| open reduction of fractures | Reduction by manipulation of bone, after incision in skin and muscle over the site of the fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| open skull fracture | A fracture with laceration of overlying scalp and/or mucous membrane. Synonym: compound skull fracture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| open system | A system that exchanges energy and materials with the outside environment. (09 Oct 1997) |
| open tuberculosis | Pulmonary tuberculosis, tuberculous ulceration, or other form in which the tubercle bacilli are present in the excretions or secretions; in the lung, usually the result of cavity formation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| open wound | A wound in which the tissues are exposed to the air. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fractures, open | Fractures in which there is an external wound communicating with the break of the bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acromial end of clavicle | The flattened lateral end of the clavicle that articulates with the acromion and is anchored to the coracoid process by the conoid and trapezoid ligaments. Synonym: extremitas acromialis claviculae, acromial end of clavicle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| blunt-end DNA | <molecular biology> A fragment of a DNA molecule in which the ends of both strands are even with each other rather than one strand being longer than the other. (09 Oct 1997) |
| blunt-end ligation | A lab technique to join together two pieces of blunt-end DNA, such as an insert into a cloning vector, which requires the enzyme ligase because there are no single-stranded overhanging ends for the attachment to form more spontaneously, by itself. (09 Oct 1997) |

| capped 5'-end | A methylated (has a -CH3 attached) guanosine nucleotide attached to the 5'-end (the beginning) of an eukaryotic mRNA, thought to give the mRNA stability. (09 Oct 1997) |
| glycosylation end products, advanced | Products derived from the nonenzymatic reaction of glucose and proteins in vivo that exhibit a yellow-brown pigmentation and an ability to participate in protein-protein cross-linking. These substances are involved in biological processes relating to protein turnover and it is believed that their excessive accumulation contributes to the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus.
