### steroid:

Intralesional steroid
* are ineffective, and stenoses require surgical correction.
* work well on facial lesions, but too painful on fingers.

Nasal steroid
* are almost free of side effects
  - generally well tolerated during pregnancy and for nursing mothers
  - useful for both outdoor and indoor allergies
* provide impressive treatment for allergic rhinitis.
* reduce swelling and mucus production.
* work well, too.

Natural steroid
* Most natural steroids increase growth
  - muscle growth
* have a much lower potency that their synthesized counterparts.
* play a key role in the body processes of living things.

Oral steroid
* are more difficult for the liver to metabolize than injectable steroids
  - the first line of treatment in reducing congestive infiltration
* can lessen the symptoms of tonsiliitis caused by mononucleosis.
* cause more liver damage than injectable.
* do have side effects that frighten most parents.
* reduce swelling, inflammation, and mucus production in the airways.
* work by decreasing mucus production and reactivity and inflammation of the airways.

Ovarian steroid
* influence the activity of neuroendocrine dopaminergic neurons.
* modulate responsiveness to dopamine and expression of G-proteins in lactotrophs.

### steroid:

Sterol
* also play an important role in the regulation of membrane fluidity.
* are alcohol
  - biologically more active when they contain sterolins and are absorbed more efficiently
  - essential for several physiological processes in most eukaryotes
  - fat compounds with no calories, such as alcohol
  - the group of compounds found throughout nature, with many vital biological functions
* contain chemical classes of substances that have various effects.
* form one of the most diverse families of organic molecules in nature.
* have a backbone of four carbon rings, but no fatty acids.
* is alcohol
* resembling ergosterol and cholesterol are also present in yerba mate.

### steroid | sterol:

Plant sterol
* are the source for many synthetic steroids.
* can stop cholesterol from being absorbed from the digestive tract into the body.

Synthetic steroid
* are very similar to natural ones.
* can also cause masculinization in women.

Systemic steroid
* are at times taken orally, or injected intramuscularly.
* circulate through the blood stream to various body sites.
* is used in severe cases.
* produce rapid resolution of both the itching and the rash.

Topical steroid
* are drugs that fight inflammation
  - key medications for controlling the itching and inflammation
  - the main treatment of eczema
  - useful in the treatment of the condition
  - very effective medications

* have no role in the management of pruritus of unknown origin.
* help to reduce itching.
* suppress the inflammatory response.

### stickers:

Bumper sticker
* are stickers
  - the lowest form of the English language
* decorate new cars, covering the rust and dents on older ones.

Stiffness
* can lead to more pain and the cycle of pain begins.
* causes the higher frequency components to shift to higher frequencies.
* correlates to ankle flex.
* factor it takes more energy to move the string so the sound decays faster.
* is bad after resting joints, but quickly works off
  - clumsiness
  - common, especially upon arising in the morning
  - determined by material type and geometry
  - initially due to inflammation, then to fibrous, and eventually bony ankylosis
  - most noticeable in the morning
  - the mathematical inverse of deflection
  - theinitial slope of the stress-strain curve
* linear phenomenon resulting from the finite diameter of the string.
* means difficulty bending or straightening finger joints.
* occurs due to inflammation and pain associated with movement.
* result of rigid, stiff thinking.
