Androgens, Anabolic Steroids, Antiandrogens Androgens are masculinizing substanc- es. The endogenous male gonadal hor- mone is the steroid testosterone from the interstitial Leydig cells of the testis. Testosterone secretion is stimulated by hypophyseal luteinizing hormone (LH)[r]
Effusions that are noticeably rich in eosinophilic granulocytes should raise the suspicion of Hodgkin disease, generalized reaction to the pres- ence of a tumor, or an allergic or autoimmune disorder. Purely lymphatic effusions are particularly suggestive of tuberculosis. In add[r]
A sample of capillary blood may be taken when there are no further tests that would require venous access for a larger sample volume. A well- perfused fingertip or an earlobe is ideal; in newborns or young infants, the heel is also a good site. If the circulation is poor, the blood flow can b[r]
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Related Diseases A chronic lymphadenoma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, can some- times be clinically diagnosed with some certainty. An example is the case of a patient (usually older) with clearly enlarged lymph nodes and signifi- cant lymphocytos[r]
Drug Allergy The immune system normally functions to rid the organism of invading foreign particles, such as bacteria. Immune re- sponses can occur without appropriate cause or with exaggerated intensity and may harm the organism, for instance, when allergic reactions are caused[r]

Migraine Migraine is a syndrome characterized by recurrent attacks of intense head- ache and nausea that occur at irregular intervals and last for several hours. In classic migraine, the attack is typically heralded by an “aura” accompanied by spreading homonymous visu[r]
The chlamydia presents a different clinical picture in developed societies where it is benign and affects the genitals as well as the eye and is called TRIC (trachoma inclusion conjunctivitis). The clinical features vary considerably. At the initial stage, it may be asymptomatic, or may present wi[r]
surface syndecan receptors. In basement membranes the major heparan sulfate proteoglycan is perlecan (Timpl, 1994). With three heparan sulfate side chains attached to the amino-terminal region, its core protein is multimodular in structure, having borrowed structural motifs from a variety of[r]
Report parameterization Report parameterization allows end users to customize results of Pentaho reports, by entering values that limit report datasets or trigger rendering decisions. Using the DataFactory API, Pentaho Reporting provides a mechanism to provide parameters to data sourc[r]
In this dissertation a finite element biomechanical modeling approach has been proposed to build a physics-based atlas of the human brain from an anatomical brain atlas called _Cerefy_..[r]
