telediagnosis (medicine) and APUD cells (medicine)


telediagnosis (medicine)


telediagnosis
Detection of a disease by evaluation of data transmitted to a receiving station, a process normally involving patient-monitoring instruments and a transfer link to a diagnostic centre at some distance from the patient.


APUD cells (medicine)


apud cells
Cells derived from primitive cell types in the neural crest. During ontogeny they migrate to the foregut and specific locations of the neuroendocrine system. Properly located these cells form part of the normal hormone producing tissues of the neuroendocrine system. If misdirected these cells may become hyperplastic, adenomatous, or malignant (cf. Apudoma).
