- Antiemetic — Preventing, combating, soothing, or stopping the sensation of nausea and the act of vomiting; a medication or active substance (such as metoclopramide or ondansetron) administered in the treatment of digestive disorders, motion sickness, or to counteract the emetic side effects of chemotherapy. These compounds act either centrally, by blocking dopaminergic or serotonergic receptors in the brain, or peripherally, by regulating the motility of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Regional plant variety — A popular and regional name attributed to certain plant species of the genus Erigeron or Sonchus, used in traditional empirical medicine or recognized as crop weeds in specific regions. In an archaic phytopathological sense, the term can also describe the destructive effect of scorching or premature drying of leaves caused by solar heat or parasitic fungal attacks.
- Burn — A tissue lesion caused by the action of heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation; (in botany/agriculture) a plant disease caused by fungi, bacteria, or extreme climatic factors (such as intense sun or frost), manifested by the browning and drying of leaves or stems. Broadly, the term describes the structural destruction of a living organism under the influence of a thermal or corrosive agent.
- Autoemesis — A specialized clinical term designating the voluntary, reflexive, or spontaneous induction of vomiting (emesis) by an individual, without the intervention of external emetic factors or chemical medicinal substances; a symptom or behavior often encountered in digestive dynamics disorders or psychiatric neuro-behavioral conditions.
