Terms for subject Medical (3308 entries)

transcription	The fourth of seven steps in the HIV life cycle. Transcription occurs after HIV has integrated its viral DNA into the DNA of the host cell. During transcription, the host cell uses the genetic instructions carried in HIV DNA to make new HIV RNA, including HIV messenger RNA (mRNA)
Transfer Procedures Working Group	TPWG
transfer-RNA	t-PHK
transient elastography	TE	spanis­hru
Transitional Care Unit	TCU
translation	The fifth of seven steps in the HIV life cycle. Translation occurs after the host cell makes new HIV RNA. During translation, the host cell uses the genetic instructions carried in the new HIV RNA, specifically messenger RNA (mRNA) to make HIV proteins.
transmitted resistance	When a person becomes infected with a strain of HIV that is already resistant to certain antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.
TPI	transperitoneal insemination	Chita
transplacental	Passage through or across the placenta. Transplacental usually refers to the exchange of nutrients, waste products, drugs, infectious organisms, or other substances between the mother and the fetus.
trau	traumatic
Trauma And Anxiety Disorders Clinic	TADC
Trauma-informed Practice in Schools Team	iTIPS	bigmax­us
trau	traumatic
trd	tractional retinal detachment	oxana1­35
treatment failure	When an antiretroviral (ARV) regimen is unable to control HIV infection. Treatment failure can be clinical failure, immunologic failure, virologic failure, or any combination of the three. Factors that can contribute to treatment failure include drug resistance, drug toxicity, or poor treatment adherence.
Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration With Photodynamic Therapy	TAP	lew357­9
Treatment Payment Options	TPO
treatment regimen	A structured treatment plan designed to improve and maintain health. Recommended HIV treatment regimens include a combination of three or more antiretroviral (ARV) drugs from at least two different drug classes.
treatment simplification	Making changes to an HIV treatment regimen to make medication adherence easier. Simplifying a regimen can include reducing the number of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs in a regimen or changing to a drug that offers once-daily dosing. Other changes can include switching to ARV drugs that cause fewer adverse effects or to ARV drugs that can be taken without food. Regimen simplification can improve a person's quality of life, help maintain long-term adherence, help prevent toxicities that may develop with long-term drug use, and reduce the risk of treatment failure.
Treatment-Experienced	When a person with HIV is currently taking or has previously taken antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.
