1) Persistent flexure or contracture of a joint.
2) Congenital fixation of a joint in an extended or flexed position.
3) Any of a group of congenital conditions characterized by reduced mobility of multiple joints due to contractures causing fixation of the joints in extension or flexion.

1) Pharmacogenomics is a branch of pharmacology concerned with using DNA and amino acid sequence data to inform drug development and testing. An important application of pharmacogenomics is correlating individual genetic variation with drug responses.
2) A biotechnological science that combines the techniques of medicine, pharmacology, and genomics and is concerned with developing drug therapies to compensate for genetic differences in patients which cause varied responses to a single therapeutic regimen.
3) The study of the interaction of an individual's genetic makeup and response to a drug.
4) The study of how a person's genes affect the way he or she responds to drugs. Pharmacogenomics is being used to learn ahead of time what the best drug or the best dose of a drug will be for a person. Also called pharmacogenetics.

1) Physiologically potent compounds of ubiquitous occurrence formed from essential fatty acids and affecting the nervous system, female reproductive organs, and metabolism.
2) A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes.
Industry:Health care
1) Pigmented vascular coat of the eyeball, consisting of choroid, ciliary body, and iris.
2) The middle layer of the eye consisting of the iris and ciliary body together with the choroid coat -- called also vascular tunic.

1) Polypeptide that is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland; affects protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism; stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth.
2) A peptide hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland and regulates several physiologic processes, including growth and metabolism.(NCI)
Industry:Health care
1) Positively charged atoms, radicals or groups of atoms which travel to the cathode or negative pole during electrolysis.
2) The ion in an electrolyzed solution that migrates to the cathode; broadly: a positively charged ion.
