1. The obliteration of blood vessels with diathermy.
2. The therapeutic generation of local heat in body tissues by high-frequency electromagnetic currents.

The absence of a directed response of a motile organism to a thermal (heat) stimulus.

1. Without heat, no heat; not hot.
2. Not warm; said of springs with water that is below 15 degrees Centigrade.

2. The inability of a substance to transmit infrared radiation or radiant heat.

1. Absorbing radiant heat; not permeable to heat rays.

1. Pertaining to a lack of a fever or with no rise of temperature: Since Pat's temperature didn't get any higher, Dr. Anderson was relieved to see that she was getting closer to the athermic condition that he was striving to achieve for her.
2. A reference to a nonexistent opening of a passage or entrance to heat or heat-rays: The athermic coating on the space shuttle proved to be successful when it re-entered the earth’s atmosphere.
