Periplasmic Binding Proteins
|
D033902 |
[Periplasmic proteins that scavenge or sense diverse nutrients. In the bacterial environment they usually couple to transporters or chemotaxis receptors on the inner bacterial membrane.

Periplasmic Proteins

D033903 |
[Proteins found in the PERIPLASM of organisms with cell walls.

|
Periploca
|
D031109 |
[A plant genus of the family Apocynaceae. It is a source of periplocosides (pregnane steroid glycosides).

|
Periprosthetic Fractures
|
D057068 |
[Fractures around joint replacement prosthetics or implants. They can occur intraoperatively or postoperatively.

|
Perirhinal Cortex
|
D000071039 |
[An area in the temporal lobe that is important for memory encoding and retrieval. It is bordered caudally by the parahippocampal cortex (see HIPPOCAMPUS) and ventrally and medially by the ENTORHINAL CORTEX.

Perissodactyla
|
D010527 |
[An order of ungulates having an odd number of toes, including the horse, tapir, and rhinoceros. (Dorland, 27th ed)

|
Peristalsis
|
D010528 |
[A movement, caused by sequential muscle contraction, that pushes the contents of the intestines or other tubular organs in one direction.

|
Peritoneal Absorption
|
D065629 |
[Uptake of substances from the PERITONEAL CAVITY.
] |
|
Peritoneal Cavity
|
D010529 |
[The space enclosed by the peritoneum. It is divided into two portions, the greater sac and the lesser sac or omental bursa, which lies behind the STOMACH. The two sacs are connected by the foramen of Winslow, or epiploic foramen.
] |
|
Peritoneal Dialysis
|
D010530 |
[Dialysis fluid being introduced into and removed from the peritoneal cavity as either a continuous or an intermittent procedure.
] |
|
Peritoneal Dialysis, Continuous Ambulatory
|
D010531 |
[Portable peritoneal dialysis using the continuous (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) presence of peritoneal dialysis solution in the peritoneal cavity except for periods of drainage and instillation of fresh solution.
] |
|
Peritoneal Diseases
|
D010532 |
[Pathological processes involving the PERITONEUM.
] |
|
Peritoneal Fibrosis
|
D056627 |
[Disorder characterized by a wide range of structural changes in PERITONEUM, resulting from fibrogenic or inflammatory processes. Peritoneal fibrosis is a common complication in patients receiving PERITONEAL DIALYSIS and contributes to its gradual decrease in efficiency.
] |
|
Peritoneal Lavage
|
D010533 |
[Washing out of the peritoneal cavity. The procedure is a diagnostic as well as a therapeutic technique following abdominal trauma or inflammation.
] |
|
Peritoneal Neoplasms
|
D010534 |
[Tumors or cancer of the PERITONEUM.
] |
|
Peritoneal Stomata
|
D054048 |
[Natural openings in the subdiaphragmatic lymphatic plexus in the PERITONEUM, delimited by adjacent mesothelial cells. Peritoneal stomata constitute the principal pathways for the drainage of intraperitoneal contents from the PERITONEAL CAVITY to the LYMPHATIC SYSTEM.
] |
|
Peritoneovenous Shunt
|
D010536 |
[An operation for the continuous emptying of ascitic fluid into the venous system. Fluid removal is based on intraperitoneal and intrathoracic superior vena cava pressure differentials and is performed via a pressure-sensitive one-way valve connected to a tube traversing the subcutaneous tissue of the chest wall to the neck where it enters the internal jugular vein and terminates in the superior vena cava. It is used in the treatment of intractable ascites.
] |
|
Peritoneum
|
D010537 |
[A membrane of squamous EPITHELIAL CELLS, the mesothelial cells, covered by apical MICROVILLI that allow rapid absorption of fluid and particles in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. The peritoneum is divided into parietal and visceral components. The parietal peritoneum covers the inside of the ABDOMINAL WALL. The visceral peritoneum covers the intraperitoneal organs. The double-layered peritoneum forms the MESENTERY that suspends these organs from the abdominal wall.
] |
|
Peritonitis
|
D010538 |
[INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.
] |
|
Peritonitis, Tuberculous
|
D014395 |
[A form of PERITONITIS seen in patients with TUBERCULOSIS, characterized by lesion either as a miliary form or as a pelvic mass on the peritoneal surfaces. Most patients have ASCITES, abdominal swelling, ABDOMINAL PAIN, and other systemic symptoms such as FEVER; WEIGHT LOSS; and ANEMIA.
