STEM trial
STEM trial (Supportive Text vs Email Messaging trial, NCT04638231): randomized noninferiority pilot trial in Edmonton, Canada comparing daily CBT-based supportive text messages versus email for major depressive disorder; found no significant difference between channels (N=66).
Stem-and-leaf display
A stem-and-leaf display, also called a stemplot, is a data display that splits each value into a stem and a leaf, showing distribution shape while keeping all values.
Stem-cell therapy
Stem-cell therapy: transplanting stem cells to treat disease. Established form is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT, bone marrow); only FDA-approved US products are cord-blood blood-forming stem cells; most other uses are unproven.
Stemflow
Stemflow is precipitation intercepted by a plant canopy that runs down stems, branches, and trunks to the soil, concentrating water and nutrients at the plant's base.
STEMI equivalents and occlusion patterns
STEMI equivalents are ECG patterns indicating acute coronary artery occlusion when standard ST-elevation criteria are absent, including de Winter pattern, posterior MI, Wellens syndrome, and modified Sgarbossa-positive LBBB; missing them delays reperfusion.
Stemming
Stemming, or word stemming, is a text-normalization technique in natural language processing that cuts affixes off words so variants like eating and eat share a stem.
