Electrophysiology
|
D004594 |
[The study of the generation and behavior of electrical charges in living organisms particularly the nervous system and the effects of electricity on living organisms.

|
Electroplating
|
D004595 |
[Coating with a metal or alloy by electrolysis.
] |
|
Electroporation
|
D018274 |
[A technique in which electric pulses of intensity in kilovolts per centimeter and of microsecond-to-millisecond duration cause a temporary loss of the semipermeability of CELL MEMBRANES, thus leading to ion leakage, escape of metabolites, and increased uptake by cells of drugs, molecular probes, and DNA.

Electroretinography
|
D004596 |
[Recording of electric potentials in the retina after stimulation by light.
] |
|
Electroshock
|
D004597 |
[Induction of a stress reaction in experimental subjects by means of an electrical shock; applies to either convulsive or non-convulsive states.

Electrosurgery
|
D004598 |
[Division of tissues by a high-frequency current applied locally with a metal instrument or needle. (Stedman, 25th ed)

|
Electrowetting
|
D058874 |
[Reducing the SURFACE TENSION at a liquid/solid interface by the application of an electric current across the interface thereby enhancing the WETTABILITY of the surface.

|
Eledoisin
|
D004600 |
[A peptide extracted from the posterior salivary glands of certain small octopi (Eledone spp., Mollusca), or obtained by synthesis. Its actions resemble those of SUBSTANCE P; it is a potent vasodilator and increases capillary permeability. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1364)

Elementary Particle Interactions
|
D019471 |
[The interactions of particles responsible for their scattering and transformations (decays and reactions). Because of interactions, an isolated particle may decay into other particles. Two particles passing near each other may transform, perhaps into the same particles but with changed momenta (elastic scattering) or into other particles (inelastic scattering). Interactions fall into three groups: strong, electromagnetic, and weak. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, 7th ed)

Elementary Particles
|
D004601 |
[Individual components of atoms, usually subatomic; subnuclear particles are usually detected only when the atomic nucleus decays and then only transiently, as most of them are unstable, often yielding pure energy without substance, i.e., radiation.
] |
|
Elements
|
D004602 |
[Substances that comprise all matter. Each element is made up of atoms that are identical in number of electrons and protons and in nuclear charge, but may differ in mass or number of neutrons.
] |
|
Elements, Radioactive
|
D004603 |
[Unstable elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 that exist in nature solely as radioisotopes.
] |
|
Eleocharis
|
D031256 |
[A plant genus of the family CYPERACEAE.
] |
|
Elephantiasis
|
D004604 |
[Nonfilarial, noninfective, usually crystalline blockage of the limb lymphatics, almost always affecting the lower limbs and especially the feet.
, Hypertrophy and thickening of tissues from causes other than filarial infection, the latter being described as ELEPHANTIASIS, FILARIAL.
] |
|
Elephantiasis, Filarial
|
D004605 |
[Parasitic infestation of the human lymphatic system by WUCHERERIA BANCROFTI or BRUGIA MALAYI. It is also called lymphatic filariasis.
] |
|
Elephants
|
D004606 |
[Large mammals in the family Elephantidae, with columnar limbs, bulky bodies, and elongated snouts. They are the only surviving members of the PROBOSCIDEA MAMMALS.
] |
|
Elettaria
|
D028523 |
[A plant genus of the family ZINGIBERACEAE, order Zingiberales, subclass Zingiberidae. Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton is the source of Cardamom used in SPICES.
] |
|
Eleusine
|
D031748 |
[A plant genus of the family POACEAE. Finger millet or raggee (E. coracana) is an important food grain in southern Asia and parts of Africa.
] |
|
Eleutherococcus
|
D028001 |
[A plant genus in the family ARALIACEAE, order Apiales, subclass Rosidae. It is best known as an adaptogen and a substitute for PANAX GINSENG.
] |
|
Elevated Plus Maze Test
|
D000082564 |
[A maze test in which an animal is placed on the center of elevated platform and is allowed to choose one of four arms configured like a plus sign. Animals are inherently wary of open elevated areas and tend to avoid the open arms.
