More Definitions of Acute

Acute means symptoms that are severe and have a rapid onset and a short course;

Acute means having rapid onset, severe symptoms, and a short course.

Acute means radiation dose(s) or chemical exposure(s) occurring within a short period of time (24 hours or less).

Acute means a stimulus severe enough to rapidly induce an effect; in aquatic toxicity tests, an effect observed in 96 hours or less typically is considered acute. When referring to aquatic toxicology or human health, an acute effect is not always measured in terms of lethality.

Acute means measurements of biological effects using surface sediment bioassays conducted for time periods that are relatively short in comparison to the life cycle of the test organism. Acute effects may include mortality, larval abnormality, or other endpoints determined appropriate by the department.
