X-ray Techs
If you have ever said, "Turn off the lights! I can't see!", you might be an x-ray tech - SomeEcards.com
X-rays
It is easy and accurate to refer to an X-ray as a plain film, plain radiograph conventional X-ray, routine X-ray etc, however, these terms, understate the skill and the value of that image and what the image can reveal - Helene Pavlov MD
Xanax (Alprazolam)
The crack [cocaine] of the benzodiazepines - Andrea Tone
Xenon Anesthesia
The ‘noble’ gas xenon possesses numerous salubrious qualities which are currently underutilized in the world of clinical medicine; most notably in the field of anaesthesia - Robert D. Sanders
Xenotransplantation
Xenotransplantation — putting animal organs into humans — is a centuries’ old idea that has been revived at multiple times throughout history as technological advances offer new hope of overcoming what has seemed like a never-ending parade of scientific hurdles - Megan Molteni
Xerostomia
Once considered an inevitable part of the aging process, xerostomia is now associated with hundreds of medications and numerous nonpharmacologic conditions, including some cancer treatment regimens - Diana Lamoreux
Xofluza
In terms of symptom relief, there isn’t much difference. In the clinical trials of adults and adolescents, Xofluza alleviated symptoms about as quickly as Tamiflu. But the latter drug requires a bigger commitment from a patient: a twice-daily dose for five days, compared with Xofluza’s one dose - Aimee Cunningham
Xylazine
The drug exists in a legal gray zone. Approved 50 years ago by the F.D.A. as a veterinarian-prescribed analgesic, it is not listed as a controlled substance for animals or humans and so is not subject to strict monitoring. Thus, it has not been on the radar of federal law enforcement for diversion or abuse - Jan Hoffman
Xylitol
Xylitol is truly the darling of sugar substitutes today. The American Dietetic Association touts its use, with this sugar alcohol sold alone and as a sweetener in a variety of processed foods - Sarah Pope
