| trophoblastic tumour, placental site | A tumour that arises from the trophoblast of the placental bed and is composed mainly of cytotrophoblastic cells. It encompasses lesions of low- and high-grade malignancy. (holland et al., cancer medicine, 3d ed, p1691) (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| expression site | The location in the genome of the gene for the variable surface glycoprotein that is currently being expressed (an expression-linked copy) by the trypanosome (a parasitic protozoan which causes the disease African sleeping sickness). most of these sites are near the ends, or telomeres, of a chromosome. (09 Oct 1997) |
| upstream activation site | A DNA sequence that regulates transcription like an enhancer but does notwork if its located downstream from a promoter. (09 Oct 1997) |
| fragile site | Places on chromosomes that tend to break more often than other places. These places also tend to be where chromosomal translocations (a type of chromosomal mutation) occur. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ligand binding site | The site on a protein's surface that binds a ligand; equivalent to the active site if the ligand is the substrate of an enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute decubitus ulcer | A severe form of bedsore, of neutrophic origin, occurring in hemiplegia or paraplegia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Aden ulcer | The lesion occurring in cutaneous leishmaniasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amputating ulcer | An ulcer encircling a limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anastomotic ulcer | An ulcer of jejunum, after gastroenterostomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-ulcer agents | Various agents with different action mechanisms used to treat or ameliorate ulcers or irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aphthous ulcer | <gastroenterology> A type of benign mouth ulcer often caused by injury to the mucosal lining of the oral cavity, viral infection or vitamin deficiency. (27 Sep 1997) |
| atonic ulcer | An ulcer that shows little or no tendency to heal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Buruli ulcer | An ulcer of the skin, with widespread necrosis of subcutaneous fat, due to infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans; occurs in Uganda in persons living on the Nile river banks. Origin: Buruli, district in Uganda (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gaboon ulcer | A form of tropical ulcer affecting the residents of this region; it resembles a syphilitic ulcer, especially in the appearance of its scar. Origin: Gaboon, a region in Africa (05 Mar 2000) |
| varicose ulcer | Ulcer due to varicose veins. Chronic venous insufficiency in the deep veins of the legs leads to shunting the venous return into the superficial veins, in which pressure and flow rate, as well as oxygen content, are increased. (12 Dec 1998) |
