Fish-hooking

Fish-hooking is the act of inserting a finger or fingers of one or both hands into the mouth, nostrils or other orifices of a person, and pulling away from the centerline of the body; in most cases with the intention of pulling, tearing, or lacerating the surrounding tissue.

Gamgee Tissue

Gamgee Tissue is a surgical dressing invented by Dr. Joseph Sampson Gamgee in Birmingham, England, in 1880.

Greg Fahy

He was also Head of the Tissue Cryopreservation Section of the Transfusion and Cryopreservation Research Program of the U.S. Naval Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland where he spearheaded the original concept of ice blocking agents.

Heinrich Wilhelm Gottfried von Waldeyer-Hartz

Waldeyer used the path-breaking discoveries by neuroanatomists (and later Nobel Prize winners) Camillo Golgi (1843–1926) and Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934), who had used the silver nitrate method of staining nerve tissue (Golgi's method) to formulate a short brilliant synthesis, even though he did not contribute with any original observations.

Human cloning

Since a normal embryo implants at 14 days, Dr Robert Lanza, ACT's director of tissue engineering, told the Daily Mail newspaper that the embryo could not be seen as a person before 14 days.

Hyaluronidase deficiency

Hyaluronidase deficiency (also known as "Mucopolysaccharidosis type IX") is a condition caused by mutations in HYAL1, and characterized by multiple soft-tissue masses.

Hyfrecator

Desiccation, in which electrical energy kills tissue near the probe tip by heating it past the temperature at which cells can survive.

Local anesthesia

Pulsed radiofrequency, neuromodulation, direct introduction of medication and nerve ablation may be used to target either the tissue structures and organ/systems responsible for persistent nociception or the nociceptors from the structures implicated as the source of chronic pain.

Octopine has been isolated from the muscle tissue of invertebrates such as octopus, Pecten maximus and Sipunculus nudus where it functions as an analog of lactic acid.

Papain

The tissue must then be triturated (passed quickly up and down through a Pasteur pipette) to break up the pieces of tissue into a single cell suspension.

Peripheral light focusing

The limbal region is a stem cell rich tissue and as a result of the focusing of SUVR, it is thought that ocular conditions such as Pinguecula and Pterygium are a result of this increased exposure to SUVR.
