• Arterionecrosis — A destructive pathological process consisting of necrosis or cell death of the structural elements composing an arterial wall, particularly the muscular and elastic tunics. This severe condition leads to the loss of vascular integrity, favoring the appearance of aneurysms, spontaneous ruptures with massive hemorrhages, or occlusive thromboses.
• Arteriorrhagia — A massive and violent hemorrhage originating from a ruptured or severed artery, structurally characterized by the elimination of oxygenated blood (bright red color) in spurts synchronized with the heartbeats. It represents an extreme, life-threatening medical emergency due to the imminent risk of rapid hypovolemic shock.
• Atopomenorrhea — A rare gynecological condition, also known as ectopic or vicarious menstruation, characterized by periodic monthly hemorrhages occurring outside the uterine cavity (e.g., through the nasal mucosa, stomach, lungs, or skin scars), coinciding with or replacing the normal menstrual flow.
• To self-devour — To destroy, consume, or eat oneself. In cell biology, it describes the structural process of autophagy through which a cell degrades its own damaged components to survive, whereas in a figurative or literary sense, it refers to a person consumed and ground internally by destructive passions, remorse, or hatred.
• Self-devouring — The act of self-devouring and its result; a physiological or pathological process through which an organism, cell, or tissue consumes or destroys its own constitutive structures. In cell biology, it represents the equivalent of the structural process of autophagy, whereas in a figurative or psychological sense, it describes intense inner turmoil caused by remorse, obsessions, or destructive moral suffering.
• Autophagic — Regarding cells, organisms, or biological processes: autophagic; destroying or consuming its own tissues, cellular components, or altered organelles to survive or regenerate. In biology, the term applies to vacuoles or lysosomal structures involved in autophagy, ensuring cellular cleanup and macromolecule recycling.
• Autophagy — A fundamental physiological process through which cells isolate, degrade, and recycle their own non-functional components, aged organelles, or degraded macromolecules via lysosomes. This homeostatic mechanism plays a crucial role in cell survival under stress or starvation conditions, in eliminating intracellular pathogens, and in preventing various metabolic or neurodegenerative pathologies.
• Autoproteolysis — A biochemical process of spontaneous and autonomous cleavage, degradation, or enzymatic digestion of proteins within a cell or organic tissue, executed by the organism's own proteolytic enzymes (proteases, peptidases). This endogenous structural phenomenon occurs in a controlled manner during autophagy and cellular turnover, but can be triggered destructively and uncontrollably in pathological states of ischemia, acute inflammation, or immediately following cell death (post-mortem necrosis).
