This unusual reactive lesion of the gastric mucosa has only rarely been described and has been termed Russell body gastritis. The defence presented evidence that Juman suffered from cannabis-induced psychotic disorder, reactive depression and schizophrenia. The histologic causes of these false-positive lymph nodes were granuloma, reactive inflammation, and anthracosis. Three children had reactive inflammatory arthritis. Early identification and treatment of chlamydia may slow the progression of reactive arthritis. Two forms of occupational asthma are recognized: reactive airway dysfunction syndrome and allergic occupational asthma. Differentiating reactive airway dysfunction syndrome from other types of work-related asthma is generally straightforward. Hilar lymphadenopathy with other pulmonary infiltrates is infrequent and thought to represent reactive hyperplasia. For those patients with reactive airway disease, pre-medication should be considered. 1.5Physics Relating to reactance. a reactive load Example sentencesExamples There are separate accumulators for generator tripping and 500-kV reactive power compensation switching for this algorithm as well. It is important to remember that any reactive load will produce standing waves on the line. If this angle is zero degrees, the load is purely resistive; if the angle is not zero, there is some reactive loading, or additional storage in the system. If active and reactive power are not properly balanced, voltage collapse may occur in one part of the system and could propagate system failure. Generator tripping must be technically and contractually feasible, and the reactive power devices must be in place.
