Endocarditis
|
D004696 |
[Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (ENDOCARDIUM), the continuous membrane lining the four chambers and HEART VALVES. It is often caused by microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and rickettsiae. Left untreated, endocarditis can damage heart valves and become life-threatening.

|
Endocarditis, Bacterial
|
D004697 |
[Inflammation of the ENDOCARDIUM caused by BACTERIA that entered the bloodstream. The strains of bacteria vary with predisposing factors, such as CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS; HEART VALVE DISEASES; HEART VALVE PROSTHESIS IMPLANTATION; or intravenous drug use.

|
Endocarditis, Non-Infective
|
D059905 |
[Formation of a non-infectious THROMBUS, referred to as vegetation, on previously undamaged ENDOCARDIUM. It usually occurs as a complication of connective-tissue diseases and cancers because of the associated hypercoagulable state (see THROMBOPHILIA).
] |
|
Endocarditis, Subacute Bacterial
|
D004698 |
[ENDOCARDIUM infection that is usually caused by STREPTOCOCCUS. Subacute infective endocarditis evolves over weeks and months with modest toxicity and rare metastatic infection.

|
Endocardium
|
D004699 |
[The innermost layer of the heart, comprised of endothelial cells.
] |
|
Endocrine Cells
|
D055098 |
[Secretory cells of the ductless glands. They secrete HORMONES directly into the blood circulation (internal secretion) to be carried to the target cells. The secreted chemicals can be PEPTIDES; STEROIDS; NEUROPEPTIDES; or BIOGENIC AMINES.
] |
|
Endocrine Disruptors
|
D052244 |
[Exogenous agents, synthetic and naturally occurring, which are capable of disrupting the functions of the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM including the maintenance of HOMEOSTASIS and the regulation of developmental processes. Endocrine disruptors are compounds that can mimic HORMONES, or enhance or block the binding of hormones to their receptors, or otherwise lead to activating or inhibiting the endocrine signaling pathways and hormone metabolism.

|
Endocrine Gland Neoplasms
|
D004701 |
[Tumors or cancer of the ENDOCRINE GLANDS.
] |
|
Endocrine Glands
|
D004702 |
[Ductless glands that secrete HORMONES directly into the BLOOD CIRCULATION. These hormones influence the METABOLISM and other functions of cells in the body.
] |
|
Endocrine Surgical Procedures
|
D013507 |
[Surgery performed on any endocrine gland.
] |
|
Endocrine System
|
D004703 |
[The system of glands that release their secretions (hormones) directly into the circulatory system. In addition to the ENDOCRINE GLANDS, included are the CHROMAFFIN SYSTEM and the NEUROSECRETORY SYSTEMS.
] |
|
Endocrine System Diseases
|
D004700 |
[Pathological processes of the ENDOCRINE GLANDS, and diseases resulting from abnormal level of available HORMONES.
] |
|
Endocrinologists
|
D000072097 |
[Physicians who specialize in treating ENDOCRINE SYSTEM DISEASES.

|
Endocrinology
|
D004704 |
[A subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with the metabolism, physiology, and disorders of the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM.
] |
|
Endocytosis
|
D004705 |
[Cellular uptake of extracellular materials within membrane-limited vacuoles or microvesicles. ENDOSOMES play a central role in endocytosis.
] |
|
Endodeoxyribonucleases
|
D004706 |
[A group of enzymes catalyzing the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA. They include members of EC 3.1.21.-, EC 3.1.22.-, EC 3.1.23.- (DNA RESTRICTION ENZYMES), EC 3.1.24.- (DNA RESTRICTION ENZYMES), and EC 3.1.25.-.

|
Endoderm
|
D004707 |
[The inner of the three germ layers of an embryo.
] |
|
Endodermal Sinus Tumor
|
D018240 |
[An unusual and aggressive tumor of germ-cell origin that reproduces the extraembryonic structures of the early embryo. It is the most common malignant germ cell tumor found in children. It is characterized by a labyrinthine glandular pattern of flat epithelial cells and rounded papillary processes with a central capillary (Schiller-Duval body). The tumor is rarely bilateral. Before the use of combination chemotherapy, the tumor was almost invariably fatal. (From DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1189)

Endodontics
|
D004708 |
[A dental specialty concerned with the maintenance of the dental pulp in a state of health and the treatment of the pulp cavity (pulp chamber and pulp canal).
] |
|
Endodontists
|
D000072218 |
[Dentists specializing in the treatment of injuries and diseases of the DENTAL PULP.
