egilops (e'jil-ops). the inner canthus

Perforating absce of egomania (e-go-ma'ne-ah). Morbid self ne .] centering. [Gr., ego, I, + mania, madegophonyfication of(e-gof'o-ne). A voice the sound of the morbid as modi heard on auscultation, of a tremulous character supposed to resemble that of the bleating of a goat; heard in cases of pleurisy with effusion and in certain cases of pneumonia complicated with pleurisy. [Gr., aix, voice.] (aiga goat, + phone, the sound of the Ehrlich's diazo-reaetion. Consists of treating the urine with diazo benzene sulphonic acid in solution and then adding a solution of either soda or ammonia. Normal urine gives a yellow or orange color, but certain pathological urines, e. g., typhoid urine, give a primary yellow coloration with a secondary red coloration upon the addition of ammonia. A red colored froth is formed at times which may turn yellow. E. reaction for diazo-bodies in urine, see in appendix, page 894. E's side-chain theory. A t. which embraces the various phenomena of immunity, including the formation of antitoxins, cytolysins, agglutinins, opsonins, precipitins, and other similar substances. It a umes the presence of complex organic molecules in the body cells, consisting of central groups to which lateral groups or side-chains are attached. These lateral chains are called receptors and they combine with the haptophore group of toxins, cytolysins, opsonins, and other such materials. When the receptors are appropriated by the haptophore group of the toxins, cytolysins, etc., other receptors are formed by the central molecular group of cells, and if this stimulation is continuous, these receptors are produced in exce ive amounts and are liberated in the blood as antitoxins, agglutinins, opsonins, and cytolysins, or amboceptors. These liberated receptors are called receptors of the first order, if they only po e one combining group, as with the antitoxins; receptors of the second order, if they contain two> sets of combining groups, as with agglutinins and precipitins; and receptors of the third order if they contain groups of molecules making three sets of combinations, namely, with the haptophore and zymophore group of the complement and the haptophore group of the bacterial or body cells. The last variety of receptor is represented by the amboceptor, which is concerned in bacteriolysis and general cytolysis. These free receptors are also called haptins or antibodies.
