Glycerin	NCIT_C29077	[A trihydroxyalcohol with localized osmotic diuretic and laxative effects. Glycerin elevates the blood plasma osmolality thereby extracting water from tissues into interstitial fluid and plasma. This agent also prevents water reabsorption in the proximal tubule in the kidney leading to an increase in water and sodium excretion and a reduction in blood volume. Administered rectally, glycerin exerts a hyperosmotic laxative effect by attracting water into the rectum, thereby relieving constipation. In addition, glycerin is used as a solvent, humectant and vehicle in various pharmaceutical preparations.]
HAQ-DI Without VAS - Run Errands and Shop	NCIT_C132603	[Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index Without Pain Visual Analog Scale (HAQ-DI Without VAS) Activities: Are you able to run errands and shop?]
Homeobox Protein CDX-1	NCIT_C107669	[Homeobox protein CDX-1 (265 aa, ~28 kDa) is encoded by the human CDX1 gene. This protein is involved in the modulation of gene expression in the intestine.]
Dermal Nodule	NCIT_C54012
Skin Nodule	NCIT_C3373	[A benign or malignant round or oval and elevated solid lesion that arises from the skin or subcutaneous tissue.]
Glycopyrrolate	NCIT_C29078	[A synthetic quaternary ammonium that is an anticholinergic agent with antispasmodic activity. Glycopyrrolate competitively binds to peripheral muscarinic receptors in the autonomic effector cells of, and inhibits cholinergic transmission in smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, the sinoatrial (SA) node, the atrioventricular (AV) node, exocrine glands and in the autonomic ganglia. Blockage of cholinergic transmission, in smooth muscle cells located in the gastrointestinal tract and the bladder, causes smooth muscle relaxation and prevents the occurrence of painful spasms. In addition, glycopyrrolate inhibits the release of gastric, pharyngeal, tracheal, and bronchial secretions.]
HAQ-DI Without VAS - Get In and Out of a Car	NCIT_C132604	[Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index Without Pain Visual Analog Scale (HAQ-DI Without VAS) Activities: Are you able to get in and out of a car?]

Switch Device	NCIT_C50199	[A mechanical or electronic device designed to break or change the connections in a circuit.]
Glyoktyl	NCIT_C29079	[A Danish brand name for a laxative product containing glycerin and docusate sodium. As a hyperosmotic laxative, glycerin draws water into the bowel from surrounding tissues, thereby softening the stool and increasing bowel action. Docusate sodium acts as a surface-active agent (emollient) that promotes the mixing of intestinal liquid and dry stool. (NCI04)]
HAQ-DI Without VAS - Able to Do Chores	NCIT_C132605	[Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index Without Pain Visual Analog Scale (HAQ-DI Without VAS) Activities: Are you able to do chores such as vacuuming or yardwork?]

Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor	NCIT_C6906	[An aggressive malignant embryonal neoplasm arising from the central nervous system. It is composed of cells with a large eccentric nucleus, prominent nucleolus, and abundant cytoplasm. Mutations of the INI1 gene or very rarely SMARCA4 (BRG1) gene are present.
