==Done:== {{collapse top}} I don't feel able to edit myself but have looked up these, ready to add. All are direct quotes unless stated otherwise and may need shortening. If there are some web tools that can scan for unusual / rare or mispelled words they may also find some that we have used and need to add to the glossary. Anything that works by word frequency is best - words mentioned less than 10 times are often typos or rare medical terms. Note that cerebral blood flow may need to be listed before cerebral to prevent the definition of cerebral being used for both ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 12:09, February 7, 2020 (EST) ;rCBF :regional cerebral blood flow (no reference) cytokine storm - [[Talk:Cytokine_storm#references|references]] etiology, etiological indoleamine indoleproprionate morphology nanotechnology OXPHOS, oxidative phosphorylation [https://www.britannica.com/science/oxidative-phosphorylation def 1] [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/oxidative%20phosphorylation def 2] objective measures, objective outcomes prion protozoa / protozoan / protozoon / protozoans somatization subjective outcomes, subjective measures <s>cerebral</s> :1. of or relating to the brain or the intellect 2. of, relating to, affecting, or being the cerebrum https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cerebral#medicalDictionary ;cerebral blood flow ;CBF :is the amount of blood that goes through the arterial tree in the brain in a given amount of time. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-56782-2_2165-2 ;migraineur ;migraineurs :Someone who experiences migraines https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/migraineur#medicalDictionary ;hyperintense ;hyperintensity ;hyperintensities :appearing as a bright or white spot or region in images of the brain (such as those produced by MRI) hyperintense lesions https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hyperintense#medicalDictionary ;mastocytosis :a rare disease in which chronic symptoms are related to mast cell accumulation and activation.
