| surgical pathology | A field in anatomical pathology concerned with examination of tissues removed from living patients for the purpose of diagnosis of disease and guidance in the care of patients. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| dental pathology | The branch of dentistry concerned with the aetiology, pathogenesis, and clinical, gross, and microscopic aspects of oral and paraoral disease, including oral soft tissues, the teeth, jaws, and salivary glands. Synonym: dental pathology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| symptoms and general pathology | manifestations of disease and pathological conditions which may occur in various diseases and different organs (12 Dec 1998) |
| oral pathology | The branch of dentistry concerned with the aetiology, pathogenesis, and clinical, gross, and microscopic aspects of oral and paraoral disease, including oral soft tissues, the teeth, jaws, and salivary glands. Synonym: dental pathology. (05 Mar 2000) |
| functional pathology | Pathology pertaining to abnormalities in function of a tissue, organ, or part, with or without associated changes in structure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lupus glomerulonephritis-pathology | Patient survival and preservation of renal function are predictable from renal pathology as demonstrated by biopsy and defined by the histological classification of the International Study of Kidney Disease in Children/World Health Organization (ISKDC/WHO). Semi-quantitative indices of nephron loss (chronicity index) and activity of acute potentially reversible inflammation (activity index) are not predictive of individual outcome, renal failure or death in patients with aggressively treated SLE GN.

| relative molecular mass | The sum of the atomic weight's of all the atoms constituting a molecule; the mass of a molecule relative to the mass of a standard atom, now 12C (taken as 12.000). Relative molecular mass (Mr) is the mass relative to the dalton and has no units. See: atomic weight. Synonym: molecular mass, molecular weight ratio, relative molecular mass. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gram-molecular weight | Molecular weight expressed in grams. Compare: mole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cloning, molecular | The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| models, molecular | Models used experimentally or theoretically to study molecular shape, electronic properties, or interactions; includes analogous molecules, computer-generated graphics, and mechanical structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| molecular | <chemistry> Of, pertaining to or composed of molecules: a very small mass of matter. (18 Nov 1997) |
| molecular behaviour | <psychology> Behaviour described in small response units rather than larger ones; a specific response. Compare: molar behaviour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular biology | <study> The study of the biochemistry of cells, it is closely linked to cell biology, in particular the biochemistry of DNA and cogeners. (16 Dec 1997) |
| molecular biophysics | Biophysics concerned with membrane processes, conformational and configurational properties of macromolecules, bioelectrical phenomena, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular chaperones | A family of cellular proteins that mediate the correct assembly or disassembly of other polypeptides, and in some cases their assembly into oligomeric structures, but which are not components of those final structures. It is believed that chaperone proteins assist polypeptides to self-assemble by inhibiting alternative assembly pathways that produce nonfunctional structures. Some classes of molecular chaperones are the nucleoplasmins, the chaperonins, the heat-shock proteins 70, and the heat-shock proteins 90. (12 Dec 1998) |
