https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left%20shift%20%28medicine%29 | Left shift or blood shift is an increase in the number of immature cell types among the blood cells in a sample of blood. Many (perhaps most) clinical mentions of left shift refer to the white blood cell lineage, particularly neutrophil-precursor band cells, thus signifying bandemia. Less commonly, left shift may also ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein%20subcellular%20localization%20prediction | Protein subcellular localization prediction (or just protein localization prediction) involves the prediction of where a protein resides in a cell, its subcellular localization.
In general, prediction tools take as input information about a protein, such as a protein sequence of amino acids, and produce a predicted lo... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilar%20skull%20fracture | A basilar skull fracture is a break of a bone in the base of the skull. Symptoms may include bruising behind the ears, bruising around the eyes, or blood behind the ear drum. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak occurs in about 20% of cases and may result in fluid leaking from the nose or ear. Meningitis occurs in about 14... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir%20%28unit%29 | The langmuir (symbol: L) is a unit of exposure (or dosage) to a surface (e.g. of a crystal) and is used in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) surface physics to study the adsorption of gases. It is a practical unit, and is not dimensionally homogeneous, and so is used only in this field. It is named after American physicist Irvin... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathke%27s%20pouch | In embryogenesis, Rathke's pouch is an evagination at the roof of the developing mouth in front of the buccopharyngeal membrane. It gives rise to the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis), a part of the endocrine system.
Development
Rathke's pouch, and therefore the anterior pituitary, is derived from ectoderm.
The po... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic%20placode | A neurogenic placode is an area of thickening of the epithelium in the embryonic head ectoderm layer that gives rise to neurons and other structures of the sensory nervous system.
Placodes are embryonic structures that give rise to structures such as hair follicles, feathers and teeth. The term "neurogenic placode" ge... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-tubular%20potassium%20gradient | The trans-tubular potassium gradient (TTKG) is an index reflecting the conservation of potassium in the cortical collecting ducts (CCD) of the kidneys. It is useful in diagnosing the causes of hyperkalemia or hypokalemia. The TTKG estimates the ratio of potassium in the lumen of the CCD to that in the peritubular capi... |
