1986, B. W. Kalisch, S. A. Krawetz, K. H. Schoenwaelder, J. H. van de Sande, Covalently linked sequencing primer linkers (splinkers) for sequence analysis of restriction fragments, Gene, 1986; 44(2-3): 263-70, doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(86)90190-3, PMID: 3023188,
A new method for direct sequence analysis of DNA restriction fragments uses synthetic covalently linked complementary oligodeoxynucleotides, as universal sequencing primer linkers (splinkers). These splinkers were designed to contain an inverted repeat sequence which forms a double-stranded hairpin structure with a known restriction site. The splinkers were characterized by their ability to be self-ligating (dimerized) and by their restriction digest product analysis of both the monomer and dimer.

The process requires a total of 64 splinkers and 4096 anchors. Initially, a selected splinker is ligated to a selected anchor.

In essence this means having an awareness of what the normal range of movement and end-feel is for that joint.

2006, Leon Chaitow, Ken Crenshaw -, Muscle Energy Techniques, →ISBN, page 200:

There may be a range of end-feels within the 'elastic' group, but all are indicative of normal tissue tension, such as the 'leathery' end-feel of passive pronation and supination of the forearm, or the even tighter 'rubbery' end-feel of ankle plantarflexion and wrist flexion where the reistance to the movement is in part provided by the tendons spanning the joint.

2010, Elaine Atkins, Jill Kerr, Emily Goodlad, A Practical Approach to Orthopaedic Medicine, →ISBN, page 19:

The quality of the resistance from R1 to R2, the elastic zone, is then assessed as well as the end-feel to the movement.

suprapontine

Despite focus on brainstem areas in central respiratory control, regions rostral to the medulla and pons are now recognized as being important in modulating respiratory outflow during various physiological states. The focus of this review is to highlight the role that suprapontine areas of the mammalian brain play in ventilatory control mechanisms. New imaging techniques have become invaluable in confirming and broadening our understanding of the manner in which the cerebral cortex of humans contributes to respiratory control during volitional breathing.

Long-term renal transplant survivors display high incidences of hypogonadism, neoplasms, erectile dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome. Although the urologist has a major role in the kidney transplantation surgery and treatment of the graft-related surgical complications, the follow-up of these patients is essentially focused on kidney function and the immunosuppressive regimen. We sought to evaluate the role of a nephrourologic follow-up for kidney transplant recipients.

Valsalva manoeuvre (plural Valsalva manoeuvres)

Named after Italian anatomist Antonio Maria Valsalva (1666–1723), whose research focused on the ears.

named-after

Variations of the Valsalva manoeuvre can be used during medical examination.

We observed forearm vasodilatation following the Valsalva manoeuvre in 11 out of 19 normal subjects; the remainder showed a persistent forearm vasoconstriction (Bennett et al. 1979b).

1983, Roger Bannister, Autonomic Failure, Oxford University Press, page 426:

When that time comes, a person may perform the Valsalva manoeuvre, increasing the pressure inside the abdomen by exhaling against a closed airway as if popping one’s ears on a flight.

2018, Alex Blasdel, “Bowel movement: the push to change the way you poo”, in The Guardian:

The Valsalva manoeuvre is performed by forced expiration against a closed glottis. It is attributed to Antonio Valsalva (1666–1723), who described it as a test of Eustachian tube patency and as a method of expelling pus from the middle ear.

overtriage

en-noun

overtriage (countable and uncountable, plural overtriages)

As emergency medicine doctors, we regularly give medical advice to family and close friends when they get sick or are injured and don't know what to do. In a matter of moments, we triage, diagnose, and assemble a logical plan, whatever the issue may be. […] Frankly, it's a service everyone should have. Think about the potential time and money saved if this option for medical care and triage was broadly available. Overtriage would plummet. That's when people run to the emergency department (ED) and wait endless hours, only to be reassured or receive limited treatment. Undertriage would also decline. That's when people should go to the ED but, unwisely, wait. For example, this may occur when symptoms of dizziness end up being a stroke.
