Generally, reactive means positive for the presence of the analyte being detected in a test system and nonreactive means negative for the presence of the analyte being detected in the test system.

Nonreactive indicates that the serum tested does not have detectable antibodies to HIV-1. There are several reasons for this: Person is in the window period immediately after infection when antibodies are not yet being produced. Person is in the final disease stages when the immune system is no longer capable of producing detectable antibody.

When a patient's serum is tested for antibodies to certain viral infections part of the testing procedure is to include an uninfected tissue control whose purpose is to detect nonspecific reactions between the patient's serum and the uninfected tissue control. If such reactions occur, results are invalid and are reported as "Tissue Reactive".

Well apparently it has to do with something called gene expression, which refers to the pattern in which genes are switched on and off. And gene expression has a major effect on your body's biological processes. Each cell in your body contains a 'power-factory' that produces energy, called the mitochondria.

A Reactive Thrombocytosis occurs when your platelets are shown to be raised on a blood test, but this increase is not due to a long-term blood disorder. Causes of an RT include:

The reactive mind is the portion of a person's mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis, which is not under his volitional (willing) control, and which exerts force and the power of command over his awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions. "The reactive mind is that portion of the mind which files and retains physical pain and painful emotion and seeks to direct the organism solely on a stimulus-response basis.

I don't know. It depends on the child, primarily; but also on the therapy that he is receiving during regular sessions and at home. Some of the professionals estimate that it will take about one month for every year of age that the child has reached before beginning appropriate attachment therapy.

Dianetics Successes - "I am positive there is no situation that any person can have no matter how horrible it may seem to the person that cannot be resolved using these techniques" M.B

High hs-CRP levels also predict increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In some patients, this increased inflammation comes from obesity, as fat cells secrete proteins which stimulate the production of C-Reactive Protein (CRP). Patients with the metabolic syndrome have an increased chance of developing heart disease and diabetes.

The protective mechanisms in your cell include enzymes that disable the free radicals, such as superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase. These enzymes require nutrients like the minerals manganese, selenium, and copper, which are present in whole grains.

Reactive muscles are muscles that weaken when another muscle, the reactor, is activated. The weakened muscles can lead to muscle pain and postural alteration. The overly strong reactor muscles can cause tendon and joint pain. Reactive muscle combinations may be created by sudden injury or by repetitive muscle movements (as found in any repetitive motion like playing musical instruments, using computer keyboards,food service etc.). Read our web page on Reactive muscles.

Isotonic solutions cause no swelling or contraction of the tissues with which they come in contact, and produce no discomfort when instilled in the eye, nasal tract, or other body tissues.

The tonicity of the solution is less than that of the cells. When this occurs, water enters into the blood cells causing them to swell and finally burst, with the liberation of hemoglobin, or water invasion of the body’s cells. If this invasion is beyond the body’s cells, then water intoxication results, with convulsions and edema.

The tonicity of the solution is greater than that of the cells, which can cause a variety of complications, such as, hyperglycemia, intracellular dehydration, loss of water and electrolytes, dehydration and coma.
