PR (medicine) and caloric test (medicine)


PR (medicine)


Pr
<plant biology> The form of phytochrome that absorbs light in the red region (660 nm) and is thus converted to Pfr. In the dark the equilibrium between Pr and Pfr favours Pr, which is therefore more abundant.


caloric test (medicine)

Barany's caloric test


A test for vestibular function, made by irrigating the external auditory meatus with either hot or cold water; this normally causes stimulation of the vestibular apparatus, resulting in nystagmus and past-pointing; in vestibular disease, the response may be reduced or absent.

Synonym: caloric test, nystagmus test.
