D029502 |
[An inborn condition characterized by deficiencies of red cell precursors that sometimes also includes LEUKOPENIA and THROMBOCYTOPENIA.

|
Anemia, Iron-Deficiency
|
D018798 |
[Anemia characterized by decreased or absent iron stores, low serum iron concentration, low transferrin saturation, and low hemoglobin concentration or hematocrit value. The erythrocytes are hypochromic and microcytic and the iron binding capacity is increased.

|
Anemia, Myelophthisic
|
D000750 |
[Anemia characterized by appearance of immature myeloid and nucleated erythrocytes in the peripheral blood, resulting from infiltration of the bone marrow by foreign or abnormal tissue.

|
Anemia, Pernicious
|
D000752 |
[A megaloblastic anemia occurring in children but more commonly in later life, characterized by histamine-fast achlorhydria, in which the laboratory and clinical manifestations are based on malabsorption of vitamin B 12 due to a failure of the gastric mucosa to secrete adequate and potent intrinsic factor.

] |
|
Anemia, Sickle Cell
|
D000755 |
[A disease characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, episodic painful crises, and pathologic involvement of many organs. It is the clinical expression of homozygosity for hemoglobin S.
] |
|
Anemia, Sideroblastic
|
D000756 |
[Anemia characterized by the presence of erythroblasts containing excessive deposits of iron in the marrow.
] |
|
Anemone
|
D031883 |
[A plant genus of the family RANUNCULACEAE that contains triterpene saponins. The root of Anemone raddeana is the source of a Chinese folk medicine, zhu jie xian fu. The common name of liverwort is also used with other plants. This genus is unrelated to SEA ANEMONES.

|
Anencephaly
|
D000757 |
[A malformation of the nervous system caused by failure of the anterior neuropore to close. Infants are born with intact spinal cords, cerebellums, and brainstems, but lack formation of neural structures above this level. The skull is only partially formed but the eyes are usually normal. This condition may be associated with folate deficiency. Affected infants are only capable of primitive (brain stem) reflexes and usually do not survive for more than two weeks. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p247)

|
Anesthesia
|
D000758 |
[A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.
] |
|
Anesthesia Department, Hospital
|
D000761 |
[Hospital department responsible for the administration of functions and activities pertaining to the delivery of anesthetics.
] |
|
Anesthesia Recovery Period
|
D000762 |
[The period of emergence from general anesthesia, where different elements of consciousness return at different rates.
] |
|
Anesthesia and Analgesia
|
D000760 |
[Medical methods of either relieving pain caused by a particular condition or removing the sensation of pain during a surgery or other medical procedure.
] |
|
Anesthesia, Cardiac Procedures
|
D000074022 |
[A range of methods used to induce UNCONSCIOUSNESS; ANALGESIA; and MUSCLE RELAXATION during cardiac procedures.
] |
|
Anesthesia, Caudal
|
D000763 |
[Epidural anesthesia administered via the sacral canal.
] |
|
Anesthesia, Closed-Circuit
|
D000764 |
[Inhalation anesthesia where the gases exhaled by the patient are rebreathed as some carbon dioxide is simultaneously removed and anesthetic gas and oxygen are added so that no anesthetic escapes into the room. Closed-circuit anesthesia is used especially with explosive anesthetics to prevent fires where electrical sparking from instruments is possible.
