Mink Viral Enteritis
|
D053489 |
[A highly contagious parvovirus infection in mink, caused by MINK ENTERITIS VIRUS or the closely related FELINE PANLEUKOPENIA VIRUS or CANINE PARVOVIRUS. Transmission usually occurs by the fecal/oral route.

Mink enteritis virus
|
D053490 |
[A species of the genus PARVOVIRUS and a host range variant of FELINE PANLEUKOPENIA VIRUS. It causes a highly contagious inflammatory gastroenteritis (MINK VIRAL ENTERITIS). In addition to mink, this virus can also infect cats and dogs.

Minke Whale
|
D050636 |
[The form of the MINKE WHALE, which some consider a subspecies, found in the southern hemisphere especially in the ANTARCTIC REGIONS. It is distinguishable by the lack of a white band on each flipper.
, The species Balaenoptera acutorostrata, in the family Balaenopteridae. It is the smallest of the WHALES in the family and though mainly oceanic, is often found in coastal waters including bays and estuaries.

Minnesota

D008910 |
[State bordered on the north by Canada, on the east by Lake Superior and Wisconsin, on the south by Iowa, and on the west by North Dakota and South Dakota.

Minocycline
|
D008911 |
[A TETRACYCLINE analog, having a 7-dimethylamino and lacking the 5 methyl and hydroxyl groups, which is effective against tetracycline-resistant STAPHYLOCOCCUS infections.

Minor Histocompatibility Antigens
|
D015778 |
[Allelic alloantigens often responsible for weak graft rejection in cases when (major) histocompatibility has been established by standard tests. In the mouse they are coded by more than 500 genes at up to 30 minor histocompatibility loci. The most well-known minor histocompatibility antigen in mammals is the H-Y antigen.

|
Minor Histocompatibility Loci
|
D008912 |
[Genetic loci responsible for the encoding of histocompatibility antigens other than those encoded by the MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX. The antigens encoded by these genes are often responsible for graft rejection in cases where histocompatibility has been established by standard tests. The location of some of these loci on the X and Y chromosomes explains why grafts from males to females may be rejected while grafts from females to males are accepted. In the mouse roughly 30 minor histocompatibility loci have been recognized, comprising more than 500 genes.

Minor Lymphocyte Stimulatory Antigens
|
D016747 |
[Endogenous superantigens responsible for inducing strong proliferative responses in T-cells in mixed lymphocyte reactions (see LYMPHOCYTE CULTURE TEST, MIXED). They are encoded by mouse mammary tumor viruses that have integrated into the germ line as DNA proviruses (MINOR LYMPHOCYTE STIMULATORY LOCI).

|
Minor Lymphocyte Stimulatory Loci
|
D016744 |
[Genetic loci responsible for the encoding of minor lymphocyte stimulatory antigens. There are at least two unlinked loci (in the mouse) and they appear to be separate from the MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX and MINOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY LOCI. The mouse mammary tumor virus (see MAMMARY TUMOR VIRUS, MOUSE) has the ability to integrate into these loci. The antigens induce strong T-cell proliferative responses in mixed lymphocyte reactions.

Minor Planets

D018543 |
[Small solar system planetary bodies including asteroids. Most asteroids are found within the gap lying between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Minor Surgical Procedures
|
D013511 |
[Surgery for problems and injuries that are of relatively slight extent, and with a low risk for life threatening complications.

|
Minority Groups
|
D008913 |
[A subgroup having special characteristics within a larger group, often bound together by special ties which distinguish it from the larger group.

|
Minority Health
|
D054525 |
[The National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities of NIH was established by the passage of the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research and Education Act of 2000, Public Law 106-525. This Center supports basic, clinical, social, and behavioral research; promotes research infrastructure and training, fosters outreach to minority and other health disparity communities.
, The concept covering the physical and mental conditions of members of minority groups.

|
Minoxidil
|
D008914 |
[A potent direct-acting peripheral vasodilator (VASODILATOR AGENTS) that reduces peripheral resistance and produces a fall in BLOOD PRESSURE. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p371)

Minute Virus of Mice
|
D008915 |
[The type species of PARVOVIRUS prevalent in mouse colonies and found as a contaminant of many transplanted tumors or leukemias.

|
Miocamycin
|
D015644 |
[A macrolide antibiotic that has a wide antimicrobial spectrum and is particularly effective in respiratory and genital infections.
] |
|
Miosis
|
D015877 |
[Pupillary constriction. This may result from congenital absence of the dilatator pupillary muscle, defective sympathetic innervation, or irritation of the CONJUNCTIVA or CORNEA.
] |
|
Miotics
|
D008916 |
[Agents causing contraction of the pupil of the eye. Some sources use the term miotics only for the parasympathomimetics but any drug used to induce miosis is included here.
