All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Glycosylation	NCIT_C21034	[The covalent chemical or biochemical addition of carbohydrate or glycosyl groups to other chemicals, by glycosyl transferases.]
Biochemical Reaction	NCIT_C19899	[A chemical process, typically mediated by an enzyme, in which one or more substances (a substrate) are transformed by covalent modification into another substance(s) (a product) or in which the state of a substance is transformed.]
Protein Methylation	NCIT_C21035	[Post-translational enzymatic covalent addition of a methyl group(s) to a peptide or protein.]
Methylation	NCIT_C16848	[The covalent chemical or biochemical addition of a methyl group(s) to a compound. (NCI)]
Inferential Current Treatment	NCIT_C21030	[A non-invasive form of electroanalgesia, based on TENS, that uses the principle of amplitude modulation to decrease the discomfort of stimulating deeper tissues when using transcutaneously applied electrical current. It is often used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation settings. (White, Li, and Chiu)]
Piezo-Electric Current Therapy	NCIT_C21031	[A minimally invasive, experimental form of electroanalgesia based upon the theory that rapid electrical stimulation of A-delta and C pain fibers can lead to nociceptive afferent input depression. This may be due to exogenous endorphin production release after stimulation. (White, Li, and Chiu)]
Ureter Abscess	NCIT_C35666	[An abscess that is located in the ureter.]
Abscess	NCIT_C26686	[An inflammatory process characterized by the accumulation of pus within a newly formed tissue cavity which is the result of a bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infection or the presence of a foreign body.]
Post-biopsy Pain	NCIT_C35667	[A sensation of discomfort secondary to sampling of tissue or bodily fluid.]
Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy	NCIT_C35668	[An early stage of diabetic retinopathy that is characterized by retinal hemorrhage and exudate, but without proliferation of the blood vessels.]
Diabetic Retinopathy	NCIT_C34538	[A chronic, pathological complication associated with diabetes mellitus, where retinal damages are incurred due to microaneurysms in the vasculature of the retina, progressively leading to abnormal blood vessel growth, and swelling and leaking of fluid from blood vessels, resulting in vision loss or blindness.]
Abdominal Infection	NCIT_C35669	[Infection in the abdominal cavity resulting from injury, acute intestinal inflammation (e.g., acute appendicitis), intestinal perforation, or complication of abdominal surgery.]
Abdominal and Gastrointestinal Infection	NCIT_C36070	[An infection that affects the gastrointestinal system and the abdomen.]
Rectal Medullary Carcinoma	NCIT_C60640	[A rare, invasive rectal adenocarcinoma characterized by the presence of sheets of malignant epithelial cells with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. It usually has a favorable prognosis.]
Colorectal Medullary Carcinoma	NCIT_C43590	[A rare, invasive colorectal adenocarcinoma characterized by the presence of sheets of malignant epithelial cells with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. It usually has a favorable prognosis.]
Rectal Adenocarcinoma	NCIT_C9383	[An adenocarcinoma arising from the rectum. It is more frequently seen in populations with a Western type diet and in patients with a history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Signs and symptoms include intestinal bleeding, anemia, and change in bowel habits. According to the degree of cellular differentiation, rectal adenocarcinomas are divided into well, moderately, and poorly differentiated. Histologic variants include mucinous adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, serrated adenocarcinoma, cribriform comedo-type adenocarcinoma, and micropapillary adenocarcinoma.]
Localized Pagetoid Reticulosis	NCIT_C35684	[This is a localized form of pagetoid reticulosis with an excellent prognosis. --2003]
Retired Concept 2005	NCIT_C83481
Colon Medullary Carcinoma	NCIT_C60641	[A rare, invasive colon adenocarcinoma characterized by the presence of sheets of malignant epithelial cells with vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. It usually has a favorable prognosis.]
Colon Adenocarcinoma	NCIT_C4349	[An adenocarcinoma arising from the colon. It is more frequently seen in populations with a Western type diet and in patients with a history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Signs and symptoms include intestinal bleeding, anemia, and change in bowel habits. According to the degree of cellular differentiation, colonic adenocarcinomas are divided into well, moderately, and poorly differentiated. Histologic variants include mucinous adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, serrated adenocarcinoma, cribriform comedo-type adenocarcinoma, and micropapillary adenocarcinoma.]
