AntimitotiqueA mitotic inhibitor is a drug that inhibits mitosis, or cell division. These drugs disrupt microtubules, which are structures that pull the chromosomes apart when a cell divides. Mitotic inhibitors are used in cancer treatment, because cancer cells are able to grow and eventually spread through the body (metastasize) through continuous mitotic division. Thus, cancer cells are more sensitive to inhibition of mitosis than normal cells.
Organisme génétiquement modifiévignette|Un bout d'ADN retiré par une pince (vision d'artiste). Un organisme génétiquement modifié ou OGM (en anglais, Genetically modified organism ou GMO) est un organisme vivant dont le patrimoine génétique a été modifié par l'intervention humaine. Selon les définitions européennes, ces modifications doivent être issues du génie génétique. La définition américaine inclut également les modifications issues de la sélection artificielle.
Attachment therapyAttachment therapy (also called "the Evergreen model", "holding time", "rage-reduction", "compression therapy", "rebirthing", "corrective attachment therapy", and "coercive restraint therapy") is a pseudoscientific child mental health intervention intended to treat attachment disorders. It is found primarily in the United States, and much of it is centered in about a dozen clinics in Evergreen, Colorado, where Foster Cline, one of the founders, established his clinic in the 1970s.
Trouble réactionnel de l'attachement de l'enfanceDans l'approche comportementaliste reprise par la CIM-10, le trouble réactionnel de l'attachement de l'enfance est décrit, dans la littérature clinique, comme un trouble pouvant affecter les enfants. Le trouble réactionnel de l'attachement de l'enfance est caractérisé par un comportement social déséquilibré et inapproprié dans la plupart des contextes relationnels.
Chemical defenseChemical defense is a strategy employed by many organisms to avoid consumption by producing toxic or repellent metabolites or chemical warnings which incite defensive behavioral changes. The production of defensive chemicals occurs in plants, fungi, and bacteria, as well as invertebrate and vertebrate animals. The class of chemicals produced by organisms that are considered defensive may be considered in a strict sense to only apply to those aiding an organism in escaping herbivory or predation.
Attachment in childrenAttachment in children is "a biological instinct in which proximity to an attachment figure is sought when the child senses or perceives threat or discomfort. Attachment behaviour anticipates a response by the attachment figure which will remove threat or discomfort". Attachment also describes the function of availability, which is the degree to which the authoritative figure is responsive to the child's needs and shares communication with them.
Convenience foodConvenience food, also called tertiary processed food, is food that is commercially prepared (often through processing) to optimise ease of consumption. Such food is usually ready to eat without further preparation. It may also be easily portable, have a long shelf life, or offer a combination of such convenient traits. Although restaurant meals meet this definition, the term is seldom applied to them. Convenience foods include ready-to-eat dry products, frozen foods such as TV dinners, shelf-stable foods, prepared mixes such as cake mix, and snack foods.
