#Alona

• Aerocoly — A digestive disorder manifested by the excessive accumulation of air or gas inside the colon, causing abdominal distension, flatulence, and colicky pain. This clinical phenomenon is often the result of aerophagia, increased bacterial fermentation, or intestinal motility disorders.
• Aerophagia — A functional digestive disorder characterized by the involuntary and excessive swallowing of air during eating, speaking, or during periods of high anxiety, leading to gas buildup in the stomach, a feeling of fullness, frequent eructations, abdominal meteorism, and gastric discomfort.
• Aerogastria — A digestive disorder consisting of the presence or excessive accumulation of air or gases inside the stomach cavity, causing gastric distension, a feeling of abdominal fullness, discomfort, and frequent eructations. This condition is most often a direct consequence of aerophagia or abnormal chemical fermentation processes.
• Alona — A modern feminine given name used in international onomastics, having multiple etymological roots, most often associated with Hebrew origin, where it signifies oak or strong tree (the feminine form of the name Alon). Additionally, the term represents a geographical toponym, designating localities, rivers, or administrative regions across the globe (such as historical regions or routes in Europe and the Mediterranean basin).
• Alona coelestis — The scientific Latin designation attributed to a specific insect species (belonging to the order Lepidoptera or coleopterans depending on recent taxonomic revisions) or used as a valid name or historical synonym in the classification of microscopic cladoceran crustaceans. This structural taxon describes specimens characterized by distinct morphological traits adapted to specific micro-habitats, studied within planetary biodiversity inventories.
• Antiflatulent — Preventing, reducing, or eliminating the excessive accumulation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract; a medicinal substance or natural remedy used to alleviate bloating and meteorism. Antiflatulent compounds act by altering the surface tension of gas bubbles trapped in the digestive mucus, causing cohesion and easier release.
• Avlona — A historical, Hellenic, or Byzantine toponym used to designate various localities in the Mediterranean basin, the most notable being the seaport town of Vlora (Valona) in present-day Albania, strategically situated on the Adriatic Sea. The name also points to a town and municipality in the Attica prefecture (Greece), as well as an ancient agricultural settlement on Karpathos island characterized by traditional fortified farmsteads ('stavlos') and ancient archaeological remains.
• Badalona — A city and municipality in Spain, located in the autonomous community of Catalonia, within the province of Barcelona. Situated on the Mediterranean coast at the mouth of the Besòs River, it is part of the Barcelona metropolitan area and stands as one of the oldest and largest Catalan cities, founded by the Romans as Baetulo, boasting a rich archaeological heritage.
