  2. Rh blood group system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rh_blood_group_system

    Rh(D) status of an individual is normally described with a positive (+) or negative (−) suffix after the ABO type (e.g., someone who is A+ has the A antigen and Rh(D) antigen, whereas someone who is A− has the A antigen but lacks the Rh(D) antigen). The terms Rh factor, Rh positive, and Rh negative refer to the Rh(D

  3. Inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammation

    Factor XII (Hageman Factor) Liver: A protein that circulates inactively, until activated by collagen, platelets, or exposed basement membranes via conformational change. When activated, it in turn is able to activate three plasma systems involved in inflammation: the kinin system, fibrinolysis system, and coagulation system. Membrane attack complex

  4. Autoimmune disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_disease

    For instance, in rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease primarily affecting the joints, symptoms typically include joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. On the other hand, type 1 diabetes, which results from an autoimmune attack on the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, primarily presents with symptoms related to high blood sugar ...

  5. Pearson correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_correlation...

    Pearson's correlation coefficient is the covariance of the two variables divided by the product of their standard deviations. The form of the definition involves a "product moment", that is, the mean (the first moment about the origin) of the product of the mean-adjusted random variables; hence the modifier product-moment in the name.

  6. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myalgic_encephalomyelitis/...

    Diagnosis requires fatigue, PEM, non-restorative sleep, and either cognitive issues (such as memory impairment) or orthostatic intolerance. Additionally, fatigue must persist for at least six months, substantially impair activities in all areas of life, and have a clearly defined onset.

  8. APRIL (protein) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APRIL_(protein)

    The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tumor necrosis factor ligand (TNF) ligand family. This protein is a ligand for TNFRSF17/BCMA, a member of the TNF receptor family. This protein and its receptor are both found to be important for B cell development. In vivo experiments suggest an important role for APRIL in the long-term ...

  9. Cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer

    Radiation exposure such as ultraviolet radiation and radioactive material is a risk factor for cancer. [69] [70] [71] Many non-melanoma skin cancers are due to ultraviolet radiation, mostly from sunlight. [70] Sources of ionizing radiation include medical imaging and radon gas. [70] Ionizing radiation is not a particularly strong mutagen. [72]
