| bee sting kit | An emergency kit carried by those who have a history of sudden and severe allergic reactions to bee stings. The kit generally includes a antihistamine pill and a self-administered adrenaline injection. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| proto-oncogene proteins c-kit | Tyrosine kinase membrane receptors which are the natural ligands for mast cell growth factor (steel factor). This interaction is crucial for the development of haematopoietic, gonadal, and pigment stem cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disaster supplies kit | You and your family can cope best by preparing for disaster before it strikes. One way to prepare is by assembling a Disaster Supplies Kit. Once disaster hits, you won't have time to shop or search for supplies. But if you've gathered supplies in advance, your family can endure an evacuation or home confinement. For useful information, see the MedicineNet site on YOUR FAMILY DISASTER SUPPLIES KIT. (12 Dec 1998) |

| kit | <oncogene> An oncogene, identified in feline sarcoma, encoding a tyrosine protein kinase that acts on stem cell factor. (18 Nov 1997) |
| kit fox | <zoology> Kit fox, a small burrowing fox (Vulpes velox), inhabiting the region of the Rocky Mountains. It is brownish gray, reddish on the breast and flanks, and white below. Called also swift fox. (11 Mar 1998) |
| Armanni-Ebstein change | Glycogen vacuolization of the loops of Henle, seen in diabetics before the introduction of insulin. Synonym: Armanni-Ebstein change. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Baggenstoss change | Distention of pancreatic acini by proteinaceous secretion, seen in dehydration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| change | An alteration; in pathology, structural alteration of which the cause and significance is uncertain. Synonym: shift. (05 Mar 2000) |
| change of life | Colloquialism for menopause, climacteric. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemical change | A process in which one or more substances are changed into one or more different substances. (09 Oct 1997) |
| minimal-change disease | <nephrology> A disorder of the kidneys which largely affects the glomerulus, the blood filtering structure. This disorder is one common cause of nephrotic syndrome, minimal glomerular changes, in children affecting 2 to 3 children per 100,000 population under age 16 in the USA. Minimal change disease is also seen rarely in adults. The cause is unknown but may be related to an autoimmune illness. It is marked by oedema, albuminuria, and an increase in cholesterol in the blood, but otherwise with fairly good renal function. Tubular epithelium is vacuolated by cholesterol droplets, but the glomeruli show only that the foot processes of the glomerular epithelial cells are fused, probably secondary to the proteinuria; the cause of the increased glomerular permeability to plasma protein is unknown. Risk factors include a history for a immune disorder, recent immunisation or a bee sting. Diagnosis is made by renal biopsy. Treatment include systemic corticosteroids which are usually quite effective in curing this disease. Other medications include chlorambucil and cyclophosphamide. In most cases, a moderate protein diet (1 gram protein per Kg body weight per day) will be recommended. Salt (sodium) restriction can be helpful to reduce swelling and vitamin D is usually supplemented. Synonym: lipoid nephrosis (27 Sep 1997) |

| conformational change | <cell biology> Alteration in the shape usually the tertiary structure of a protein as a result of alteration in the environment pH, temperature, ionic strength) or the binding of a ligand (to a receptor) or binding of substrate (to an enzyme). (18 Nov 1997) |
| Crooke's hyaline change | Replacement of cytoplasmic granules of basophil cells of the anterior pituitary by homogenous hyaline material; a characteristic finding in Cushing's syndrome, but usually not present in the cells of a basophil adenoma. Synonym: Crooke's hyaline degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
