Neck Pain
|
D019547 |
[Discomfort or more intense forms of pain that are localized to the cervical region. This term generally refers to pain in the posterior or lateral regions of the neck.

Necrobiosis Lipoidica
|
D009335 |
[A degenerative disease of the dermal connective tissue characterized by the development of erythematous papules or nodules in the pretibial area. The papules form plaques covered with telangiectatic vessels. More than half of the affected patients have diabetes.

Necrobiotic Disorders
|
D017441 |
[A group of disorders characterized by swelling, basophilia, and distortion of collagen bundles in the dermis.

|
Necrobiotic Xanthogranuloma
|
D058252 |
[A cutaneous necrobiotic disorder characterized by firm, yellow plaques or nodules, often in a periorbital distribution. It is often accompanied by an elevated ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE; LEUKOPENIA; and MONOCLONAL GAMMOPATHY (IgG-kappa type) and systemic involvement.

|
Necrolytic Migratory Erythema
|
D058568 |
[Recurrent cutaneous manifestation of GLUCAGONOMA characterized by necrolytic polycyclic migratory lesions with scaling borders. It is associated with elevated secretion of GLUCAGON by the tumor. Other conditions with elevated serum glucagon levels such as HEPATIC CIRRHOSIS may also result in similar skin lesions, which are referred to as pseudoglucagonoma syndrome.

|
Necroptosis
|
D000079302 |
[A form of regulated cell death initiated by perturbations of extracellular or intracellular homeostasis that trigger a specific cell death pathway involving the activation of RIPK3 and MLKL (mixed lineage kinase domain like pseudokinase). Morphological changes include cytoplasmic and organellar swelling, rupture of the PLASMA MEMBRANE, and CHROMATIN CONDENSATION.

|
Necrosis
|
D009336 |
[The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.

|
Nectins
|
D000075983 |
[A family of calcium-independent cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily. They are expressed by most cell types and mediate both homotypic and heterotypic cell-cell adhesion. Nectins function in a variety of morphogenetic and developmental processes that include organogenesis of the eye, ear, tooth, and cerebral cortex; they also play roles in viral infection and cell proliferation.

Nectria
|
D055330 |
[A genus of ascomycetous fungi in the family Nectriaceae, order HYPOCREALES. They are found as saprophytes on decaying wood or parasites of trees. Anamorphs include FUSARIUM and Cylindrocarpon.

Necturus
|
D009337 |
[A genus of the Proteidae family with five recognized species, which inhabit the Atlantic and Gulf drainages.

|
Necturus maculosus
|
D009338 |
[A neotenic aquatic species of mudpuppy (Necturus) occurring from Manitoba to Louisiana and Texas.

|
Nedd4 Ubiquitin Protein Ligases
|
D000075702 |
[E3 ubiquitin ligases that consist of four WW DOMAINS. They accept UBIQUITIN from E2 UBIQUITIN-CONJUGATING ENZYME as a thioester via their C-terminal HECT domains and transfer it specifically to the 63rd LYSINE residue (Lys-63) of target proteins. NEDD4 targets include many proteins and receptors with important functions for cell growth and homeostasis such as VEGFR-2; FGFR1 TYROSINE KINASE; and ERBB-4 RECEPTOR. They play a critical role in the internalization of these receptors, their degradation by LYSOSOMES, and also function as part of the ESCRT complex in VIRUS RELEASE.

Nedocromil
|
D017835 |
[A pyranoquinolone derivative that inhibits activation of inflammatory cells which are associated with ASTHMA, including EOSINOPHILS; NEUTROPHILS; MACROPHAGES; MAST CELLS; MONOCYTES; AND PLATELETS.

|
Needle Sharing
|
D016485 |
[Usage of a single needle among two or more people for injecting drugs. Needle sharing is a high-risk behavior for contracting infectious disease.
] |
|
Needle-Exchange Programs
|
D018671 |
[Organized services for exchange of sterile needles and syringes used for injections as a potential means of reducing the transmission of infectious diseases.

|
Needles
|
D009339 |
[Sharp instruments used for puncturing or suturing.
] |
|
Needlestick Injuries
|
D016602 |
[Penetrating stab wounds caused by needles. They are of special concern to health care workers since such injuries put them at risk for developing infectious disease.
] |
|
Needs Assessment
|
D020380 |
[Systematic identification of a population's needs or the assessment of individuals to determine the proper level of services needed.

|
Nefopam
|
D009340 |
[Non-narcotic analgesic chemically similar to ORPHENADRINE. Its mechanism of action is unclear. It is used for the relief of acute and chronic pain. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p26)
