Plexus choroïdesLes plexus choroïdes forment des structures, des parois, des ventricules du cerveau où le liquide cérébrospinal est sécrété. C'est un lacis de vaisseaux sanguins capillaires poreux (on dit qu'ils sont fenestrés), entourés d'épendymocytes (ou cellules épendymaires) qui constituent un tissu similaire à un épithélium. La porosité des capillaires permet au sang d'arriver aux épendymocytes, mais pas au-delà. Les plexus choroïdes fabriquent le liquide cérébrospinal en laissant passer certaines molécules, et en bloquant d'autres.
Cluster samplingIn statistics, cluster sampling is a sampling plan used when mutually homogeneous yet internally heterogeneous groupings are evident in a statistical population. It is often used in marketing research. In this sampling plan, the total population is divided into these groups (known as clusters) and a simple random sample of the groups is selected. The elements in each cluster are then sampled. If all elements in each sampled cluster are sampled, then this is referred to as a "one-stage" cluster sampling plan.
High-dose estrogen therapyHigh-dose estrogen therapy (HDE) is a type of hormone therapy in which high doses of estrogens are given. When given in combination with a high dose of progestogen, it has been referred to as pseudopregnancy. It is called this because the estrogen and progestogen levels achieved are in the range of the very high levels of these hormones that occur during pregnancy. HDE and pseudopregnancy have been used in medicine for a number of hormone-dependent indications, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and endometriosis, among others.
