  2. Synergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergy

    The words synergy and synergetic have been used in the field of physiology since at least the middle of the 19th century: SYN'ERGY, Synergi'a, Synenergi'a, (F.) Synergie; from συν, 'with', and εργον, 'work'. A correlation or concourse of action between different organs in health; and, according to some, in disease.

  3. Additive effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_effect

    Additive effect can be used to detect synergy as it can be considered as the baseline effect in methods determining whether drugs have synergistic effect. Synergistic effect is similar to additive effect, having a combination effect greater than additive effect. It can produce an effect of 2+2 > 4 when two drugs are used together.

  4. Antibiotic synergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_synergy

    In the synergistic response, the applied antibiotics work together to produce an effect more potent than if each antibiotic were applied singly. [1] Compare to the additive effect , where the potency of an antibiotic combination is roughly equal to the combined potencies of each antibiotic singly, and antagonistic effect, where the potency of ...

  5. Synergistic catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergistic_catalysis

    Energy gap between HOMO LUMO is brought even closer by two catalysts activating both substrates simultaneously. Synergistic catalysis is a specialized approach to catalysis whereby at least two different catalysts act on two different substrates simultaneously to allow reaction between the two activated materials.

  6. Tactile discrimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_discrimination

    The two-point threshold is the smallest distance between the two points that the patient can recognize. [17] By conducting this form of tactile discrimination, it is believed that practitioners will be able to discern the relative amount of nerves in the tested location. When conducting the procedure on the desired part of the body, the ...

  7. Synergetics (Fuller) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergetics_(Fuller)

    Any one of the stars or point-to-able "points" is a system-ultratunable, tunable, or infratunable but inherently four-dimensional. ( 527.702 , 527.712 ) Synergetics does not aim to replace or invalidate pre-existing geometry or mathematics, as evidenced by the opening dedication to H.S.M. Coxeter, whom Fuller considered the greatest geometer of ...

  8. Drug interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_interaction

    It may be difficult to distinguish between synergistic or additive interactions, as individual effects of drugs may vary. Direct interactions between drugs are also possible and may occur when two drugs are mixed before intravenous injection. For example, mixing thiopentone and suxamethonium can lead to the precipitation of thiopentone. [4]

  9. Synergism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergism

    Synergism comes from the Greek syn (with) and ergon (work) and refers to two or more sources working together. [1] In Christian theology, it describes the cooperative effort between God and humanity in the process of salvation. [2] [3] It implies a free human participation in salvation. [4]
