The National Library of Medicine (NLM), on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, is the world's largest medical library. The Library collects materials and provides information and research services in all areas of biomedicine and health care.
1) Fainting due to a sudden fall of blood pressure below the level required to maintain oxygenation of brain tissue.
2) Loss of consciousness resulting from insufficient blood flow to the brain: faint.

1) Family of cystine-rich proteins that tend to aggregate in side-to- side fashion, forming tough filaments or sheets; main constituent of intermediate filaments in epidermal tissues.
2) Any of various sulfur-containing fibrous proteins that form the chemical basis of horny epidermal tissues (as hair and nails) and are typically not digested by enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract.

1) Family of integral membrane proteins which serve as receptors for fibronectin, laminin, and other adhesive extracellular glycoproteins.
2) Integrins are transmembrane glycoprotein receptors that mediate cell-matrix or cell-cell adhesion, and transduce signals that regulate gene expression and cell growth. They are heterodimeric molecules consisting of noncovalently linked alpha and beta subunits. Different combinations of alpha and beta polypeptides form complexes that vary in their ligand-binding specificities. Both alpha and beta subunits display a cytoplasmic domain that interacts with the cytoskeleton (and possibly signaling molecules), a transmembrane region, and a large extracellular domain that interacts with the extracellular matrix. (from OMIM 147557)
3) Any of various glycoproteins that are found on cell surfaces (as of white blood cells or platelets), that are composed of two dissimilar polypeptide chains, that are receptors for various proteins which typically bind to the tripeptide ligand consisting of arginine, glycine, and aspartic acid, that promote adhesion of cells (as T cells) to other cells (as endothelial cells) or to extracellular material (as fibronectin or laminin), and that mediate various biological processes (as phagocytosis, wound healing, and embryogenesis).

1) Feeling of distress or apprehension whose source is unknown.
2) Vague uneasy feeling of discomfort or dread accompanied by an autonomic response (the source often nonspecific or unknown to the individual); a feeling of apprehension caused by anticipation of danger. It is an alerting signal that warns of impending danger and enables the individual to take measures to deal with threat.
3) Apprehension or fear of impending actual or imagined danger, vulnerability, or uncertainty.

Industry:Health care
1) Field that utilizes protein sequences, expression and structure to determine how proteins relate, interact and function in an organism; includes characterizing and cataloguing proteins and protein libraries, comparing variations in protein expression levels under different conditions, studying protein interactions and functional roles; techniques are performed in an automated, large scale manner; may also involve bioinformatic analysis and storage of data.
2) The systematic study of the complete complement of proteins (proteome) of organisms.
3) A branch of biotechnology concerned with applying the techniques of molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics to analyzing the structure, function, and interactions of the proteins produced by the genes of a particular cell, tissue, or organism, with organizing the information in databases, and with applications of the data (as in medicine or biology).
4) The study of genes, their resulting proteins, and the role played by the proteins the body's biochemical processes.

1) Fixation and immobility of a joint.
2) Stiffness or fixation of a joint by disease or surgery.

1) Flow cytometry is a technique for counting, examining and sorting microscopic particles suspended in a stream of fluid. (from Wikipedia)
2) A technique for identifying and sorting cells and their components (as DNA) by staining with a fluorescent dye and detecting the fluorescence usually by laser beam illumination.
