Loiasis
|
D008118 |
[A parasitic infection caused by the nematode Loa loa. The vector in the transmission of this infection is the horsefly (Tabanus) or the deerfly or mango fly (Chrysops). The larvae may be seen just beneath the skin or passing through the conjunctiva. Eye lesions are not uncommon. The disease is generally mild and painless.

Loligo
|
D049834 |
[A genus of SQUID in the family Loliginidae, superorder DECAPODIFORMES, with a spindle-shaped body. They are well-studied, common inshore squids of the Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans, but their various species are taxonomically unresolved.

Lolium
|
D008129 |
[Common member of the Gramineae family used as cattle FODDER. It harbors several fungi and other parasites toxic to livestock and people and produces allergenic compounds, especially in its pollen. The most commonly seen varieties are L. perenne, L. multiflorum, and L. rigidum.

Loneliness
|
D008132 |
[The state of feeling sad or dejected as a result of lack of companionship or being separated from others.

Long Interspersed Nucleotide Elements
|
D020084 |
[Highly repeated sequences, 6K-8K base pairs in length, which contain RNA polymerase II promoters. They also have an open reading frame that is related to the reverse transcriptase of retroviruses but they do not contain LTRs (long terminal repeats). Copies of the LINE 1 (L1) family form about 15% of the human genome. The jockey elements of Drosophila are LINEs.

Long QT Syndrome
|
D008133 |
[A condition that is characterized by episodes of fainting (SYNCOPE) and varying degree of ventricular arrhythmia as indicated by the prolonged QT interval. The inherited forms are caused by mutation of genes encoding cardiac ion channel proteins. The two major forms are ROMANO-WARD SYNDROME and JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SYNDROME.

Long Term Adverse Effects
|
D000069451 |
[Persistent detrimental effects from treatment for a condition. Included are effects from surgery such as POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS, and from DRUG THERAPY, such as CHEMICALLY INDUCED DISORDERS, or other THERAPEUTICS. Failure to attain a desired outcome from treatment for the condition is not considered an adverse effect.

Long-Acting Reversible Contraception
|
D000075523 |
[Prevention of CONCEPTION by devices, chemical substances or agents with contraceptive activity in females which last for years and can be removed.

|
Long-Acting Thyroid Stimulator
|
D008135 |
[An immunoglobulin G, often found in the blood of hyperthyroid individuals. It stimulates the thyroid for a longer duration than does thyrotoxin and may cause hyperthyroidism in newborns due to placental transmission.

Long-Chain-3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydrogenase
|
D063989 |
[An NAD-dependent 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase that has specificity for acyl chains containing 8 and 10 carbons.

|
Long-Term Care
|
D008134 |
[Care over an extended period, usually for a chronic condition or disability, requiring periodic, intermittent, or continuous care.
] |
|
Long-Term Potentiation
|
D017774 |
[A persistent increase in synaptic efficacy, usually induced by appropriate activation of the same synapses. The phenomenological properties of long-term potentiation suggest that it may be a cellular mechanism of learning and memory.
] |
|
Long-Term Synaptic Depression
|
D036881 |
[Long-term depression resulting from repeated low-frequency stimulation in only the pathway receiving the induction protocol. It follows induction of LONG-TERM POTENTIATION and reverses it.
, A persistent activity-dependent decrease in synaptic efficacy between NEURONS. It typically occurs following repeated low-frequency afferent stimulation, but it can be induced by other methods. Long-term depression appears to play a role in MEMORY.

Longevity
|
D008136 |
[The normal length of time of an organism's life.
, The entire maximum length of time of an organism's existence.

|
Longitudinal Ligaments
|
D017846 |
[Two extensive fibrous bands running the length of the vertebral column. The anterior longitudinal ligament (ligamentum longitudinale anterius; lacertus medius) interconnects the anterior surfaces of the vertebral bodies; the posterior longitudinal ligament (ligamentum longitudinale posterius) interconnects the posterior surfaces. The commonest clinical consideration is OSSIFICATION OF POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT. (From Stedman, 25th ed)

Longitudinal Studies
|
D008137 |
[Studies in which variables relating to an individual or group of individuals are assessed over a period of time.
, Single-site, prospective, epidemiological investigation of cardiovascular disease in African Americans in Mississippi and investigates the role of inheritance in diabetes and other chronic diseases.
, A large-scale study established in 1995 with a population of more than 130,000 female teachers.
, Long-term non-therapeutic study of untreated syphilis in African American men.
, On-going studies of a biracial, semi-rural community in the South with focus on the impact of vascular and metabolic changes on health throughout the lifespan.
, Study into the epidemiology and risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
