Myoglobin is a gem-containing chromoprotein; is a light chain of myosin with a molecular weight of 17.6 kDa. It is a protein transporting oxygen in skeletal muscles and myocardium.
Myelogram - the percentage of cell elements in smears prepared from the points of the red bone marrow. The bone marrow contains two groups of cells: cells of the reticular stroma (fibroblasts, osteoblasts, fat and endothelial cells), which constitute an absolute minority in number, and cells of the hematopoietic tissue (parenchyma).
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the causative agent of human respiratory tract diseases, parasitic on cell membranes. The specific gravity of respiratory mycoplasmosis in the general group of respiratory diseases varies for different population groups from 35% to 40%. Mycoplasmal pneumonia accounts for 10-17% of cases of total pneumonia.
In men mycoplasma (Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum) most often cause urethritis, in women - endometritis and salpingitis, in newborns can cause meningitis, respiratory infections, septicemia.
Ureaplasma urealiticum is referred to as mycoplasmas. The name "ureaplasma" comes from the ability of this type of mycoplasma to synthesize the urease enzyme, which cleaves urea with the formation of carbon dioxide and ammonia.
When using ELISA, antibodies of IgM and IgG classes can be determined for Mycoplasma hominis. This method is more sensitive and specific (92% and 95% respectively) than others.
Mycoplasmas are classified as conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. They persist and parasitize on membranes of epithelial cells and can be localized both extra- and intracellularly.
Mucin-like associated antigen (MCA) is an antigen present in mammary gland cells. It is a serum mucin-glycoprotein. The concentration of MCA in the serum increases with breast cancer and in 20% with benign breast diseases
Monocytes are formed in the red bone marrow from monoblasts. After exiting the bone marrow, where unlike granulocytes they do not form a marrow reserve, monocytes circulate in the blood from 36 to 104 hours, and then go into tissues.
The history of biomarker diagnostics of prostate cancer (PCa) is three quarters of a century. In his studies, A.B. Gutman et al. (1938) noted a significant increase in the activity of serum acid phosphatase in men with PCa metastases.

The detection of antibodies to meningococcus is used to diagnose meningococcal infection in bacterial and serous meningitis, as well as with urethritis.

IgM antibodies to measles are detected in the acute period of infection (within 6 days after the onset of the rash - in 80%, in 7 days - in 95% of patients), they peak at 2-3 weeks, hold for 4 weeks and then gradually disappear (50% of patients become seronegative after 4 months). IgG antibodies to measles appear in the period of convalescence, in those who have recovered they persist up to 10 years.
The mean content of hemoglobin in the erythrocyte (MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin) characterizes the hemoglobin content in the erythrocyte.
Creatine kinase in the cardiac muscle consists of two isoenzymes: KK-MM (60% of total activity) and KK-MB (40% of total activity). KK-MB - dimer, consists of two subunits: M (muscle) and B (cerebral).
Myocardial infarction is an acute disease that arises from a sharp discrepancy between myocardial oxygen demand and its delivery through the coronary arteries, which results in the development of necrosis of a part of the heart muscle.
Disturbance of nutrition - a condition caused by a change in food intake or a violation of its utilization by the body, which leads to disruption of functions at the subcellular, cellular and organ levels.
Bone tissue forms a dynamic "depot" of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and other compounds necessary to maintain homeostasis in mineral metabolism. Bone consists of three components: cells, organic matrix and mineral substances. The share of cells accounts for only 3% of the volume of bone tissue.
Malonic dialdehyde in the blood is an unfavorable sign, since it indicates that active lipid peroxidation occurs. Normally, the serum dialdehyde malonovogo should be no more than 1 micromol / l.
Plasmodium in the blood smear in healthy people is absent. Malarial plasmodia alternately parasitize in two hosts: in the body of a female mosquito of the genus Anopheles, where sexual reproduction occurs, sporogony, and in the human body where asexual reproduction occurs, schizogony
Magnesium is the fourth most element in the human body after potassium, sodium, calcium and the second most abundant element in the cell after potassium. The human body contains about 25 g of magnesium, 60% of it is part of the bone tissue, and most of the rest of the stock is in cells. Only 1% of the total magnesium is contained in the extracellular fluid.
