Cliona M. Rooney is an immunologist and virologist at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston known for developing EBV-specific T-cell therapy, now standard of care in Europe, for EBV-associated lymphomas.
Cliona viridis
Cliona viridis (green boring sponge, clione verte), a green excavating demosponge (Schmidt, 1862) of the Clionaidae that bores Mediterranean calcareous substrates, hosts Symbiodinium zooxanthellae, and erodes up to 28 kg m⁻² a⁻¹.
Clioquinol
Clioquinol (iodochlorhydroxyquin) is an 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative with antibacterial and anticandidal activity, used in topical skin preparations, best known for the SMON epidemic in Japan and later Alzheimer's disease research.
CLIP trial
CLIP trial (Community Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia), NCT01911494: three cluster randomised trials in India, Pakistan, and Mozambique testing CHW-led, mHealth-guided pre-eclampsia care; no improvement in the primary composite outcome.
CLIP-Seq
CLIP-Seq, cross-linking immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing, maps the RNA transcripts a specific RNA-binding protein contacts inside cells, down to exact nucleotides in modern variants like iCLIP and eCLIP.
CLIPPERS
CLIPPERS (chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids) is a rare steroid-responsive CNS inflammatory disorder, first described in 2010, causing subacute brainstem symptoms with punctate gadolinium-enhancing pontine lesions on MRI.
Clitellum
Clitellum: the glandular epidermal ring (saddle) on earthworms, leeches, and other Clitellata annelids that secretes the proteinaceous cocoon protecting embryos; appears at sexual maturity, forms cocoons after mating, and defines the clade Clitellata.
Clitocybe
Clitocybe (funnel caps) is a genus of white-spored agaric fungi in Clitocybaceae, type species C. nebularis. Many species contain muscarine (up to 1.6% by weight); molecular work has moved most species to Collybia and allied genera.
Clitocybe dealbata
Clitocybe dealbata, Ivory Funnel, basionym Agaricus dealbatus, is a small white muscarine-containing grassland mushroom (3-4% muscarine, sweating syndrome), often synonymized with Clitocybe rivulosa and confused with edible Marasmius oreades.
Clitocybe nebularis
Clitocybe nebularis, known as the clouded agaric or clouded funnel, is a large gray-capped woodland mushroom that fruits in autumn and causes gastrointestinal poisoning in some people.
Clitocybe nuda
Clitocybe nuda, the wood blewit (also Lepista nuda, now Collybia nuda), is an edible lilac-capped saprobic mushroom of woodland leaf litter, fruiting August to December across Europe and North America.
Clitocybe rivulosa
Clitocybe rivulosa, Fool's Funnel (syn. C. dealbata; now Collybia rivulosa), a small deadly poisonous white grassland mushroom of Europe and North America containing muscarine, easily confused with edible Marasmius oreades.
Clitopilus prunulus
Clitopilus prunulus, the Miller or sweetbread mushroom, is an edible Entolomataceae fungus with a mealy odor, decurrent pink gills, and ribbed pink spores, but it resembles toxic Clitocybe species.
Clitoral enlargement methods
Clitoral enlargement methods: testosterone therapy (mainly gender-affirming) grows the clitoris 1-3 cm over 1-2 years; topical DHT lacks approval; surgery reduces clitoromegaly.
Clitoral erection
Clitoral erection: engorgement of the clitoris during arousal via NO/cGMP/PKG activation of BK(Ca) channels in erectile tissue homologous to the penis, innervated by S2–S4 parasympathetic cavernous nerves.
Clitoral hood
Clitoral hood (prepuce of the clitoris): skin fold formed by the labia minora covering the glans clitoris; coverage varies widely; associated conditions include clitoral adhesions and phimosis.
Clitoral hood reduction
Clitoral hood reduction (hoodplasty) is an elective surgery removing excess prepuce tissue over the clitoris, usually with labiaplasty; techniques, anesthesia, risks like nerve damage, and satisfaction evidence.
Clitoria
Clitoria (butterfly pea genus) is a pantropical Fabaceae genus published by Linnaeus in 1753, with 30-70 species centered in northern South America; C. ternatea yields ternatins, cyclotides, and butelase-1.
Clitoria ternatea
Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea, blue pea), a perennial Fabaceae legume native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, grown for forage and ornament and known for ternatin blue anthocyanins, cyclotides, and food-colorant use.
Clitoridectomy
Clitoridectomy: surgical removal of the clitoris, in whole or part; WHO FGM type I, and a 19th-century Western medical operation for masturbation and hysteria, now replaced by nerve-preserving clitoroplasty.
Clitoris
The clitoris is the nerve-rich erectile organ of female sexual pleasure, mostly internal, with about 10,000 nerves and its full structure mapped by MRI in 1998.
Clitoromegaly
Clitoromegaly (enlarged clitoris, clitoral hypertrophy) is congenital or acquired clitoral enlargement, most often from androgen excess due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia, DSDs, ovarian or adrenal tumors, or hormone exposure; distinguished from transient neonatal preputial edema.
