appendectomy (medicine) and core particle (medicine)


appendectomy (medicine)


appendectomy
<procedure, surgery> A surgical procedure which involves the removal of an inflamed appendix.

This procedure may be performed through a conventional abdominal incision or using a laparoscope. In both approaches the patient is asleep under General anaesthesia. Convalescence in the hospital is 1 to 3 days. Typically much shorter if performed laparoscopically. Rupture of the appendix can lengthen recovery time considerably.

See: appendicitis.


core particle (medicine)


core particle


The group of eight histones (protein molecules which act like spools for DNA to wrap around so that it can be compacted to fit within the nucleus) in the middle of a nucleosome (which is the histone core particle plus the small segment of DNA wrapped around it).
