  2. Enthalpy of fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_fusion

    Enthalpies of melting and boiling for pure elements versus temperatures of transition, demonstrating Trouton's rule. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as (latent) heat of fusion, is the change in its enthalpy resulting from providing energy, typically heat, to a specific quantity of the substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid, at constant pressure.

  3. Philadelphia chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_chromosome

    This gene encodes for a BCR-ABL1 fusion protein. Depending on the precise location of fusion, the molecular weight of this protein can range from 185 to 210 kDa. Consequently, the hybrid BCR-ABL1 fusion protein is referred to as p210 or p185. Three clinically important variants encoded by the fusion gene are the p190, p210, and p230 isoforms.

  4. Prism fusion range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_fusion_range

    The prism fusion range (PFR) or fusional vergence amplitude is a clinical eye test performed by orthoptists, optometrists, and ophthalmologists to assess motor fusion, specifically the extent to which a patient can maintain binocular single vision in the presence of increasing vergence demands.

  5. Halo-gravity traction device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo-gravity_traction_device

    Patients are capable of remaining somewhat active using a wheelchair or a walker whilst undergoing treatment. Most of the research suggests that HGT is a safe treatment, and it can even improve patients' nutrition or respiratory functioning. However, some patients may experience side effects such as headaches or

  6. Failed back syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_back_syndrome

    Failed back syndrome or post-laminectomy syndrome is a condition characterized by chronic pain following back surgeries. [1] [2] Many factors can contribute to the onset or development of FBS, including residual or recurrent spinal disc herniation, persistent post-operative pressure on a spinal nerve, altered joint mobility, joint hypermobility with instability, scar tissue (), depression ...

  7. Scheuermann's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheuermann's_disease

    A pre-operative image of a 22-year-old male with a very extreme case of Scheuermann's disease. Scheuermann's disease is a self-limiting skeletal disorder of childhood. . Scheuermann's disease describes a condition where the vertebrae grow unevenly with respect to the sagittal plane; that is, the posterior angle is often greater than the

  8. Horseshoe kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_kidney

    In patients with this condition, the horseshoe kidney ascent is commonly arrested by the inferior mesenteric artery due to the central fusion of the kidneys. [10] However, this is present in only 40% of cases, and, in 20% of cases, the fused kidney remains in the pelvis. [ 1 ]

  9. Worth 4 dot test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worth_4_dot_test

    The patient must have fusion and stereopsis to get accurate results; It is a highly dissociative test resulting in responses being less relevant to what the patient sees in their normal daily environment, as the environment would normally be different [3] A. Lights need to be off or dimmed in order to see the dots / lights; B.
