    Nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma ("NSHL") or Nodular sclerosis is a form of Hodgkin's lymphoma [1] that is the most common subtype of HL in developed countries. It affects females slightly more than males and has a median age of onset at ~28 years.

  3. The topography axis addresses the tumor's site in the body. It is standardized with the C section of ICD-10. There were no changes in the topography axis between ICD-O-2 and ICD-O-3. See List of ICD-10 codes#(C00–C97) Malignant Neoplasms for examples.

  4. Avascular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avascular_necrosis

    The hematopoietic cells are most sensitive to low oxygen and are the first to die after reduction or removal of the blood supply, usually within 12 hours. [2] Experimental evidence suggests that bone cells ( osteocytes , osteoclasts , osteoblasts etc.) die within 12–48 hours, and that bone marrow fat cells die within 5 days.

  5. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_stromal_tumor

    They are defined as tumors whose behavior is driven by mutations in the KIT gene (85%), [2] PDGFRA gene (10%), [2] or BRAF kinase (rare). [ 2 ] 95% of GISTs stain positively for KIT (CD117). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Most (66%) occur in the stomach and gastric GISTs have a lower malignant potential than tumors found elsewhere in the GI tract.

  6. Action potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_potential

    In some types of neurons, the entire up-and-down cycle takes place in a few thousandths of a second. In muscle cells, a typical action potential lasts about a fifth of a second. In plant cells, an action potential may last three seconds or more. [4] The electrical properties of a cell are determined by the structure of its membrane.

  7. Leukostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukostasis

    A leukemia blood cell count greater than 50 x 10^9/ L (50,000 / microL) or 100 x 10^9 L / (100,000/ microL) signifies hyperleukocytosis. Symptoms of leukostasis start when blood levels of leukocytes reach over 100 x 10^9 / L (100,000 / microL). As stated before, these counts are critical and associated with Leukemias. [1]

  8. Machado–Joseph disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machado–Joseph_disease

    Machado–Joseph disease (MJD), also known as Machado–Joseph Azorean disease, Machado's disease, Joseph's disease or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive cerebellar ataxia, [1] [2] which results in a lack of muscle control and coordination of the upper and lower extremities. [3]

  9. Wallerian degeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallerian_degeneration

    Wallerian degeneration is an active process of degeneration that results when a nerve fiber is cut or crushed and the part of the axon distal to the injury (which in most cases is farther from the neuron's cell body) degenerates. [1]
