Biochemical substance; a neuro-transmitter that promotes the propagation of electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another in carbon-based life.

ADTH

A substance which may be pumped through the life support systems of a starship as a fast-acting stimulant.

Anesthezine

This is an inhalant that can be used as a general anesthetic, but is more often used by Security as an intruder control measure.

Asinolythin

This substance is used as a pain-killer for muscle spasms.

Axinol

A powerful sedative. Can also be used as an anesthetic.

Benjisidrine

An anti-arrhythmic used to regulate some heart conditions.

Benzocyatizine 24, 25, 39

A drug used by Trill doctors to stimulate falling isoboramine levels in joined Trills to avoid late rejection of the symbiont. It can be administered in small doses, approximately 2 ccs for a crisis situation.

Cerebus II

An illegal "deaging" drug which radically changes cellular structure and rewrites DNA. The effects are not fully known or understood.

Coradrenaline

A medication for exposure and hypothermia.

Chloromydride

A cardio-stimulatory drug used where Inaprovaline is ineffective or may cause allergic reactions. It is usually used in concert with cardial and neural stimulators for additional benefits.

Cordrazine

A potent stimulant, used in Starfleet medical practice since at least the 2260's. A dose of 25ccs is considered to be a deadly dosage. Just 1cc can bring someone to consciousness. It is usually used only as a last resort in life-threatening situations, as too much may cause a severe mental imbalance, irritability and paranoia.

Corophizine

A general purpose antibiotic. It has minimal side effects and is non-addictive.

Cortolin

Used to treat a wound inflicted by a compressor beam weapon.

Cortopine

A strong stimulant. It is often found in standard medkits.

Crediline

This drug makes the user more likely to believe anything that they are told. Its use has been superseded by more effective memory blockers.

Cyalodin

A deadly poison, it kills with great pain and leaves the victim with blue splotches.

Dalaphaline

A mild stimulant.

Delactovine

A common stimulant with few side effects. Most often used to stabilize a patient undergoing seizures or shock. It is mildly addictive.

Dexalin

This is used to treat oxygen deprivation.

Dylamadon

This is a powerful neuroinhibitor used for painless euthanasia.

Dyvolene

An anti-toxin

Felicium

A powerful narcotic substance. Normal dosage is one-hundreth millimeter. Sold to the Onarans by the Brekkians for hundreds of years as a "medicine."

Formazine

A common stimulant that can cause irritability with prolonged use (more than three days). Otherwise, it has the same effects as Delactovine.

Genericillin

A powerful general purpose antibiotic.

Histamine

A biochemical substance produced by the breakdown of histidine, an amino acid found in humanoid tissues. The body produces histamine when it comes in contact with substances to which the body is sensitized, and is a primary factor in the humanoid allergic response.

Hypercoagulin

Stops bleeding very quickly. This is unnecessary when using Anabolic Protoplasers, although a version of this drug for localized use on wounds in the field may exist.

Hyonalyn

This medication protects against radiation sickness. One dose halves the effective amount of radiation received, and a second dose further halves that, and so on. Each dosage beyond the first risks Hyronalyn poisoning, which could lead to permanent damage.

Hytritium

A highly unstable substance not carried onboard Federation vessels, but the only known substance capable of neutralizing poisonous tricyanate.

Inaprovaline

A cardio-stimulatory drug that can also be used to stabilize a weak but living patient's condition.

Kayolane

This drug causes immediate unconsciousness and the patient will remain asleep for 1-6 hours.

Leporazine

A general resuscitative used to treat neural metaphasic shock.

Lexorin

A neurotransmitter inhibitor. This drug temporarily diminishes intelegence, but each dose also makes psychic and psionic intrusions harder. Lexorin can also calm excited or agitated patients. In greater dosages than 3 in 24 hours, the patient also begins to lose manual dexterity, as the Central Nervous System begins to lose control of voluntary functions. Lexorin is mildly addictive, and causes the patient to feel overconfident and happy.

Magnesite-Nitron Tablet

This small tablet, when crushed, provides emergency illumination and heat through a bright flame. Usually carried as part of an emergency medical field kit, the tablets could also be employed for ignition of a larger fire, heating of food or sterilization of water.

Masiform-D

A powerful stimulant, sometimes used to combat the effects of other drugs. Side-effect: stomachache.

Melanex

A deprssant which causes a patient to lose consciousness. Found in most Federation medical facilities. Side-effect: may cause patient to turn a bright yellow hue, especially in the Vulcan species.

Melorazine

Memory-Beta

This drug stimulates the users memory. It allows the user to attempt to remember something that has been forgotten.

Metrazine

Cardiac anti-arrhythmic. Similar to Benjisidrine.

Morathial

Morphazine

Puts patients into deep, dreamless sleep for 3-18 hours.

Mylar II

With reconstructive surgery it is possible to conceal a person's true race. However reconstructive surgery on an entire platoon or company is not always an option time or facilities wise. The drug, Mylar II, causes the top layers of skin and flesh to become more pliable. Thus with Mylar II injections a human could easily appear to be a Romulan or Vulcan. There is a limit to what these injections can do. A Mylar II Cardassian would take a few hours, be quite painful and require the use of some prostectics. None of these disguises will fool a medical tricorder or a very detailed inspection. These disguises may also require some form of makeup to be complete.

Neo-Dextraline Solution

Used to treat dehydration.

Neurovine

This drug is an antidote for nerve poison.

Neurozene

A tranquilizer.

Pheromones

Biochemicals secreted by many carbon based life forms, whose scent affects the behavior of other members of the same or similar species. Certain pheromones control the degree of sexual attractiveness attributed to an individual.

Purge

This drug cleanses the user's systems of foreign biochemicals, and neutralizes active drugs (including recreational drugs and alcohol) within minutes.

Rage

This drug gives the user double strength and and berserker rage for 10-60 minutes. This drug is considered unethical by Federation standards.

Rexlin

This drug can be used as a tranquilizer, a pain killer and a sedative. All is depending on the dose administered.

Ryetalyn

The only known cure to Rigelian Fever.

Shaker

This is an experimental neurotransmitter enhancer which increases the patients health, strength and dextarity every 15 seconds, but decreases intellegence by a similar amount. Users also temporarily gain the overconfidence and a high pain threshold. This drug is considered unethical by the Federation.

Sleeper pills

Standard issue in most Federation medical facilities, they are strictly under the control of the Chief Medical Officer.

Stokaline

A mild stimulant that will revive an unconscious or stunned patient. It has no major side effects and is non-addictive. However, patients quickly develop a tolerance to it. Each time Stokaline is not effective, all future uses on that patient will be less. This effect is permanent and cumulative.

Strobolin

A naturally occuring drug used to cure choriocytosis.

Suspend

Slows down all biological functions. This is similar to the Stasis Field. In sickbays, a Stasis Field is used.

TOXINS

A poisonous compound; a number of substances found on a starship can be toxic. Tetralubisol, a milky, highly volatile lubricant, is toxic. Phaser Coolant is also toxic to most races.

Tricordrazine

A refined version of Cordrazine that lacks the delusional paranoia side effects, but will not revive as well. It is still addictive

Tri-Ox Compound

This drug helps to provide oxygen to blood in thin atmospheres, or in cases of oxygen starvation.

Tryptophan-Lysine distillates

These are more powerful antibiotics. They add to the effective health of the patient, but at the cost of a slightly Fatigued state that lasts until the treatments end.

Vasokin

An experimental drug designed to increase blood supply to the humanoid organs, although 22% of it's test cases developed severe damage to the lungs, kidneys and heart -- and even the brain.

Venus Drug

Highly illegal. A red capsule which gives humans "more of whatever they have."

Vertrazine

Combats vertigo. Only one dose will have effect in a 24 hour period. It has no side effects.

Zienite

A drug found only on Ardana which is known to cure certain biological plagues. Raw zienite emits an odorless, colorless gas that retards the intellect and stimulates violence.

Treatments

Aortal Graft

A proceedure which patches a defect or wound in the Aorta on a humanoid.

Autonomic Response Analysis Scan

This form of medical analysis, commonly referred to as an ARA scan, is analogous to a 20th century lie detector test and is capable of determining whether an individual is telling the truth or not. Because it uses a baseline comparison with known recorded responses, it is only useful for species whose response have been documented and recorded.

Autopsy

A Physicial uses this proceedure to determine cause of death.

Basilar Arterial Scan

This procedure is used to detect damage to the basilar arteries of the brain.

Berylite Scan

Bicaridine Treatment

Regenerative therapy for fracture patients. It is used as a substitute in patients that are allergic to metorapan.

Bi-Spectral Analysis

This procedure is sometimes used on Trill symbionts and requires that an incision be made in the host body for the insertion of a medical scanner.

Blood-Gas Analysis

Used to determine the ratio of gasious chemicals in a patient's blood, such as Nitrogen, Oxygen and others.

Brain Circuitry Pattern

Medical diagnostic image mapping neural activity in a humanoid brain. The BCP of each individual is unique, and this serves as a postive means of identification.

Cardiac Induction

Surgical procedure in which a patient's diseased or injured heart is replaced by an artificial device.

Cardiac Replacement

Surgical procedure in which a patient?s diseased or
injured heart is replaced by an artificial device. The technique was developed
by Dr. Van Doren.

Cellular Metamorphosis

Process allowing an individual to assume another?s
form.

Cerebro-Cortical Scan

CCS scans are designed to assess the integrity of the cerebral cortex. The technique and theory take their roots in MRI and CAT scanning technology adopted in the late 20th century. Cerebrocortical scans can detect a variety of micro and macrocellular insults to the cerebral cortex and also assess the integrity of integrated pathways. The scans also can assess the integrity of the cerebral macro and microvasculature. It can also be reconfigured to assess infection if this is suspected. This technique can also be used to evaluate brain-wave pattersn, unique to an individual as it assesses the pathway status.

Code White Resuscitation

This procedure is utilized on patients who have been brain dead for a very short period of time.

Coronary Bypass

Coronary bypass is a technique adopted in the mid 20th century to allow surgical procedures on the heart without disrupting the flow of blood to other organs. The technique involves cannulation (placing a big needle or tube) into the two great venous structures and into the aorta. The blood is then passed through a bypass machine which keeps the blood warm and anticoagulated. The technique, though essentially unchanged in theory, continues to be used in a more streamlined form today. [Corollary--CABG--Coronary Arterial Bypass Grafting: This is a technique also generically referred to as a "Bypass" in days past in which the coronary arterial supply, having been occluded or markedly reduced in diameter by atherosclerotic plaques, is physically bypassed by using another vessel or artificial tubing. The result is to restore oxygen and blood supply to the myocardium.

Cortical Protein Series

This is a scan that looks for the development and constitution of proteins in the cerebral cortex of humanoids. The scan evaluates proteins and enzymes in these cells and determines any abnormalities. It also can look for foreign proteins or proteins from infectious agents. The test is useful in diagnosing specific serotypes of infectious agent/virus.

Cortical Scan

Pseudonym for Cerebrocortical scan.

CPK Enzymatic Therapy

CPK, or creatinine phosphokinase, is a marker of muscular damage. It is mostly used to diagnose and treat cardiac damage.

CPK Levels

A medical test, CPK or creatinine phosphokinase, is a marker of
muscular damage. It is mostly used to diagnose cardiac damage.

Cryonics

Old practice of cryogenically freezing a human just after death in
the hopes that future medical advances would render their sickness curable. Some cryogenically frozen bodies were actually sent into space in orbiting satellites for long term storage.

Cryostasis

Medical procedure used to slow down biological functions in a critically injured patient, allowing the physician more time to correct the malady.

Cytological Screening

Direct Reticular Stimulation

Medical procedure in which electrical energy is applied directly to the nervous system of a humanoid patient in an attempt to revive neural activity. A device called a neural stimulator is used in this procedure

DNA Referance Scan

Medical test to confirm an individual's identity by matching DNA patterns.

DNA Resequencing

DNA resequencing is illegal in the Federation when it is done to tamper or alter the genetic nature of an individual who is otherwise healthy.

Electrophoretic Analysis

A process by which proteins are identified by putting them on a gel and running an electric current through the gel, then staining the gel and measuring how far the proteins moved in comparison to a group of standard proteins that were also put on the gel (bigger proteins move slower, in general.)

Encephalogiraphic Polygraph Scan

A brainwave scan used to determine truthfulness during questioning

Hexadrin Therapy

This therapy is used to treat, but not cure, Cardassian victims of Yarim Fel Syndrome.

High Saturation Radiometric Therapy

Hyperencephalogram

Medical test that records and measures brain wave activity.

Memory Wipe Procedure

This medical procedure is used to selectively remove memories from a subjects mind. Although successful on a variety of humanoid races, it has proven ineffective on Mintakans and Boraalans.

Microcellular Scan

Gives a very detailed scan of humanoid cells.

Motor Cortex Reconstruction

This procdure is to repair neurological damage. The first step in the procedure involves establishing the axon connection and testing for synaptic potentials. After repairing any damaged preganglionic fibers, the final step involves restoring the nerve sheath with a myelin regenerator.

Mycardial Enzyme Balance

Medical test used in surgical, particularly cardiac,
procedures.

Neural Inversion Field

Neural Pathway Induction

This procedure is designed to stop the disruption of an individual's neural pathways that can occur after exposure to certain energy discharges. Although it can take weeks for the effects of such a disruption to appear, the victim must be treated at an appropriate medial facility in order to prevent death.

Neural Response Analysis

This is a test that measures the brain's voluntary and autonomic responses to stimulation. It can also be configured to measure nerve conduction velocities and responses in the peripheral nervous system. It is often employed in shuttle and fighter pilots as well as starship helmsmen to measure responses and reaction times. It can also be used to measure residual neural activity following cerebral insults.

Neural Imagining Scan

Medical diagnostic scan used to test the acuity of the
patient's visual cortex

Neurochemical Scan

Neurological Scan

Neurographic Scan

A level 4 neurographic scan, sometimes used to look for possible causes of hallucinations or pyschogenic reactions, is capable of detecting small defects in the parietal lobe of the brain.

Neuropolaric Induction

This procedure is necessary to repolarize the neural sheaths of a patient whose basal ganglia have begun to depolarize due to unusual neural activity.

Neurogeneration Procedures

These procedures are used to treat, but not cure, Cardassian victims of Yarim Fel Syndrome.

Neurosynapthic Technique

Procedure used on the planet Tilonus IV in an attempt to extract information from Commander William Riker, captured there in 2369. Using
neurosomatic techniques, his captor's created a delusional world in which Riker believed he was an inmate at the Tilonus Institute for Mental Disorders.

Neurosynapthic Therapy

Nucleogenic Scan

Osmotic Pressure Therapy

This procedure is sometimes required to stabilize the cell membranes of infant's after a fetal transport.

Ostreographic Series

This is the modern descendent of the X-Ray. This test analyses the integrity of bone and looks for fracture but can also evaluate ligamentous and tendinous damage as well as musculature injury. There is no radiation used and so the risk is minimal to the patient.

Protein Synthesis Test

This is a test that evaluates not only cellular metabolic activity but also assays genetic integrity as well. It measures exactly what is stated, protein synthesis but does so by also evaluating the degree of transcription of DNA to RNA as well as the Translation of that RNA into a protein. It also evaluates the effectiveness of cellular transport of the protein. The utility of this test comes in evaluating cellular metabolism, presence of infectious agents and the like.

Retina Scan

Retinal scans are often used to clear Starfleet officers before viewing or accessing secured information. High resolution scans of the subject's retina reveal a distinct pattern of blood vessels which are matched to a Starfleet database.

Thoron Pulse

Triage

An age old medical principle of classifying wounded and injured in a battle or any emergent medical situation by severity of injury and insult. Traditionally the least injured and those injured beyond hope of recovery are typically omitted from treatment while those with severe injuries that can be treated are often taken as soon as is possible.

Van Doren Cardiac Replacement Procedure

Using the Van Doren Procedure, an artificial heart can be implanted within a humanoid patient with only a 2.4% mortality rate. One of the most famous recipients of an artificial heart is Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who lost his heart in a fight with a group of Nausicaans in 2327.

Vascular Regeneration Therapy

This is a therapy that is used to, as the name states, regenerate damaged vessels as can often happen in the case of infection, anaphylaxis, and with old age. The therapy works on a principle similar to that of dermal regeneratoin and stimulates the endothelial cells of the vascular wall to regenerate and divide. The risk of neoplasia is minimal as long as the therapy is contiunued only for a short time.
