Terms for subject Medical (3027 entries)

interstitial nephritis	A kidney disorder in which the spaces between the kidney tubules (tiny urine-collecting tubes) become swollen. Interstitial nephritis can impair kidney function, including a kidney's ability to filter waste and extra fluid from the body.
intervention	A measure taken to prevent or treat disease or to improve health in other ways. Examples of interventions include preventive vaccines, drugs, and palliative care.
interventional trial	A type of clinical trial. In interventional trials, researchers assign participants to a treatment or other intervention and then measure outcomes.
intestinal blockage	bowel obstruction	Parano­IDioteq­ue
Intestinal dysbiosis	esophageal dysbiosis	terrar­ristka
intra-abdominal fat	Fat tissue located deep in the abdomen and around internal organs. Use of certain antiretroviral (ARV) drugs can cause excessive accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) which increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.
intracellular water	ICW	vlad-a­nd-slav
intracranial aneurysm	ICA	iwona
intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)	A type of in vitro (outside the body) fertilization that is used principally to overcome male infertility. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) involves injecting a single sperm into an egg that has been removed from a woman's ovary. The fertilized egg can then be returned to the woman's uterus. Sperm washing combined with ICSI can be considered as a reproductive option for an HIV discordant couple. ICSI is considered when the man is the HIV-infected partner and insemination with donor sperm from an HIV-uninfected male is not an option.
intradermal	Within or between the layers of the skin. Some drugs are given as intradermal injections.
intramedullary nail	IM nail	vlad-a­nd-slav
intramuscular (IM)	Situated or occurring inside a muscle. An intramuscular (IM) injection is an injection given directly into a muscle.
intrapartum	The time period spanning childbirth, from the onset of labor through delivery of the placenta. Intrapartum can refer to both the woman and the fetus.
Intrathecal baclofen (pump)	ITB	iwona
intrathyroidal	within a thyroid gland
intrauterine insemination (IUI)	A medical procedure used to help a woman become pregnant. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) involves placing sperm directly in a woman's uterus the day after ovulation. For a discordant couple in which the HIV-infected partner is female, IUI is the most effective way to reduce the risk of HIV transmission when trying to conceive.
intravaginal	Within or introduced into the vagina.
intravenous (IV)	Situated or occurring inside a vein. An intravenous (IV) injection is an injection given directly into a vein.
intravenous	ivs	spanis­hru
intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)	A solution of antibodies prepared for injection into a person's vein. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is composed of antibodies removed from the blood of healthy donors and then pooled together and purified. IVIG is approved for use in children infected with HIV to reduce the risk of serious bacterial infections.
