Use of corneal tissue to replace that lost because of trauma or disease.  

Keratitis caused by a wound of the cornea.  

Damage to the cornea resulting from a burn.  

A part of the junctional complex at the lateral interface between epithelial cells; also called zonula occludens.  

A joint composed of three arthrodial joints, the bones of which articulate with the bases of the metatarsal bones.  

The contraction of a muscle after tapping its tendon.  

Jaundice resulting from chemical injury to the liver or sepsis.  

In electrocardiography, the changing of the normal upright (convex) appearance of the ventricular repolarization to a concave tracing in which the concavity is depressed below the isoelectric line. T-wave inversion is often associated with ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular ectopic beats, and coronary ischemia, among other conditions.  

The amount of therapeutic ultrasonic energy delivered to tissues over a given time. The temporal average intensity is calculated by multiplying the spatial average intensity by the percent duty cycle (e.g., 20 w/cm2 X 50% duty cycle = 1 w/cm2 TAI). The temporal average intensity is meaningful only during the application of pulsed ultrasound.  

The introduction of oxygen into the trachea during mechanical ventilation in order to decrease dead space.
