may cause no reaction in a person during initial exposures, but afterwards, further exposures will cause an allergic response to the substance
A chemical that causes a substantial proportion of exposed people or animals to develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue after repeated exposure to the chemical
A substance that, on first exposure, causes little or no reaction in man or test animals, but which on repeated exposure may cause a marked response not necessarily limited to the contact site Skin sensitization is the most common form of sensitization in the industrial setting, although respiratory sensitization to a few chemicals is also known to occur
