| 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. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute cellular rejection | Graft rejection which usually begins within 10 days after a graft has been transplanted into a genetically dissimilar host. Lesions at the site of the graft characteristically are infiltrated with large numbers of lymphocytes and macrophages which cause tissue damage. See: primary rejection. Synonym: acute rejection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular | 1. Relating to, derived from, or composed of cells. 2. Having numerous compartments or interstices. Origin: L. Cellula, dim. Of cella, storeroom (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular biology | <study> The study of cells. Implies the use of light or electron microscopic methods for the study of morphology. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cellular biophysics | Biophysics concerned with cellular processes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular blue nevus | A large, acquired blue nevus in which melanocytes are often clear and large, alternating with pigmented spindle cells and which may expand deeply into the subcutis; malignant change is very rare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular cartilage | An embryonic or immature stage of cartilage in which it consists chiefly of cells with very little matrix. Synonym: parenchymatous cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular embolism | Embolism due to a mass of cells transported from disintegrating tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular engineering | <technique> The use of techniques for constructing replacement or additional or experimental parts of cells and tissues for both fundamental investigation and as prosthetic devices. Often involves the interfacing of cells and nonliving structures. (26 Mar 1998) |
| cellular immune theory | A concept, put forth by Elie Metchnikoff, that cells, not antibodies, were responsible for the immune response of an organism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular immunity | <cell biology, immunology> Immune response that involves enhanced activity by phagocytic cells and does not imply lymphocyte involvement. Since the term is easily confused with cell-mediated immunity its use in this sense should be avoided. (26 Mar 1998) |
