The term ocular chamber, or oculus, refers to the epiplasm (the portion of cytoplasm not used in ascospore formation) that is surrounded by the "bourrelet" (the thickened tissue near the top of the ascus). [2] Typically, a single ascus will contain eight ascospores (or octad). The eight spores are produced by meiosis followed by a mitotic division.
The ascus is a diagnostic morphological feature of the bryozoan suborder Ascophora (hence the name of the suborder). [1] It is a water-filled sac of frontal membrane opening (ascopore) at or near the zooid orifice.

Pronunciation follows convention outside the medical field, in which acronyms are generally pronounced as if they were a word (JAMA, SIDS), initialisms are generally pronounced as individual letters (DNA, SSRI), and abbreviations generally use the expansion (soln. = "solution", sup. = "superior").
ASAP, generally, is not considered a pre-malignancy, or a carcinoma in situ; it is an expression of diagnostic uncertainty, [1] and analogous to the diagnosis of ASCUS (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) on the Pap test.
ASCUS ASC-US: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance: ASCVD: arteriosclerotic vascular disease (arteriosclerosis) ASD: atrial septal defect autism spectrum disorder ASGUS: atypical squamous glandular cells of undetermined significance ASH ASHD: arteriosclerotic heart disease (coronary heart disease) ASH: asymmetric septal hypertrophy
Prognosis (Greek: πρόγνωσις "fore-knowing, foreseeing"; pl.: prognoses) is a medical term for predicting the likelihood or expected development of a disease, including whether the signs and symptoms will improve or worsen (and how quickly) or remain stable over time; expectations of quality of life, such as the ability to carry out daily activities; the potential for complications and ...
SOFA was designed to provide a simple daily score, that indicates how the status of the patient evolves over time.; Glasgow Coma Scale (also named GCS) is designed to provide the status for the central nervous system.
