D000368	Aged	A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available.	Elderly
D001015	Aortic Arch Syndromes	Conditions resulting from abnormalities in the arteries branching from the ASCENDING AORTA, the curved portion of the aorta. These syndromes are results of occlusion or abnormal blood flow to the head-neck or arm region leading to neurological defects and weakness in an arm. These syndromes are associated with vascular malformations; ATHEROSCLEROSIS; TRAUMA; and blood clots.	Aortic Arch Syndrome,Syndrome, Aortic Arch,Syndromes, Aortic Arch
D001706	Biopsy	Removal and pathologic examination of specimens from the living body.	Biopsies
D013699	Temporal Arteries	Arteries arising from the external carotid or the maxillary artery and distributing to the temporal region.	Arteries, Temporal,Artery, Temporal,Temporal Artery
D013700	Giant Cell Arteritis	A systemic autoimmune disorder that typically affects medium and large ARTERIES, usually leading to occlusive granulomatous vasculitis with transmural infiltrate containing multinucleated GIANT CELLS. The TEMPORAL ARTERY is commonly involved. This disorder appears primarily in people over the age of 50. Symptoms include FEVER; FATIGUE; HEADACHE; visual impairment; pain in the jaw and tongue; and aggravation of pain by cold temperatures.
