Shaken Baby Syndrome (health) and biochip (sh)


Shaken Baby Syndrome (health)


A severe form of head injury that occurs when an infant or small child is shaken forcibly enough to cause the brain to bounce against the skull; the degree of brain damage depends on the extent and duration of the shaking. Minor symptoms include irritability, lethargy, tremors, or vomiting; major symptoms include seizures, coma, stupor, or death.





biochip (sh)




Small-scale device, analogous to an integrated circuit, constructed of or used to analyze organic molecules associated with living organisms.

One type of theoretical biochip is a small device constructed of large organic molecules, such as proteins, and capable of performing the functions (data storage, processing) of an electronic computer. The Other type of biochip is a small device capable of performing rapid, small-scale biochemical reactions for the purpose of identifying gene sequences, environmental pollutants, airborne toxins, or Other biochemical constituents.
