Anaplan
Anaplan is a cloud-based enterprise planning software platform founded in England in 2008, known for its Hyperblock engine; it went public in 2018 and was taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2022.
Anaplasma
Anaplasma, tick-borne genus of gram-negative obligate intracellular bacteria (Anaplasmataceae, Rickettsiales); type species A. marginale causes bovine anaplasmosis, A. phagocytophilum causes human granulocytic anaplasmosis, treated with doxycycline.
Anaplasma marginale
Anaplasma marginale (Theiler 1910), type species of genus Anaplasma, Rickettsiales. Tick-borne intraerythrocytic bacterium causing bovine anaplasmosis, hemolytic anemia in cattle; lifelong carriers, no human infections reported.
Anaplasma phagocytophilum
Anaplasma phagocytophilum, formerly Ehrlichia phagocytophila and the HGE agent, is an obligate intracellular tickborne bacterium infecting neutrophils and causing human granulocytic anaplasmosis, treated with doxycycline.
Anaplastic ependymoma
Anaplastic ependymoma, formerly WHO grade III ependymoma, a rare malignant glial tumor of the brain or spinal cord; term retired in WHO CNS5 2021, treated with surgery plus radiotherapy, worse prognosis than grade II.
Anaplastic ganglioglioma
Anaplastic ganglioglioma (AGG), a former WHO grade III mixed neuronal-glial CNS tumor diagnosis, removed by the 2021 WHO CNS5 classification because molecular testing showed most cases are other tumor types such as pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma or glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype.
Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma
Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an aggressive CD30-positive T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, divided by the WHO into primary cutaneous, ALK-positive, and ALK-negative entities with differing genetics and survival.
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase gene on 2p23, first cloned in 1994 via the NPM-ALK fusion in lymphoma; EML4-ALK rearrangements drive non-small cell lung cancer and are treated with crizotinib through lorlatinib.
Anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, dual genotype
Anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, dual genotype (ORPHA:251663, ICD-11 2A00.0Y) is a rare IDH-mutant mixed glioma carrying both astrocytic (ATRX/TP53) and oligodendroglial (1p/19q codeletion) markers, retained as a WHO NEC category.
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), or undifferentiated thyroid cancer, is a rare, aggressive thyroid malignancy in under 2% of cases but up to 50% of thyroid cancer deaths; average survival about 6 months, treated with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and dabrafenib-trametinib for BRAF V600E.
Anaplerotic reactions
Anaplerotic reactions replenish tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates, chiefly via pyruvate carboxylase, glutamine, and propionyl-CoA precursors, balancing cataplerosis in biosynthesis, fatty liver, heart failure, and inherited metabolic disease.
Anapole
An anapole state, from Greek for 'without poles,' is a non-radiating electromagnetic configuration in which toroidal dipole radiation cancels electric dipole radiation, first proposed by Zel'dovich in 1957.
Anapole modes
Anapole modes are nonradiating electromagnetic excitations where electric and toroidal dipole radiation cancels, so a structure scatters almost no light while confining strong fields internally.
Anapole nanophotonics
Anapole nanophotonics is the branch of nanophotonics exploiting anapole states, nonradiating structures where electric and toroidal dipoles cancel radiation, confining energy for sensing, lasing, and nonlinear optics.
Anapole states in dielectric nanostructures
Anapole states in dielectric nanostructures are nonradiating excitations in which electric and toroidal dipole radiation cancels by destructive interference, confining strong near fields inside silicon nanoparticles.
Anápolis
Anápolis, Goiás, Brazil; also 'Trevo do Brasil'; Central-West municipality founded 1907, second largest economy of Goiás, home of the DAIA industrial district, Brazil's second pharmaceutical hub, and the Base Aérea de Anápolis.
Anaprazole sodium
Anaprazole sodium (安奈拉唑钠, trade name Anjiuwei) is a Chinese-developed proton pump inhibitor approved by the NMPA in June 2023 for duodenal ulcer, non-inferior to rabeprazole in phase III trials, with CYP2C19-independent metabolism.
Anarcestes
Anarcestes, an extinct Devonian ammonoid cephalopod genus (Anarcestidae, Agoniatitida; Mojsisovics 1882), names Emsian-Eifelian ammonoid zones in Morocco and Europe and vanished at the Choteč Event.
Anarcha-feminism
Anarcha-feminism, or anarcho-feminism, unites anarchism with feminism, treating patriarchy as a hierarchy to abolish. Key expressions include Mujeres Libres (Spain, 1936), Emma Goldman, and 1970s US groups like Black Rose.
Anarchism
Anarchism: political theory skeptical of justified authority and the state; also called libertarian socialism. Grounded in liberty, equality, mutual aid (Kropotkin), with landmark practice in the Spanish Revolution of 1936-1939.
Anarchism in Bulgaria
Anarchism in Bulgaria is the history of an anarchist communist movement that took root in 1892, formed the Federation of Anarchist Communists in 1919, and was suppressed under communism.
Anarchism in China (无政府主义)
Anarchism in China (无政府主义): a radical intellectual and social movement prominent from 1907 to the mid-1920s. Founded via Paris (Xin Shiji) and Tokyo (Tianyi) groups in 1907, led domestically by Shifu, it rivaled Bolshevism until marginalized after 1927.
Anarchism in Denmark
Anarchism in Denmark spans an anarcho-syndicalist union current from 1908 and, from the 1970s, a squatter counterculture whose most durable expression is Freetown Christiania, founded in Copenhagen in 1971.
Anarchism in Eastern Europe and the Balkans
Anarchism in Eastern Europe and the Balkans is the history of anarchist movements in Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, and Yugoslavia from the 1870s to the present.
Anarchism in France
Anarchism in France: the anarchist movement from Proudhon's mutualism and the First International through the London exile wave of 1880-1914, CGT anarcho-syndicalism, the May 1968 Enragés, and post-1945 milieus.
Anarchism in Germany
Anarchism in Germany: anti-state political currents from Enlightenment thinkers (Priber, Wieland), Stirner and Johann Most's Freiheit, the 150,000-member FAUD syndicalists of 1918-23, Nazi suppression, and the post-1968 Autonomen and FdA-IFA.
Anarchism in Italy
Anarchism in Italy, or the Italian anarchist movement, took root in the late nineteenth century under Bakunin's influence, with Errico Malatesta its leading figure into the 1930s.
Anarchism in Japan
Anarchism in Japan: a pre-war political movement arising around 1900 from encounters with Western socialism. Led by Kōtoku Shūsui, Ōsugi Sakae, and Ishikawa Sanshirō, its Taishō-era heyday ended under the 1925 Public Security Preservation Law.
Anarchism in Korea
Anarchism in Korea (한국 무정부주의): anti-statist current among Korean exiles in Tokyo, Shanghai and Manchuria from 1910, a third force in independence struggle, later deradicalized under the divided states.
