Label	Id	Description
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma	D000077274	[A carcinoma that originates in the EPITHELIUM of the NASOPHARYNX and includes four subtypes: keratinizing squamous cell, non-keratinizing, basaloid squamous cell, and PAPILLARY ADENOCARCINOMA. It is most prevalent in Southeast Asian populations and is associated with EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS INFECTIONS. Somatic mutations associated with this cancer have been identified in NPCR, BAP1, UBAP1, ERBB2, ERBB3, MLL2, PIK3CA, KRAS, NRAS, and ARID1A genes.]
Nasopharyngeal Diseases	D009302	[Pathological processes involving the NASOPHARYNX.]
Nasopharyngeal Neoplasms	D009303	[Tumors or cancer of the NASOPHARYNX.]
Nasopharyngitis	D009304	[Inflammation of the NASOPHARYNX, usually including its mucosa, related lymphoid structure, and glands.]
Nausea	D009325	[An unpleasant sensation in the stomach usually accompanied by the urge to vomit. Common causes are early pregnancy, sea and motion sickness, emotional stress, intense pain, food poisoning, and various enteroviruses.]
Near Drowning	D015701	[Non-fatal immersion or submersion in water. The subject is resuscitable.]
Necatoriasis	D009332	[Infection of humans or animals with hookworms of the genus NECATOR. The resulting anemia from this condition is less severe than that from ANCYLOSTOMIASIS.]
Neck Injuries	D019838	[General or unspecified injuries to the neck. It includes injuries to the skin, muscles, and other soft tissues of the neck.]
Neck Pain	D019547	[Discomfort or more intense forms of pain that are localized to the cervical region. This term generally refers to pain in the posterior or lateral regions of the neck.]
Necrobiosis Lipoidica	D009335	[A degenerative disease of the dermal connective tissue characterized by the development of erythematous papules or nodules in the pretibial area. The papules form plaques covered with telangiectatic vessels. More than half of the affected patients have diabetes.]
Necrobiotic Disorders	D017441	[A group of disorders characterized by swelling, basophilia, and distortion of collagen bundles in the dermis.]
Necrobiotic Xanthogranuloma	D058252	[A cutaneous necrobiotic disorder characterized by firm, yellow plaques or nodules, often in a periorbital distribution. It is often accompanied by an elevated ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE; LEUKOPENIA; and MONOCLONAL GAMMOPATHY (IgG-kappa type) and systemic involvement.]
Necrolytic Migratory Erythema	D058568	[Recurrent cutaneous manifestation of GLUCAGONOMA characterized by necrolytic polycyclic migratory lesions with scaling borders. It is associated with elevated secretion of GLUCAGON by the tumor. Other conditions with elevated serum glucagon levels such as HEPATIC CIRRHOSIS may also result in similar skin lesions, which are referred to as pseudoglucagonoma syndrome.]
Necrosis	D009336	[The pathological process occurring in cells that are dying from irreparable injuries. It is caused by the progressive, uncontrolled action of degradative ENZYMES, leading to MITOCHONDRIAL SWELLING, nuclear flocculation, and cell lysis. It is distinct it from APOPTOSIS, which is a normal, regulated cellular process.]
Needlestick Injuries	D016602	[Penetrating stab wounds caused by needles. They are of special concern to health care workers since such injuries put them at risk for developing infectious disease.]
Neglected Diseases	D058069	[Diseases that are underfunded and have low name recognition but are major burdens in less developed countries. The World Health Organization has designated six tropical infectious diseases as being neglected in industrialized countries that are endemic in many developing countries (HELMINTHIASIS; LEPROSY; LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS; ONCHOCERCIASIS; SCHISTOSOMIASIS; and TRACHOMA).]
Neisseriaceae Infections	D016870	[Infections with bacteria of the family NEISSERIACEAE.]
Nelson Syndrome	D009347	[A syndrome characterized by HYPERPIGMENTATION, enlarging pituitary mass, visual defects secondary to compression of the OPTIC CHIASM, and elevated serum ACTH. It is caused by the expansion of an underlying ACTH-SECRETING PITUITARY ADENOMA that grows in the absence of feedback inhibition by adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS, usually after ADRENALECTOMY.]
Nematode Infections	D009349	[Infections by nematodes, general or unspecified.]
Neointima	D058426	[The new and thickened layer of scar tissue that forms on a PROSTHESIS, or as a result of vessel injury especially following ANGIOPLASTY or stent placement.]
