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) Of, relating to, or affecting the intestines (enteric diseases); broadly: alimentary.
2) Being or possessing a coating designed to pass through the stomach unaltered and to disintegrate in the intestines (enteric aspirin).
Industry:Health care
1) Of, relating to, or affecting the right and left sides of the body or the right and left members of paired organs.
2) Having bilateral symmetry.
Industry:Health care
1) Of, relating to, or being a corona.
2) Lying in the direction of the coronal suture.
3) Of or relating to the frontal plane that passes through the long axis of the body.
Industry:Health care
1) Of, relating to, or occurring at night (nocturnal myoclonus).
2) Characterized by nocturnal activity (a nocturnal form of filariasis).
Industry:Health care
1) One (as a dentist or surgeon) who performs surgical operations.
2) A binding site in a DNA chain at which a genetic repressor binds to inhibit the initiation of transcription of messenger RNA by one or more nearby structural genes--called also operator gene.
Industry:Health care
1) One gene interferes with or prevents the expression of another gene located at a different locus.
2) Epistasis is a circumstance where the expression of one gene is affected by the expression of one or more independently inherited genes. For example, if the expression of gene #2 depends on the expression of gene #1, but gene #1 becomes inactive, then the expression of gene #2 will not occur. In this example, gene #1 is said to be epistatic to gene #2.
Industry:Health care
1) One of a pair of thick-walled tubes that transports urine from the kidney pelvis to the bladder.
2) Organ with organ cavity which connects the renal sinus to the urinary bladder. Examples: There are only two ureters, the right and the left ureters.
3) Fibromuscular tube which conveys urine from the kidney to the bladder.
Industry:Health care
1) One of a set of gestures used to represent language.
2) An objective evidence of disease especially as observed and interpreted by the physician rather than by the patient or lay observer (narrow retinal vessels are a sign of arteriosclerosis).
Industry:Health care
1) One of the thyroid hormones; an organic iodine containing compound secreted in small amounts by the thyroid gland; most circulating triiodothyroinine is produced by the deiodination of thyroxine in the peripheral tissues.
2) A thyroid hormone. Also called triiodothyronine or liothyronine sodium.
Industry:Health care
1) One of the two photoreceptor cell types in the vertebrate retina. In cones the photopigment is in invaginations of the cell membrane of the outer segment. Cones are less sensitive to light than rods, but they provide vision with higher spatial and temporal acuity, and the combination of signals from cones with different pigments allows color vision.
2) Type of specialized light-sensitive cell (photoreceptor) in the retina of the eye that provides sharp central vision and color vision.
