RE: Pipette
Pipette helps reduce complications and unplanned readmissions after surgeries. Today preventable readmissions burden the health care system with an extra 4.4 million hospital stays and cost billion a year. Our mobile application automatically monitors and educates patients during their recovery. Pipette uses proprietary algorithms to enable early intervention by detecting harmful patterns and outliers.

RE: Parapodium
A parapodium is a lateral, paired appendage found in some marine annelid worms, specifically in polychaetes. It is used primarily for locomotion but also serves in respiration and sensing the environment. It can vary greatly in structure but typically consists of a proximal segment attached to the body and a distal segmented branch.

RE: tubal pregnancy
A tubal pregnancy, also known as an ectopic pregnancy, is a condition where the fertilized egg implants itself and grows in the fallopian tubes instead of in the uterus. It is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention as it can cause internal bleeding, infection, and damage to the tube, and it is not viable for the fetus. It generally occurs in the first few weeks of pregnancy.

RE: litchi chinensis
Lychee (US: LEE-chee; UK: LIE-chee; Litchi chinensis; Chinese: 荔枝; pinyin: lìzhī; Jyutping: lai6 zi1; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: nāi-chi) is a monotypic taxon and the sole member in the genus Litchi in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae.
It is a tropical tree native to China (Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, and Hainan), India (Assam and the Andaman Islands), Bangladesh, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia (including Borneo), Indonesia (Java, Borneo, and Western New Guinea), the Philippines, and Papua New Guinea. The tree has been introduced into Pakistan, Cambodia, Bangladesh, the Eastern Himalayas, Mauritius, and Réunion. Cultivation in China is documented from the 11th century. China is the main producer of lychees, followed by Vietnam, India, other countries in Southeast Asia, other countries in the Indian subcontinent, Madagascar, and South Africa. A tall evergreen tree, the lychee bears small fleshy fruits. The outside of the fruit is pink-red, roughly textured, and inedible, covering sweet flesh eaten in many different dessert dishes.
Lychee seeds contain methylene cyclopropyl glycine which can cause hypoglycemia associated with outbreaks of encephalopathy in undernourished Indian and Vietnamese children who had consumed lychee fruit. -

RE: moneylender
A moneylender is an individual or group who offers small personal loans at high rates of interest.
