postbulbar

Duodenal GISTs mostly originate from postbulbar duodenal segments [21 ], which can be different from duodenal adenocarcinomas as the latter mostly arise from duodenal bulbs and appear as annular lesions at the site of the periampullary [7 ].

enterocutaneous

enterocutaneous fistulas

Fistulas and sinus tracts are hallmarks of Crohn’s disease, affecting approximately 20–40% of patients [7]. The morphology and anatomic sites of fistulas are protean: enteroenteric, enterocolic, colocolic, enterovesical, enterovaginal, enterocutaneous, anorectal, duodenopancreatic, gastrocolic, colobronchial, and enterospinal [48–54].

hemocoagulase

The present study found that patients with postoperative fibrinogen deficiency experienced more operative blood loss and a higher rate of postoperative intracranial hematoma, and they were given more blood transfusions, more plasma transfusions, and were administered larger doses of hemocoagulase compared with patients without postoperative fibrinogen deficiency.

man-bun

The woman – more a girl really – was white, with short, electric-blue dreads, and the man's face was buried beneath the duvet with only his hair visible – one of those man-buns that some of the young white guys were sporting nowadays.

Little girls love him. I don't get it. He swept his black A1S ball cap off his head, revealing his ginger undercut man-bun hair—fucking man-buns, man, fucking stupid—and plopped the hat on Cleo's head. It slid down and covered her face.

dickkopf

Borrowed from German Dickkopf (“stubborn person”, literally “thick head”), from the fact that Dickkopf-related protein 1 (DKK1), one of the dickkopf proteins, was found to be required for head formation in embryos. The word was coined by Andrei Glinka, Wei Wu, Hajo Delius, A. Paula Monaghan, Claudia Blumenstock, and Christof Niehrs in a 1998 article published in Nature: see the quotation.
