The innate immune system, also known as the nonspecific immune system and the first line of defense,[1] is an important subsystem of the overall immune system that comprises the cells and mechanism...
rhAPC has been the subject of significant controversy since its approval for clinical use in 2001. A 2011 Cochrane review concluded that it does not decrease mortality in severe sepsis or septic sh...
A vasopressin receptor antagonist (VRA) is an agent which interferes with action at the vasopressin receptors. Most commonly VRAs are used in the treatment of hyponatremia, especially in patients w...
In biochemistry, an oxidoreductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from one molecule, the reductant, also called the electron donor, to another, the oxidant, also called the e...
Concentrating/separating particles
A pressure sensor measures pressure, typically of gases or liquids. Pressure is an expression of the force required to stop a fluid from expanding, and is usually stated in terms of force per unit ...
A display device is an output device for presentation of information in visual[1] or tactile form (the latter used for example in tactile electronic displays for blind people).[2] When the input in...
As skin ages, it becomes thinner and more easily damaged. Intensifying this effect is the decreasing ability of skin to heal itself as a person ages. Among other things, skin aging is noted by a...
Yeast is used in winemaking, where it converts the sugars present in grape juice (must) into ethanol. Yeast is normally already present on grape skins. Fermentation can be done with this endogenous...
Indoleamine-pyrrole 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO or INDO EC 1.13.11.52) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the IDO1 gene.[1][2] This enzyme catalyzes the degradation of the essential amino acid L-tr...
Arthritis (from Greek arthro-, joint + -itis, inflammation; plural: arthritides) is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints.[1][2] There are over 100 different for...
