Inclusion body myositis

Inclusion body myositis (IBM), also called sporadic inclusion body myositis, is a progressive inflammatory muscle disease beginning after age 50, marked by asymmetric finger-flexor and quadriceps weakness, rimmed vacuoles on biopsy, anti-cN1A antibodies, and resistance to immunosuppression.

Inclusion–exclusion principle

The inclusion–exclusion principle, or sieve principle, is a combinatorial counting formula giving the size of a union of finite sets via an alternating sum of intersections.

Incoherent scatter

Incoherent scatter is a ground-based radar technique measuring electron density, temperatures, and plasma drift throughout the ionosphere; it remains the only ground-based technique observing full-altitude profiles, proposed by W. E. Gordon in 1958.
