D9-trans-tetrahydrocanabinol is commonly referred to as D9-THC.  The D9 stands for delta 9 (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol).  The words alpha, delta, etc. are used to denote specific isomers of the same compound.  In this case also, D9-THC refers to an isomer of the same compound C21 H30 O2 . The chemical name is (−)-(6aR,10aR)-\n6,6,9-trimethyl-3-pentyl-\n6a,7,8,10a-tetrahydro-\n6H-benzo[c]chromen-1-ol.

TIBC stands for Total Iron Binding Capacity. This is a way of testing for anemia. A higher than normal TIBC may be an indicator for iron deficiancy anemia. A lower than normal TIBC may indicate several things including cirrhosis, hemolytic anemia (premature destruction of red blood cells), pernicious anemia (a complicated set of events where B12 is not absorbed properly-B12 is important in the formation of red blood cells), and malnutrition. \n\nplz check this article\nhttp://www.kfshrc.edu.sa/annals/211_212/00-046.htm\n\nTotal iron binding capacity \nDefinition    \nThis is a blood test that measures the total iron binding capacity (TIBC) as an indirect measure of transferrin.\nHow the test is performed    \nBlood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The puncture site is cleaned with antiseptic, and an elastic band is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and restrict blood flow through the vein. This causes veins below the band to fill with blood.\nA needle is inserted into the vein, and the blood is collected in an air-tight vial or a syringe. During the procedure, the band is removed to restore circulation. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.\nFor an infant or young child:\nThe area is cleansed with antiseptic and punctured with a sharp needle or a lancet. The blood may be collected in a pipette (small glass tube), on a slide, onto a test strip, or into a small container. Cotton or a bandage may be applied to the puncture site if there is any continued bleeding.\nHow to prepare for the test    \nFast for 8 hours before the test.\nFor infants and children:\nThe preparation you can provide for this test depends on your child's age, previous experiences, and level of trust. For specific information regarding how you can prepare your child, see the following topics:\n•infant test or procedure preparation (birth to 1 year) \n•toddler test or procedure preparation (1 to 3 years) \n•preschooler test or procedure preparation (3 to 6 years) \n•schoolage test or procedure preparation (6 to 12 years) \n•adolescent test or procedure preparation (12 to 18 years) \nHow the test will feel    \nWhen the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.\nWhy the test is performed    \nThis test is usually performed when iron deficiency is suspected as a cause of anemia.\nAbout 65% of the iron in the body is carried in hemoglobin (in the red blood cells) and about 4% in myoglobin (in skeletal muscle). About 30% of the iron in the body is stored as a substance called ferritin in the liver, bone marrow, and spleen. A small percentage of the body's iron is in transport, as part of a molecule called transferrin, traveling between various parts of the body via the blood stream.\nA serum iron test actually measures the amount of iron in transferrin. Each transferrin molecule can carry 2 iron atoms, and normally, about 30% of the available "spaces" for iron are filled. By artificially filling up all the available spaces, doctors can measure the total iron binding capacity, or TIBC, of your blood. TIBC is usually higher-than-normal when the body's iron stores are low.\nNormal Values    \n•iron: 60-170 mcg/dl \n•TIBC: 240-450 mcg/dl \n•transferrin saturation: 20-50% \nNote: mcg/dl = micrograms per deciliter \nWhat abnormal results mean    \nHigher-than-normal TIBC may indicate:\n•iron deficiency anemia \n•pregnancy (late) \nLower-than-normal TIBC may indicate: \n•cirrhosis \n•hemolytic anemia \n•hypoproteinemia \n•pernicious anemia \n•sickle cell anemia \n•inflammation \n•malnutrition \n•liver disease \nAdditional conditions under which the test may be performed: \n•anemia of chronic disease \nWhat the risks are    \nRisks associated with having blood d

Basically, OTs, COAs, COTs, and any other similar credentials means one thing.  They are kind of like eye nurses.  OT stands for ophthalmic technician.  COA stands for certified ophthalmic assistant.  I am an ophthalmic assitant, OA.  Depending upon the practice, these people have different duties.  In my practice, the techs do whatever the doctor needs.  In reference to low vision, I suppose the tech might have a say in the type of services you may need, with the doctor having last say.  They may teach the patient how to use devices, or simply be there to answer questions.  These people assist the doctor in exams as well.  SO basically, they are there to take care of you and address any questions or problems you might have, don't be afraid to ask, worse case scenario is that they will not know, and then they will ask the doctor!

The ratio of the Head Circumference to Abdominal circumference (HC/AC) is used to identify asymmetric growth retardation, and when HC/AC is increased, nutritional growth retardation should be suspected. \n\nThe abdominal circumference (AC) also changes in diabetic macrosomia, where elevated blood glucose levels lead to increased metabolic storage, increased AC, and decreased HC/AC.
