  2. Enucleation (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enucleation_(medicine)

    In the context of oral pathology, enucleation involves surgical removal of all tissue (both hard and soft) involved in a lesion. [ 1 ] Removal of uterine fibroids (leiomyomata)

  3. Enucleation (microbiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enucleation_(microbiology)

    In the context of microbiology, enucleation refers to removing the nucleus of a cell and replacing it with a different nucleus. This is used mainly in cloning but can also be used for creating hybrids of plants or animals. It was discovered that cells can be chemically enucleated with Cytochalasin B in 1967. [1]

    Enucleation is the removal of the eye that leaves the eye muscles and remaining orbital contents intact. This type of ocular surgery is indicated for a number of ocular tumors , in eyes that have sustained severe trauma, and in eyes that are otherwise blind and painful.

  6. Biopsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopsy

    Pathologic examination of a biopsy can determine whether a lesion is benign or malignant, and can help differentiate between different types of cancer. In contrast to a biopsy that merely samples a lesion, a larger excisional specimen called a resection may come to a pathologist, typically from a surgeon attempting to eradicate a known lesion ...

    After, the tumor is scraped away from the testis in a process called enucleation. Following enucleation, biopsies are taken of the tissues surrounding the testicle where the mass once was. Afterwards, each layer or tunica of the testis is sutured up and the testis is placed back in the scrotum. The skin layers are also closed up with sutures. [7]

  8. Phantom eye syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_eye_syndrome

    Enucleation of an eye and, similarly, retinal damage, leads to a cascade of events in the cortical areas receiving visual input. Cortical GABAergic (GABA: Gamma-aminobutyric acid ) inhibition decreases, and cortical glutamatergic excitation increases, followed by increased visual excitability or even spontaneous activity in the visual cortex ...

    In forming or understanding a word root, one needs a basic comprehension of the terms and the source language.The study of the origin of words is called etymology.For example, if a word was to be formed to indicate a condition of kidneys, there are two primary roots – one from Greek (νεφρός nephr(os)) and one from Latin (ren(es)).
