Rat Testis	NCIT_C60625
Cell Stress Process	NCIT_C21065	[Cellular or subcellular processes involved in disturbance or restoration of a homeostatic condition. (NCI)]
Pathologic Process	NCIT_C16956	[A biologic function or a process having an abnormal or deleterious effect at the subcellular, cellular, multicellular, or organismal level.]
Cellular Stress	NCIT_C21066	[Cellular or subcellular processes involved with significant disturbance from a homeostatic condition. (NCI)]
Cellular Stress Response	NCIT_C21067	[Cellular or subcellular processes involved in restoration of a homeostatic condition.]
DNA Sequence Alteration Process	NCIT_C21068	[Any subcellular process affecting molecular sequence that results in a specific and defined change in the primary sequence of a double-stranded DNA.]
Macromolecular Sequence Alteration Process	NCIT_C19152	[Any subcellular process that results in a specific change in the primary sequence of a biological macromolecule.]
Laminectomy	NCIT_C21061	[The excision of one or more vertebral posterior arches to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.]
Head and Neck Surgery	NCIT_C15454	[Any surgery involving a structure in the head and neck region.]
Vertebral Bone	NCIT_C33868	[One of twenty-four bones that make up the vertebral column.]
Actinotherapy	NCIT_C21062	[The use of light at various frequencies to produce thermal analgesia and prevent damage to nerve and muscle tissue. It includes ultraviolet, infrared, and low-emission laser frequencies.]
Low Emission Laser Therapy	NCIT_C21063	[Use of low-emission laser therapy has been shown to reduce pain when applied directly to the painful area or to acupuncture points. The mechanism is unknown. It has also been shown to postpone post-traumatic neural degeneration. (from Kanner)]
Pain Therapy	NCIT_C15180	[(i) the systematic study of clinical and basic science and its application for the reduction of pain and suffering; (ii) the blending of tools, techniques and principles taken from the discrete healing art disciplines and reformulated as a holistic application for the reduction of pain and suffering; and (iii) a newly emerging discipline emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach with a goal of reduction of pain and suffering. (AAPM)]
Protein Turnover	NCIT_C21064	[The normal "downside" of protein steady state metabolism in cells, involving conjugation, transport, oxidation, and proteolysis; not to be confuse with proteolysis, which applies only to peptide bond hydrolysis.]
Degradation	NCIT_C61559	[The reduction of a chemical compound to one less complex, as by splitting off one or more groups.]
Intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia	NCIT_C21060	[A method of intravenous narcotic analgesic delivery that uses a pump or similar delivery system that allows the patient, or in the absence of the patient's ability to do so the patient's nurse or family members, to administer predetermined doses of analgesic as needed to maintain adequate pain control. This method allows the patient and/or family to have increased autonomy. Further, research has shown improved pain control and reductions in narcotics necessary to maintain pain control to be associated with this delivery method.]
Diffuse Infiltrative Lymphocytosis Syndrome	NCIT_C35699	[This is usually an oligoclonal CD8+ lymphocytic infiltration of various organs.]
Syndrome	NCIT_C28193	[A group of signs, symptoms, and clinicopathological characteristics that may or may not have a genetic basis and collectively define an abnormal condition.]
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome	NCIT_C2851	[A syndrome resulting from the acquired deficiency of cellular immunity caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is characterized by the reduction of the Helper T-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and the lymph nodes. Symptoms include generalized lymphadenopathy, fever, weight loss, and chronic diarrhea. Patients with AIDS are especially susceptible to opportunistic infections (usually pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, tuberculosis, candida infections, and cryptococcosis), and the development of malignant neoplasms (usually non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma). The human immunodeficiency virus is transmitted through sexual contact, sharing of contaminated needles, or transfusion of contaminated blood.]
