EIRA trial
EIRA trial (NCT03136211): Spanish cluster-randomised hybrid type 2 trial in 25 primary care centres, 3062 adults 45-75, testing a Transtheoretical Model multiple health behaviour change intervention for smoking, diet, and physical activity versus usual care.
Eisenia fetida
Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826), the red wiggler or tiger worm, is an epigeic lumbricid earthworm used for vermicomposting and OECD 222 ecotoxicology tests; its sibling species Eisenia andrei is nearly identical, and DNA barcoding is needed to tell them apart.
Eisenmenger syndrome
Eisenmenger syndrome, also called Eisenmenger complex, is advanced pulmonary arterial hypertension with congenital heart disease in which a shunt reverses to right-to-left flow, causing cyanosis, erythrocytosis, and reduced survival; shunt closure is contraindicated.
Eisosome component PIL1/LSP1
PIL1 and LSP1 encode the paralogous BAR-domain proteins Pil1 and Lsp1 that form the core of eisosomes, immobile furrow-associated plasma membrane domains in fungi; Pil1 is essential for eisosome assembly while Lsp1 is not.
Eisosome protein SEG1/2
Seg1 (YMR086W) and Seg2 (YKL105C) are coiled-coil eisosome proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Seg1 precedes Pil1 in eisosome assembly and controls eisosome length, while Seg2 is a minor component.

Ejaculation
Ejaculation, also called seminal emission and expulsion, is the ejection of semen through the urethra in two phases: sympathetic emission (T10–L3) and pudendal-driven expulsion. Covers normal ranges, PE, retrograde ejaculation, anejaculation, and treatments.
Ejaculatory duct
Ejaculatory duct: paired ~2 cm tubes formed by union of the seminal vesicle duct and vas deferens ampulla, passing through the prostate to the verumontanum; obstruction causes 1–5% of male infertility.
Ejaculatory dysfunctions
Ejaculatory dysfunctions (ICD-11 HA03) are male ejaculation disorders: premature (early) ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, anejaculation, and retrograde ejaculation, with guideline-based diagnosis and treatment from AUA/SMSNA and EAU.
Ejection fraction
Ejection fraction (EF), or LVEF, is the percentage of left ventricular blood volume ejected per heartbeat; normal 55–70%. It classifies heart failure as reduced, preserved, or improved EF, with 2026 guidelines simplifying categories.
