#elimination
- Alcoholuria — The presence and concentration of pure alcohol (ethanol) in a person's urine. It represents an important biological and toxicological indicator used in forensic medicine to evaluate the elimination phases of alcohol from the body, with the alcoholuria value often correlated with blood alcohol content to determine the historical timeline of ingestion.
- Anesthetize — To subject a living organism, a patient, or an anatomical region to the action of an anesthetic agent, with the purpose of temporarily and reversibly suppressing pain sensitivity during a medical procedure. Figuratively, the action expresses the neutralization, numbing, or annihilation of the emotional, moral, or sensory responsiveness of a person or a community toward external stimuli.
- Apocrisis — A term used in ancient humoral medicine to denote the elimination, evacuation, or secretion of noxious matters, altered blood, or residues from the organism; the product of this pathological secretion. The concept was based on the idea that restoring a patient's health depended directly on purifying bodily fluids through natural biological crises.
