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) Раздел биологии, занимающийся изучением структуры, функций, патологий и историей жизни клеток.
2) Цитологические аспекты процесса или структуры.
Industry:Medical
Химическое соединение, образованное путем объединения двух радикалов или молекул более простого состава; полимер, образованный двумя молекулами мономеров.
Industry:Medical
1) Состояние анатомической структуры, расширенной за пределы нормальных размеров.
2) Наличие расширений в тканях или органах, обусловленное, как правило, патофизиологическим процессом.
Industry:Medical
1) Увеличить, растянуть или вызвать увеличение в размере (например, расширить зрачки атропином, препаратом, расширяющим периферические артерии).
2) Стать больше в размере или распухнуть (шейка расширялась; зрачки рсширены).
Industry:Medical
1) Система желез, которые выпускают свои секреты (гормоны) непосредственно в систему кровообращения. Кроме эндокринных желез в эту систему также входят хромаффинная система и нейросекреторные системы.
2) Собирательное определение тканей организма, отвечающих за секрецию гормонов.
Industry:Medical
Любое аномальное развитие, анатомическое или биохимическое, явно определяемое при рождении или в течение неонатального периода.
Industry:Medical
1) A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication.
2) Repeated copying of a piece of DNA; a characteristic of tumor cells.
3) Gene amplification is an increase in the number of copies of a gene sequence. Cancer cells sometimes produce multiple copies of genes in response to signals from other cells or their environment. The term also can refer to polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a laboratory technique that is used by scientists to amplify gene sequences in a test tube.
Industry:Medical
The larger part of a hollow organ that is farthest away from the organ's opening. The bladder, gallbladder, stomach, uterus, eye, and cavity of the middle ear all have a fundus.
Industry:Medical
A membranous muscular sac in which bile from the liver is stored--called also cholecyst.
Industry:Medical
Genetic discrimination is prejudice directed against people who have or may have a genetic disease. Genetic discrimination can involve being denied employment or health insurance. In a healthcare context, it can refer to people being treated based on their genetic status rather than by some more relevant criterion.
