  • Visual Disorders

CONT

In people with diabetes, too much blood sugar can damage the tiny blood vessels at the back inner wall of the eye, called the retina, or block those vessels completely. This condition is diabetic retinopathy. Tiny bulges, called microaneurysms, form in the blood vessels, leaking fluid into the retina. The fluid can cause swelling in a part of the retina called the macula. This serious eye problem is diabetic macular edema. It can cause vision problems or blindness.

Le diabète peut entraîner des problèmes oculaires, dont l'œdème maculaire diabétique (OMD), qui cause une perte de vision. [...] L'œdème maculaire diabétique survient lorsque de minuscules vaisseaux sanguins qui alimentent la rétine commencent à fuir, provoquant un gonflement et des problèmes de vision.

DEF

A thin-walled hollow structure in early embryonic development that contains a cluster of cells called the inner cell mass from which the embryo arises.

CONT

Mammalian development may involve compartments. The fertilized egg divides to form a small ball of cells, the morula... At the blastocyst stage(3 1/2 days) the proliferating cells have formed two polyclones : the inner cell mass and the trophoblast.

OBS

Certains auteurs ne font aucune distinction entre les termes «blastocyste» et «blastula». Toutefois, il s'agit de deux stades différents du développement de l'embryon. En effet, la blastula (comporte un seul feuillet) précède le blastocyste (comporte plusieurs feuillets).

  • Personality Development
DEF

[A concept in psychoanalytical theory] in which one perceives all or part of another individual as constituing all or part of themselves.

CONT

Incorporation is derived from the Latin incorporare, meaning "to form into a body". It is perhaps the most basic form of taking the outside world into the inner world, being focused on bodily sensation and ingestion. Although this need not mean actual bodily ingestion, this term is used to explain the way that incorporation is experienced and conceived. By bringing something into the body, I make it undeniably a part of the physical, solid and real me. Once incorporated, it cannot be separated from me, but I can choose what to do with it, including destroying or expelling it.

CONT

The impression of skeletal remains in adjoining rock constitutes... an internal mould, if the impression reveals the form and markings of inner surfaces.

CONT

Few organisms are preserved entire in the rocks; only the hard parts, such as shells and bones, as a rule endure. These parts may be preserved unchanged, but commonly the material out of which they were built by the organism has been dissolved by circulating solutions ... The shell or hard part may even be wholly removed, and only an imprint or hollow mold be left in the rock. A natural mold of this sort may later become filled with mineral matter, and this filling thus forms a copy or natural cast of the organic object.

DEF

The product of moist, cohesive snow that when initiated by wind rolls across the landscape, gathering snow until it can no longer move.

CONT

A snow roller is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which large snowballs are formed naturally as chunks of snow are blown along the ground by wind, picking up material along the way, in much the same way that the large snowballs used in snowmen are made. Unlike snowballs made by people, snow rollers are typically cylindrical in shape, and are often hollow since the inner layers, which are the first layers to form, are weak and thin compared to the outer layers and can easily be blown away, leaving what looks like a doughnut or jelly roll. Snow rollers have been seen to grow as large as two feet in diameter.... snow rollers are more common in hilly areas. However, [they are] a very rare phenomenon.

Ceriferous is a descriptive for insects and plants producing wax.

CONT

Beeswax is secreted by honeybees of a certain age in the form of thin scales. The scales are produced by glands of 12 to 17 days old worker bees on the ventral(stomach) surface of the abdomen. Worker bees have eight wax-producing glands on the inner sides of the sternites(the ventral shield or plate of each segment of the body). Wax is produced from abdominal segments 4 to 7. The size of these wax glands depends on the age of the worker.

  • Physics
CONT

When the temperature sinks on a cold winter's day water vapour becomes water and water becomes ice. These so-called phase transitions and the changed states of matter can be roughly described and understood with classical physics. What happens when the temperature falls is that the random heat movement in gases, liquids and solid bodies ceases. But the situation becomes entirely different when the temperature sinks further and approaches absolute zero,-273. 15°C. In samples of liquid helium what is termed superfluidity occurs, a phenomenon that cannot be understood in terms of classical physics. When a liquid becomes superfluid its atoms suddenly lose all their randomness and move in a coordinated manner in each movement. This causes the liquid to lack all inner friction : It can overflow a cup, flow out through very small holes, and exhibits a whole series of other non-classical effects. Fundamental understanding of the properties of such a liquid requires an advanced form of quantum physics, and these very cold liquids are therefore termed quantum liquids...
