Sensory Aids
|
D012682 |
[Devices that help people with impaired sensory responses.

|
Sensory Art Therapies
|
D026421 |
[Therapies using arts or directed at the senses.

|
Sensory Deprivation
|
D012683 |
[The absence or restriction of the usual external sensory stimuli to which the individual responds.
] |
|
Sensory Gating
|
D055139 |
[The ability of the BRAIN to suppress neuronal responses to external sensory inputs, such as auditory and visual stimuli. Sensory filtering (or gating) allows humans to block out irrelevant, meaningless, or redundant stimuli.
] |
|
Sensory Receptor Cells
|
D011984 |
[Specialized afferent neurons capable of transducing sensory stimuli into NERVE IMPULSES to be transmitted to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Sometimes sensory receptors for external stimuli are called exteroceptors; for internal stimuli are called interoceptors and proprioceptors.

|
Sensory Rhodopsins
|
D025603 |
[Photosensory rhodopsins found in microorganisms such as HALOBACTERIA. They convert light signals into biochemical information that regulates certain cellular functions such as flagellar motor activity.
] |
|
Sensory System Agents
|
D018689 |
[Drugs that act on neuronal sensory receptors resulting in an increase, decrease, or modification of afferent nerve activity. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p367)
] |
|
Sensory Thresholds
|
D012684 |
[The minimum amount of stimulus energy necessary to elicit a sensory response.
] |
|
Sentinel Lymph Node
|
D000071036 |
[First lymph node to receive drainage from the primary tumor. SENTINEL LYMPH NODE BIOPSY is performed to determine early METASTASIS status because cancer cells may appear first in the sentinel node.
] |
|
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
|
D021701 |
[A diagnostic procedure used to determine whether LYMPHATIC METASTASIS has occurred. The SENTINEL LYMPH NODE is the first lymph node to receive drainage from a neoplasm.
] |
|
Sentinel Species
|
D000072739 |
[Organisms used to determine measurable environmental risks or hazards to human health and or well-being, thereby serving as advance or early warning signs of impending danger to humans. Examples of sentinel species are monkeys, guinea pigs, and the fabled canary in the coal mine.
] |
|
Sentinel Surveillance
|
D018571 |
[Monitoring of rate of occurrence of specific conditions to assess the stability or change in health levels of a population. It is also the study of disease rates in a specific cohort such as in a geographic area or population subgroup to estimate trends in a larger population. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)

|
Seoul
|
D066106 |
[The capital of SOUTH KOREA.
] |
|
Seoul virus
|
D029263 |
[A species of HANTAVIRUS causing a less severe form of HEMORRHAGIC FEVER WITH RENAL SYNDROME in Asia (primarily Korea and Japan). It is transmitted by rats, especially Rattus rattus and R. norvegicus.
] |
|
Separase
|
D064247 |
[Separase is a caspase-like cysteine protease, which plays a central role in triggering ANAPHASE by cleaving the SCC1/RAD21 subunit of the cohesin complex. Cohesin holds the sister CHROMATIDS together during METAPHASE and its cleavage results in chromosome segregation.

|
Sepharose
|
D012685 |
|
|
Sepia
|
D049833 |
[A genus of cuttlefish in the family Sepiidae. They live in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters in most oceans.
] |
|
Sepsis
|
D018805 |
[Septicemia caused by pyogenic microorganisms (e.g., STAPHYLOCOCCUS; BACILLUS), resulting in the formation of secondary foci of SUPPURATION and multiple ABSCESSES.
, Systemic disease associated with the presence of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins in the blood.
, Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.
, Sepsis associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection.
] |
|
Sepsis-Associated Encephalopathy
|
D065166 |
[Acute neurological dysfunction during severe SEPSIS in the absence of direct brain infection characterized by systemic inflammation and BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER perturbation.
] |
|
Septal Nuclei
|
D012686 |
[Neural nuclei situated in the septal region. They have afferent and cholinergic efferent connections with a variety of FOREBRAIN and BRAIN STEM areas including the HIPPOCAMPAL FORMATION, the LATERAL HYPOTHALAMUS, the tegmentum, and the AMYGDALA. Included are the dorsal, lateral, medial, and triangular septal nuclei, septofimbrial nucleus, nucleus of diagonal band, nucleus of anterior commissure, and the nucleus of stria terminalis.
