Label	Id	Description
Apolipoproteins A	D001054	[Structural proteins of the alpha-lipoproteins (HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS), including APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I and APOLIPOPROTEIN A-II. They can modulate the activity of LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE. These apolipoproteins are low in atherosclerotic patients. They are either absent or present in extremely low plasma concentration in TANGIER DISEASE.]
Apolipoprotein A-II	D016633	[The second most abundant protein component of HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS or HDL. It has a high lipid affinity and is known to displace APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I from HDL particles and generates a stable HDL complex. ApoA-II can modulate the activation of LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE in the presence of APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I, thus affecting HDL metabolism.]
Radiosurgery	D016634	[A radiological stereotactic technique developed for cutting or destroying tissue by high doses of radiation in place of surgical incisions. It was originally developed for neurosurgery on structures in the brain and its use gradually spread to radiation surgery on extracranial structures as well. The usual rigid needles or probes of stereotactic surgery are replaced with beams of ionizing radiation directed toward a target so as to achieve local tissue destruction., A type of radiosurgery performed with a LINAC radiosurgery system mounted on a robotic manipulator.]
Stereotaxic Techniques	D013238	[Techniques used mostly during brain surgery which use a system of three-dimensional coordinates to locate the site to be operated on.]
Universal Precautions	D016635	[Prudent standard preventive measures to be taken by professional and other health personnel in contact with persons afflicted with a communicable disease, to avoid contracting the disease by contagion or infection. Precautions are especially applicable in the diagnosis and care of AIDS patients.]
Communicable Disease Control	D003140	[Programs of surveillance designed to prevent the transmission of disease by any means from person to person or from animal to man.]
Telefacsimile	D016636	[A telecommunication system combining the transmission of a document scanned at a transmitter, its reconstruction at a receiving station, and its duplication there by a copier.]
Telecommunications	D013685	[Transmission of information over distances via electronic means.]
Copying Processes	D003308	[Reproduction of data in a new location or other destination, leaving the source data unchanged, although the physical form of the result may differ from that of the source.]
Critical Illness	D016638	[A disease or state in which death is possible or imminent.]
Disease Attributes	D020969	[Clinical characteristics of disease or illness.]
Scleroplasty	D016639	[Plastic surgery of the SCLERA. This procedure is used frequently to prevent blindness and poor vision in patients, especially children, with MYOPIA.]
Reconstructive Surgical Procedures	D019651	[Procedures used to reconstruct, restore, or improve defective, damaged, or missing structures.]
Hb FS hemoglobin	C446419
Bronchospirometry	D002000	[Spirometric technique in which the volume of air breathed in the right and left lung is recorded separately.]
Spirometry	D013147	[Measurement of volume of air inhaled or exhaled by the lung.]
Adipose Tissue, Brown	D002001	[A thermogenic form of adipose tissue composed of BROWN ADIPOCYTES. It is found in newborns of many species including humans, and in hibernating mammals. Brown fat is richly vascularized, innervated, and densely packed with MITOCHONDRIA which can generate heat directly from the stored lipids.]
Adipose Tissue	D000273	[Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white., Encapsulated adipose tissue.]
Brucellaceae	D042021	[A family of gram-negative coccoid to rod-shaped bacteria in the order Rhizobiales. They are obligate parasites chiefly of warm-blooded VERTEBRATES. Many are pathogenic.]
Brucella abortus	D002003	[A species of the genus BRUCELLA whose natural hosts are cattle and other bovidae. Abortion and placentitis are frequently produced in the pregnant animal. Other mammals, including humans, may be infected.]
