Label	Id	Description
Problem with Sexual Interest or Activity	NCIT_C125408	[A question about whether an individual has or had problems with sexual interest or activity.]
Metronidazole Hydrochloride	NCIT_C48005	[The hydrochloride salt of a synthetic nitroimidazole derivative with antiprotozoal and antibacterial activities. Although its mechanism of action is not fully elucidated, un-ionized metronidazole is readily taken up by obligate anaerobic organisms and is subsequently reduced by low-redox potential electron-transport proteins to an active, intermediate product. Reduced metronidazole causes DNA strand breaks, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis and bacterial cell growth.]
Trichomonacide Agent	NCIT_C279	[Any agent that can kill and/or inhibit the growth of anaerobic protists of Trichomonas genus.]
Have Dizziness	NCIT_C125409	[A question about whether an individual has or had dizziness.]
Naproxen Sodium	NCIT_C48006	[The sodium salt form of naproxen, a member of the arylacetic acid group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with anti-inflammatory analgesic and antipyretic properties. Naproxen sodium reversibly and competitively inhibits cyclooxygenases (COX), thereby blocking the conversion of arachidonic acid to pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. This inhibits the formation of prostaglandins that are involved in pain, inflammation and fever.]
Ondansetron Hydrochloride	NCIT_C48007	[The hydrochloride salt of the racemic form of ondansetron, a carbazole derivative and a selective, competitive serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist with antiemetic activity. Although its mechanism of action has not been fully characterized, ondansetron appears to competitively block the action of serotonin at 5HT3 receptors peripherally in the gastrointestinal tract as well as centrally in the area postrema of the CNS, where the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) for vomiting is located, resulting in the suppression of chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.]
Lidocaine Hydrochloride	NCIT_C48000	[The hydrochloride salt from of lidocaine, an aminoethylamide and a prototypical member of the amide class anesthetics. Lidocaine interacts with voltage-gated Na+ channels in the nerve cell membrane and blocks the transient increase in permeability of excitable membranes to Na+. This prevents the generation and conduction of nerve impulses and produces a reversible loss of sensation. Lidocaine hydrochloride also exhibits class IB antiarrhythmic effects. The agent decreases the flow of sodium ions into myocardial tissue, especially on the Purkinje network, during phase 0 of the action potential, thereby decreasing depolarization, automaticity and excitability.]
Almost Constantly	NCIT_C125404	[A response indicating that something was occurring or recurring nearly continually without interruption.]
Magnesium Acetate Tetrahydrate	NCIT_C48001	[The hydrated acetate salt form of magnesium. Magnesium is a divalent cation essential for a number of biochemical processes involved in nerve signaling, bone mineralization and muscle contractions. About 350 enzymes involved in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, formation of cyclic-AMP and ATP, cellular signal transduction and protein and nucleic acid synthesis are dependent on magnesium.]
Have Difficulty Concentrating	NCIT_C125405	[A question about whether an individual has or had difficulty concentrating.]
Melphalan Hydrochloride	NCIT_C48002	[A bifunctional alkylating agent and phenylalanine derivative of nitrogen mustard. Melphalan hydrochloride is converted into highly reactive ethylenimmonium intermediates that induce covalent guanine N7-N7 intra- and inter-crosslinks and alkylation of adenine N3 of DNA. This agent also alkylates RNA and protein structures. As a result RNA transcription and protein synthesis are inhibited, ultimately leading to cell growth arrest and/or death.]
Problem with Urination	NCIT_C125406	[A question about whether an individual has or had a problem with urination.]
Methylprednisolone Acetate	NCIT_C48003	[The acetate salt of a synthetic glucocorticoid receptor agonist with immunosuppressive and antiinflammatory effects. Methylprednisolone acetate is converted into active prednisolone in the body, which activates glucocorticoid receptor mediated gene expression. This includes inducing synthesis of anti-inflammatory protein IkappaB-alpha and inhibiting synthesis of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB). As a result, proinflammatory cytokine production such as IL-1, IL-2 and IL-6 is down-regulated and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte activation is inhibited. Therefore, an overall reduction in chronic inflammation and autoimmune reactions may be achieved.]
Have Sweats	NCIT_C125407	[A question about whether an individual has or had sweats.]
Bristol Stool Type 7	NCIT_C125400	[Liquid consistency with no solid pieces; indicative of diarrhea.]
Bristol Stool Scale	NCIT_C125393	[A medical scale designed to classify human feces into seven categories by form.]
How Much Distress Other Symptom 1	NCIT_C125401	[A question about an individual's distress from the first of their other symptoms.]
How Much Distress Other Symptom 2	NCIT_C125402	[A question about an individual's distress from the second of their other symptoms.]
How Much Distress Other Symptom 3	NCIT_C125403	[A question about an individual's distress from the third of their other symptoms.]
Spondyloepimetaphyseal Dysplasia with Joint Laxity Type 2	NCIT_C125419	[A rare disorder caused by mutation in the KIF22 gene. It is characterized by short stature, midface retrusion, progressive knee malalignment, generalized ligamentous laxity, and mild spinal deformity.]
