• Platelet-rich plasma therapy — A clinical or aesthetic therapeutic method (also publicly known as PRP therapy or Vampire facelift) consisting of collecting venous blood from a patient, structurally centrifuging it to isolate platelet-rich plasma, and subsequently injecting this autologous serum into the tissues of the same individual. This process stimulates cellular regeneration, collagen synthesis, and endogenous tissue repair, being widely used in cosmetic dermatology, orthopedics, and trichology.
• Azygous — Unpaired; a term used in anatomy to designate certain organs, muscles, or blood vessels (especially the azygous vein) that do not have a symmetrical counterpart on the opposite side of the human or animal body.
• Azotemic — Pertaining to azotemia, belonging to it, or showcasing the characteristics of an abnormal accumulation of nitrogenous compounds in the blood; describes the clinical state of a patient or pathological manifestations triggered by advanced renal failure and the retention of urea and creatinine.
• Azotemia — A biochemical condition characterized by the presence or abnormal accumulation of non-protein nitrogenous compounds (especially urea and creatinine) in the blood, resulting from a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate within the kidneys; the normal presence of these compounds in the body.
• Babesia — Babesia; a genus of parasitic protozoans transmitted by ticks that infect and destroy red blood cells in mammals, including humans, causing a severe condition known as babesiosis characterized by hemolytic anemia and high fever.
• Bacillemia — The pathological presence of bacilli in the circulating bloodstream; a severe systemic infectious state in which rod-shaped bacteria overcome local immune barriers and enter the blood, carrying the potential to disseminate infection throughout the body and trigger septic shock or a severe form of bacteremia.
• Bacteriopexy — A biological phenomenon consisting of the fixation, capture, or retention of bacteria by certain cells (especially macrophages and histiocytes) or organs with phagocytic roles, without them necessarily being destroyed immediately. In an immune sense, bacteriopexy represents an essential clearing stage of blood and lymphatic flows, whereby the body temporarily isolates infectious foci and prevents systemic dissemination of microbes.
• Bacteriotoxemia — A severe pathological condition characterized by the presence and circulation of toxins produced by bacteria within the bloodstream, regardless of whether the bacteria themselves have disseminated or remained localized in a primary infectious focus. Clinically, bacteriotoxemia represents the pathophysiological driver behind diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria, or botulism, where devastating systemic effects are determined directly by the diffusion of bacterial toxins.
