- Abscess [r]: Accumulation of purulent material in tissues, organs, or circumscribed spaces, usually associated with signs of infection (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Adrenergic beta-antagonist [r]: Drugs that bind to but do not activate beta-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. Adrenergic beta-antagonists are used for treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, angina pectoris, glaucoma, migraine headaches, and anxiety (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Antioxidant [r]: Chemical compound or substance that inhibits oxidation. [e]
- Antipsychotic agent [r]: Class of medicines used to treat psychosis and other mental and emotional conditions. [e]
- Atenolol [r]: A cardioselective adrenergic beta-antagonist medication for hypertension and angina pectoris. [e]
- Brain concussion [r]: A nonspecific term used to describe transient alterations or loss of consciousness following closed head injuries (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- CURB-65 [r]: Clinical prediction rule for predicting mortality in community-acquired pneumonia, and infection of any site. [e]
- Case-control study [r]: Research into the risk factors of people with a disease, compared with those without a disease. [e]
- Colorectal cancer [r]: Malignancy that arises from the lining of either the colon or the rectum. [e]
- Dementia [r]: Progressive decline in two or more cognitive domains that is severe enough to interfere with the performance of everyday activities (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Digital object identifier [r]: Unique label for a computer readable object that can be found on the internet, usually used in academic journals. [e]
- Electronic health record [r]: Longitudinal collection of electronic health information about individual patients or populations [e]
- Epidemiology [r]: The branch of demography that studies patterns of disease in human or animal populations. [e]
- Evidence-based medicine [r]: The conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. [e]
- Fibromyalgia [r]: Inflammation of the fibrous or connective tissue of the body, characterized by acute and debilitating widespread musculoskeletal pain. [e]
- Heart failure [r]: Defective cardiac filling and/or impaired contraction and emptying, resulting in the heart's inability to pump a sufficient amount of blood to meet the needs of the body tissues or to be able to do so only with an elevated filling pressure (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus [r]: An infectious human retrovirus, transmitted by bodily fluids, that causes AIDS. [e]
- Mass screening [r]: Organized periodic procedures performed on large groups of people for the purpose of detecting disease. [e]
- Maximum life span [r]: Measure of the maximum amount of time one or more members of a group has been observed to survive between birth and death. [e]
- Obesity [r]: Excessive stores of body fat. [e]
- Odds ratio [r]: The odds ratio is a technical term often used in medical statistics. The odds ratio is the ratio of the relative incidence of a target disorder in the experimental group relative to the relative incidence in a control group. Essentially, it reflects how the risk of having a particular disorder is influenced by the treatment. An odds ratio of 1 means that there is no benefit of treatment compared to the control group. [e]
- Pneumococcal vaccine [r]: Vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent infections with streptococcus pneumoniae (National Library of Medicine). [e]
- Pseudomembranous enterocolitis [r]: Enterocolitis with the formation and passage of pseudomembranous material in the stools, caused by a necrolytic exotoxin made by Clostridium difficile. [e]
- Transient ischemic attack [r]: Temporary blockage of the blood supply to the brain caused by a blood clot and usually lasting ten minutes or less, during which dizziness, blurring of vision, numbness on one side of the body, and neurologic dysfunction is experienced. [e]
- Transient neurological attack [r]: Multiple, acute disturbances involving changes to visual perception, lack of muscle strength, and amnesia. [e]
- Vasopressin [r]: A hormone also called (arginine vasopressin, (AVP); formerly known as antidiuretic hormone, ADH), produced in the hypothalamus secreted from the posterior pituitary that causes kidneys to concentrate urine to conserve water, also causes vasoconstriction. [e]
- Women's Health Initiative [r]: US National Institutes of Health project, to conduct medical research and clinical trials into some of the major health problems of older women. [e]
