|
Nodose Ganglion
|
D009620 |
[The inferior (caudal) ganglion of the vagus (10th cranial) nerve. The unipolar nodose ganglion cells are sensory cells with central projections to the medulla and peripheral processes traveling in various branches of the vagus nerve.

Nodularia
|
D046932 |
[A form-genus of filamentous CYANOBACTERIA in the order Nostocales. Its members can be planktonic or benthic and the trichomes are composed of disc-shaped vegetative cells.

|
Nogalamycin
|
D009621 |
[An anthrocycline from a Streptomyces nogalater variant. It is a cytolytic antineoplastic that inhibits DNA-dependent RNA synthesis by binding to DNA.

|
Nogo Proteins
|
D000070798 |
[Myelin proteins that are expressed as three isoforms: Nogo-A, Nogo-B, and Nogo-C. These share a C-terminal reticulon homology domain (RHD), consisting of two hydrophobic membrane domains flanking a 66 amino acid (Nogo-66) hydrophilic region. A long transmembrane region allows conformations that either span the entire membrane or fold into a hairpin conformation. Nogo inhibits NEURITE outgrowth and modulates wiring and the restriction of SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY in the adult central nervous system. It also regulates neurite fasciculation, branching, and extension in the developing nervous system.

Nogo Receptor 1
|
D000070816 |
[A high affinity receptor for myelin-associated inhibitors (MAIs) that include NOGO-A PROTEIN; OLIGODENDROCYTE MYELIN GLYCOPROTEIN; and MYELIN-ASSOCIATED GLYCOPROTEIN. It is expressed primarily by neurons in the brain and OLFACTORY BULBS. During embryonic development, it is expressed in the PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. It localizes to GROWTH CONES and may inhibit neurite outgrowth following SPINAL INJURY.

|
Nogo Receptor 2
|
D000070817 |
[A Nogo receptor that binds to MYELIN-ASSOCIATED GLYCOPROTEIN. It localizes to the GROWTH CONES of neurons in the THALAMUS; CORTEX: AMYGDALA; OLFACTORY BULBS; and HYPOTHALAMUS.

|
Nogo Receptors
|
D000070156 |
[GPI-linked proteins consisting of eight elongated leucine-rich repeats at their N-temini that are connected to the GPI by a "stalk" region rich in prolines, serines and threonines. They bind to NOGO PROTEIN; however, some Nogo receptors also bind MYELIN ASSOCIATED GLYCOPROTEIN and other cell surface glycoproteins. Interactions between nogo receptors and their ligands modulate nerve growth and NEURONAL PLASTICITY.

Noise
|
D009622 |
[Any sound which is unwanted or interferes with HEARING other sounds.
, An intrusive amount of unwanted noise.

Noise, Occupational
|
D009623 |
[Noise present in occupational, industrial, and factory situations.

Noise, Transportation
|
D009624 |
[Noise associated with transportation, particularly aircraft and automobiles.

Noma
|
D009625 |
[A severe gangrenous process occurring predominantly in debilitated and malnourished children, especially in underdeveloped countries. It typically begins as a small vesicle or ulcer on the gingiva that rapidly becomes necrotic and spreads to produce extensive destruction of the buccal and labial mucosa and tissues of the face, which may result in severe disfigurement and even death. Various bacteria have been implicated in the etiology. (Dorland, 27th ed)

|
Nomifensine
|
D009627 |
[An isoquinoline derivative that prevents dopamine reuptake into synaptosomes. The maleate was formerly used in the treatment of depression. It was withdrawn worldwide in 1986 due to the risk of acute hemolytic anemia with intravascular hemolysis resulting from its use. In some cases, renal failure also developed. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p266)

Nomograms
|
D049451 |
[Graphical representation of a statistical model containing scales for calculating the prognostic weight of a value for each individual variable. Nomograms are instruments that can be used to predict outcomes using specific clinical parameters. They use ALGORITHMS that incorporate several variables to calculate the predicted probability that a patient will achieve a particular clinical endpoint.
, Nomograms used for predicting the stages of PROSTATE CANCER. They are comprised of the serum PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN levels, the GLEASON SCORE, and the TNM STAGING category.

Non-Fibrillar Collagens
|
D024041 |
[A family of structurally-related short-chain collagens that do not form large fibril bundles.
] |
|
Non-Filarial Lymphedema
|
D062846 |
[A form of elephantiasis caused by soil particles which penetrate the skin of the foot. It is limited to tropical regions with soils of high volcanic content.

|
Non-Medical Public and Private Facilities
|
D000072182 |
[Spaces and needed equipment provided for a specific, non-medical function or service used by the public or specific group of persons.

|
Non-Neuronal Cholinergic System
|
D000070634 |
[The system of ACETYLCHOLINE-synthesizing enzymes, transporters, receptors and degrading enzymes that characterize non-neuronal cholinergic cells such as airway and skin EPITHELIAL CELLS.
] |
|
Non-Nutritive Sweeteners
|
D064306 |
[Chemical additives, such as aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose, that give a sweet taste to foods without contributing significant calories or promoting tooth decay. They are generally much sweeter than sucrose.
] |
|
Non-Point Source Pollution
|
D000075602 |
[Water pollution from a variety of diffuse sources carried over or through the ground and into water sources such as LAKES; RIVERS; WETLANDS; coastal waters; and GROUNDWATER. Such diffuse sources include roadways and parking lots (GASOLINE; HEAVY METALS; and motor oil), lawns or agricultural land (excess FERTILIZERS, livestock excrement, and PESTICIDES), landfill seepage, and construction sites (chemicals and trash used in construction processes).
