All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Tocopherylquinone	NCIT_C126913	[An oxidized form of alpha-tocopherol with potent anticoagulant activity. Although the mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, dietary supplementation with tocopherylquinone may lead to the inhibition of the vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylase (gamma-glutamyl carboxylase). This prevents the carboxylation of glutamyl residues in coagulation factor proteins and inhibits platelet aggregation and clotting.]
Vitamin E Compound	NCIT_C942	[A natural fat-soluble antioxidant with potential chemopreventive activity. Also known as tocopherol, vitamin E ameliorates free-radical damage to biological membranes, protecting polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) within membrane phospholipids and within circulating lipoproteins. Peroxyl radicals react 1000-fold faster with vitamin E than with PUFA. In the case of oxygen free radical-mediated tumorigenesis, vitamin E may be chemopreventive. (NCI04)]
Magnitude	NCIT_C49158	[Greatness in size or extent; a number assigned to a quantity so that it may be compared with other quantities. (Dictionary.com)]
Feel Fear or Panic When Difficult to Get Breath	NCIT_C126914	[A question about an individual feeling fear or panic when they had difficulty getting their breath.]
Stillbirth	NCIT_C49151	[A fetus of at least 20 weeks gestation, or of a birth weight of at least 350 grams if the gestational age is unknown, that is born without signs of life at the time of delivery, and with an Apgar score of zero at both one and five minutes.]
Case	NCIT_C49152	[A problem requiring investigation.]
Sequential	NCIT_C49153	[An event or action that occurs successively after another.]
Statement	NCIT_C49154	[A verbal and/or written message that asserts, affirms, or declares something.]
2'-5'-Oligoadenylate	NCIT_C126910	[An oligonucleotide synthesized from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by enzymes in the 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthase family. The production of 2'-5'-oligoadenylate is stimulated by the presence of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) and binds to inactive monomeric forms of ribonuclease L (RNase L), thereby promoting RNase L dimerization and activation. Active RNase L degrades both cellular and viral RNAs, which inhibits protein translation and leads to the abrogation of viral replication. 2'-5'-oligoadenylates play a key role in the innate immunity against viruses.]
Dimension	NCIT_C25483	[The magnitude of something in a particular direction, especially length or width or height.]

Melanoma of the Ciliary Body and Choroid pT4c TNM Finding v7	NCIT_C88704	[Tumor size category 4 without ciliary body involvement but with extraocular extension less than or equal to 5 mm in diameter. (from AJCC 7th Ed.)]
Melanoma of the Ciliary Body and Choroid pT3d TNM Finding v7	NCIT_C88700	[Tumor size category 3 with ciliary body involvement and extraocular extension less than or equal to 5 mm in diameter. (from AJCC 7th Ed.)]
