Mahonia
|
D028143 |
[A plant genus in the family BERBERIDACEAE. Oregon Grape was discovered in North America and classified by Pursh as a BERBERIS but Nuttall claimed it is different enough to call it a new genus, MAHONIA. Now botanists insist on Berberis while horticulturists stay with this genus. It is a source of BERBERINE.

Maianthemum

[A plant genus of the family Asparagaceae. The cluster of flowers at the end of the stalk distinguishes this plant from "true" Solomon's seal (POLYGONATUM), which has flowers that grow along the stem.

Maillard Reaction
|
D015416 |
[A group of nonenzymatic reactions in which aldehydes, ketones, or reducing sugars react with the amino groups of amino acids, peptides, proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids, ultimately resulting in the irreversible formation of ADVANCED GLYCATION END PRODUCTS. Food browning reactions, such as those that occur with cooking with high heat are attributed to this reaction type. This reaction also occurs in vivo and is accelerated under hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and inflammatory conditions.

Malaria
|
D008288 |
[A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the PLASMODIUM genus: PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM VIVAX; PLASMODIUM OVALE; and PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus ANOPHELES. Malaria is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Oceania, and certain Caribbean islands. It is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high FEVER; SWEATING; shaking CHILLS; and ANEMIA. Malaria in ANIMALS is caused by other species of plasmodia.

Malaria Vaccines
|
D017780 |

Malaria, Avian
|
D008289 |
[Any of a group of infections of fowl caused by protozoa of the genera PLASMODIUM, Leucocytozoon, and Haemoproteus. The life cycles of these parasites and the disease produced bears strong resemblance to those observed in human malaria.

|
Malaria, Cerebral
|
D016779 |
[A condition characterized by somnolence or coma in the presence of an acute infection with PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM (and rarely other Plasmodium species). Initial clinical manifestations include HEADACHES; SEIZURES; and alterations of mentation followed by a rapid progression to COMA. Pathologic features include cerebral capillaries filled with parasitized erythrocytes and multiple small foci of cortical and subcortical necrosis. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p136)

|
Malaria, Falciparum
|
D016778 |
[Malaria caused by PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM. This is the severest form of malaria and is associated with the highest levels of parasites in the blood. This disease is characterized by irregularly recurring febrile paroxysms that in extreme cases occur with acute cerebral, renal, or gastrointestinal manifestations.
] |
|
Malaria, Vivax
|
D016780 |
[Malaria caused by PLASMODIUM VIVAX. This form of malaria is less severe than MALARIA, FALCIPARUM, but there is a higher probability for relapses to occur. Febrile paroxysms often occur every other day.
