The term cutaneous T-cell lymphoma(CTCL) encompasses a broad group of lymphomatous neoplasms of helper T cells that present in the skin but later may involve lymph nodes, peripheral blood cells, and the viscera. They vary in histology, immunophenotype, and prognosis. 2, record 1, English, - cutaneous%20T%2Dcell%20lymphoma

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma can cause rash-like skin redness, slightly raised or scaly round patches on the skin, and, sometimes, skin tumors. Several types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma exist. The most common type is mycosis fungoides. Sezary syndrome is a less common type that causes skin redness over the entire body. 3, record 1, English, - cutaneous%20T%2Dcell%20lymphoma

Le terme «occlusion» se définit, en médecine, par «l'état de ce qui est fermé». Le terme «occlusodontie» s'applique à toutes les thérapeutiques qui tentent de résoudre la dysfonction et la malocclusion associée, quelles qu'en soient les causes. Le terme «occlusodontologie» est une manière d'envisager la pratique dentaire sous un aspect respectant parfaitement les règles énoncées par la physiologie, l'anatomie et la neuro-physiologie humaine. Par conséquent, l'occlusodontologie n'est pas en soi une «spécialité» réservée à quelques praticiens, mais bien un état d'esprit utilisé par tous les omnipraticiens et les spécialistes concernés par l'appareil manducateur. 1, record 3, French, - occlusodontie
