All terms in BAO

Label	Id	Description
brightfield microscopy	BAO_0000457	[In brightfield microscopy, sample is illuminated with transmitted white light from below and observed from above.]
quartz crystal microbalance	BAO_0000456	[Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technology is based on measuring the resonant frequency of piezoelectric quartz crystals. It allows measurement of important cellular parameters such as adhesion, proliferation and cytotoxicity. It is also used for the identification of protein ligands by immobilized receptors.]
transmission electron microscopy	BAO_0000455	[Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is quite similar to the compound light microscope, by sending an electron beam through a very thin slice of the specimen. The resolution limit in 2005 was approximately 0.05 nanometer and has not increased appreciably since that time.]
peripheral retinal degeneration	DOID_12161
retinal degeneration	DOID_8466	[A retinal disease that is characterized by deterioration of the retina caused by the progressive and eventual death of the cells of the retina.]
carpal tunnel syndrome	DOID_12169
nerve compression syndrome	DOID_573
ulnar nerve lesion	DOID_12168
mononeuritis of upper limb and mononeuritis multiplex	DOID_572
urethral syndrome	DOID_13498
somatostatinoma	DOID_4430
neuroendocrine tumor	DOID_169	[An endocrine gland cancer that has_material_basis_in neuroendocrine cells.]
isothermal titration calorimetry	BAO_0000428	[ITC is a thermodynamic technique that can directly measure the heat released or absorbed during a biomolecular binding event. It can measure the binding affinity (Ka), reaction stoichiometry (n), enthalpy (∆H) and entropy (ΔS) of the interaction between two or more molecules in solution.</obo:IAO_0000115> ]
thoracic outlet syndrome	DOID_3103	[A vascular disease that is characterized by compression at the superior thoracic outlet[1] resulting from excess pressure placed on a neurovascular bundle passing between the anterior scalene and middle scalene muscles.]
vascular disease	DOID_178	[A cardiovascular system disease that primarily affects the blood vessels which includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart.]
skull base neoplasm	DOID_3842
dye binding method	BAO_0000425	[Most often, the mitochondrial membrane potential which is called delta-psi is quantitated by staining with specific dyes whose binding is dependent on the potential.]
electrophysiological method	BAO_0000424	[Electrically active cells, such as neurons, muscle and endocrine cells undergo changes in membrane potential due to depolarization and hyperpolarization as a result of opening and closing of ion channels. The electrical recordings from these cells are obtained by the insertion or attaching microelectrodes to these cells. Patch clamp, voltage clamp and current clamp are three ways of studying the current-voltage relationships of these ion channels.]
central nervous system germ cell tumor	DOID_4439
central nervous system cancer	DOID_3620	[A nervous system cancer that is located_in the central nervous system.]
