- Anesthetization — The act of anesthetizing and its result; the clinical process through which pharmacological agents are administered to a patient to induce a state of total or partial insensitivity to pain. In a broad sense, the term denotes the entirety of perioperative medical maneuvers performed by the specialist team, while figuratively, it represents the action of neutralizing, numbing, or annihilating the critical spirit or responsiveness of a community.
- Autoimmunization — The active pathophysiological process through which an organism becomes immunized against its own antigenic constituents; the actual triggering and induction of autoantibody production following exposure to triggering factors or structural modifications of self-proteins. Unlike autoimmunity (the general state), the term describes the dynamics, evolution, and concrete stages of acquiring this abnormal reactivity.
