All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Chordoma	NCIT_C2947	[A malignant bone tumor arising from the remnants of the fetal notochord. Although it can occur at all ages, it is more frequently seen in middle-aged adults. The most frequent sites of involvement are the sacrococcygeal area, spheno-occipital area, and cervico-thoraco-lumbar spine. Microscopically, chordomas are composed of cells that form cords and lobules, separated by mucoid intercellular tissue. Some of the cells are large (physaliphorous) and have vacuolated cytoplasm and prominent vesicular nuclei. Other tumor cells are small with small nuclei without visible nucleoli. Chordomas tend to recur and may metastasize. The most common sites of metastasis are the skin and bone.]
Methaphenilene Hydrochloride	NCIT_C73843
Double	NCIT_C48870	[A 64-bit floating point primitive. When wrapped in an immutable Object, it is called a Double.]
Date Data Type	NCIT_C48871	[A string unique to a time duration of 24 hours between 2 successive midnights defined by the local time zone. The specific representation of a date will depend on which calendar convention is in force as well as local ordering conventions.]
Pralidoxime Mesylate	NCIT_C73848
Transverse Plane	NCIT_C73849	[A horizontal surface or plane perpendicular to a vertical axis.]
Plane	NCIT_C63534	[An imaginary surface formed by extension of a point through any axis or two definite points; any flat two-dimensional surface.]
Optic Vesicle	NCIT_C34236	[One of two small outpouchings formed from the evagination of the optic groove during early eye formation in the developing embryo.]
Sulfonterol Hydrochloride	NCIT_C73844
Sodium Picosulfate	NCIT_C73845
Otic Pit	NCIT_C34238	[An invagination of the otic placode during early embryonic development that will give rise to the otic vesicle and contribute to the formation the inner ear.]
Pirlimycin Hydrochloride	NCIT_C73846	[The hydrochloride salt form of pirlimycin, a derivative of clindamycin with a 6-membered ring replacing clindamycin's 5-membered ring. Compared to clindimycin, pirlimycin has increased activity against gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase negative species of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. This agent is primarily used in the treatment of mastitis in cattle.]
Lincosamide Antibiotic	NCIT_C82922	[Any synthetic or semi-synthetic derivative of lincomycin, first isolated from a soil actinomycete Streptomyces lincolnensis, with antibacterial activity. Lincosamide antibiotics bind to the 23S rRNA in the large 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thereby preventing the peptidyl-tRNA translocation from the A site to the P site. This results in peptidyl-tRNA dissociation from ribosomes, and leads to the release of incomplete proteins, ultimately causing cell death.]
Otic Placodes	NCIT_C34239	[A patch of thickened ectoderm alongside the hindbrain in the early embryo that will give rise to the otic pit.]
Pralidoxime Iodide	NCIT_C73847
Placental Septum	NCIT_C34254	[A wedge-shaped area of decidual tissue that projects toward the chorionic plate and divides the fetal part of the placenta into cotyledons.]
Pleuroperitoneal Membrane	NCIT_C34256	[A membranous fold that forms inferiorly at the septum transversum in the developing embryo to separate the peritoneal cavity from the pleural cavity.]
Posterior Cardinal Vein	NCIT_C34257	[Either of two veins occurring during embryonic development on both sides of the abdomen that drain the lower portion of the fetus into the common cardinal vein.]
Benzindopyrine Hydrochloride	NCIT_C73819
Pharyngeal Groove	NCIT_C34250	[One of a series of paired ectodermal clefts, located on either side of the embryonic pharyngeal foregut, that separate the pharyngeal arches. The first pharyngeal groove forms the external auditory meatus, while all other pharyngeal clefts are obliterated during development.]
