Functional imagingFunctional imaging (or physiological imaging) is a medical imaging technique of detecting or measuring changes in metabolism, blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption. As opposed to structural imaging, functional imaging centers on revealing physiological activities within a certain tissue or organ by employing medical image modalities that very often use tracers or probes to reflect spatial distribution of them within the body. These tracers are often analogous to some chemical compounds, like glucose, within the body.
Médecine tropicaleLa médecine tropicale est une branche de la médecine consacrée aux affections typiques des zones tropicales (les « maladies tropicales »). Elle concerne ces zones elles-mêmes mais aussi et de plus en plus le monde entier, en raison de la mondialisation et l’accélération des transports de biens et personnes, qui contribuent à diffuser sur toute la planète des pathogènes et leurs vecteurs, plusieurs maladies émergentes étant en outre susceptibles de prendre un caractère pandémiques durable (comme le SIDA dû au VIH ou peut-être la grippe aviaire).
Gray's AnatomyGray's Anatomy (initialement Anatomy, Descriptive and Surgical) est un livre écrit par Henry Gray (1827 - 1861) et illustré par Henry Vandyke Carter (1831 - 1897), considéré comme un classique de l'anatomie humaine. La première édition est publiée en 1858 et depuis l'ouvrage est régulièrement révisé. La quarante-et-unième et dernière édition, sous la direction de Susan Standring, est parue en 2015. Ce livre, longtemps inédit en France, vise l'anatomie systémique. Il est particulièrement populaire parmi les étudiants de Grande-Bretagne et d'Amérique.
Medical licenseA medical license is an occupational license that permits a person to legally practice medicine. In most countries, a person must have a medical license bestowed either by a specified government-approved professional association or a government agency before they can practice medicine. Licenses are not granted automatically to all people with medical degrees. A medical school graduate must receive a license to practice medicine to legally be called a physician. The process typically requires testing by a medical board.
Digital pathologyDigital pathology is a sub-field of pathology that focuses on data management based on information generated from digitized specimen slides. Through the use of computer-based technology, digital pathology utilizes virtual microscopy. Glass slides are converted into digital slides that can be viewed, managed, shared and analyzed on a computer monitor.
Microscopic scaleThe microscopic scale () is the scale of objects and events smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye, requiring a lens or microscope to see them clearly. In physics, the microscopic scale is sometimes regarded as the scale between the macroscopic scale and the quantum scale. Microscopic units and measurements are used to classify and describe very small objects. One common microscopic length scale unit is the micrometre (also called a micron) (symbol: μm), which is one millionth of a metre.
