νηστεία


Explanation:
Από το Λεξικό Βιολογικών και Ιατρικών Όρων των Παταργιά - Σέκερη, Ελληνικές Επιστημονικές Εκδόσεις (1997)

Ίσως 'νηστεία' να εννοεί ότι ο ασθενής δεν θα πρέπει να έχει φάει κάτι το προηγούμενο 12ωρο. (Επίσης για τον ίδιο όρο δίνει και τα: ανθεκτικός, γρήγορος. Αλλά δεν φαίνεται να έχουν κάποιο συσχετισμό).
