Labels: not-comparable 3. Subsyndromal. Labels: not-comparable Example: There is increasing evidence that cannabis use can act as a risk factor for the development of bipolar as well as psychotic disorders. A recent systematic review by Gibbs and colleagues identified several studies supporting a link between cannabis use and subsequent relapse of manic symptoms. This review also included a meta-analysis of two large prospective cohort studies, which found that cannabis use almost trebled the risk of new-onset subthreshold manic symptoms after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Example: For the ICD-11, there is a scale of the severity of personality pathology that ranges from “personality difficulty” to “mild,” “moderate,” and “severe” personality disorder, which represent the only personality disorder “diagnoses” in the system. The designation of “personality difficulty” (subthreshold for a personality disorder), as well as the three levels of personality disorder, can all be amplified by these trait specifiers: negative affectivity, detachment, dissociality, disinhibition, or anankastia.

Word: sudorific Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From New Latin sudorificus, from sūdor (“sweat”) (from Proto-Indo-European *sweyd- (“sweat; to sweat”)) + -ificus (from Proto-Italic *-fakos (suffix forming adjectives that denote bringing or making), ultimately related to Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁- (“to do, put, place”)). Pronunciation: /ˌs(j)uːdəˈɹɪfɪk/, /ˌsudəˈɹɪfɪk/, /-ɾə-/ 1. In a state of perspiration; covered in sweat; sudoriferous, sweaty. Labels: not-comparable Example: [...] I took my leave of them, & 'ran like a Lamp-lighter', the rest of the way to the Theatre; and in a most violent perspiration, clambered into the Shilling Gallery, where scarcely I cᵈ gain admission, the rest of the House being extremely crowded, wᶜʰ did not diminish the sudorific state of my person. Example: Fear, the product of guilt, is a true night-plant. Like some of those gigantic fungi the botanists tell of, it springs up in the dark, and in an hour of restless tossing, sudorific, horripilating wretchedness, canopies our bed with a phantom toad-stool of gigantic size. The load that the conscience can jauntily stagger under in the broad light of day, [...] will, in the gloom and silence of the night, wear its bearer to his knees. 2. That produces sweating.

Example: That the skin is much affected under the sense of great fear, we see in the marvellous and inexplicable manner in which perspiration immediately exudes from it. This exudation is all the more remarkable, as the surface is then cold, and hence the term a cold sweat; whereas, the sudorific glands are properly excited into action when the surface is heated.

Pronunciation: /ˌs(j)uːdəˈɹɪfɪk/, /ˌsudəˈɹɪfɪk/, /-ɾə-/ 1. A medicine that produces sweating. Example: [A]s it was obſerved that acute diſtempers are ſometimes terminated by a critical ſweat, it was concluded that the moſt powerful ſudorifics were the beſt means of accompliſhing this deſirable end. This gave riſe to the deſtructive and fatal practice, which ſoon became univerſal, of adminiſtering heating remedies in diſeaſes of an inflammatory nature: […] Example: The whole of this hill is covered with the wild sage, the salvia pomifera, […] It enters into the materia medica of the modern Greeks, and is taken as tea, and used as a sudorific in feverish cases.
