Enantiopathy
Enantiopathy refers to the phenomenon in which a patient displays a divergent response to the administration of a racemic mixture of a drug, which contains an equal proportion of two enantiomers, instead of responding uniformly to one of the enantiomers alone. This occurs when one enantiomer is pharmacologically active, while the other enantiomer is pharmacologically inactive or produces an adverse effect. As a result, enantiopathy can lead to unpredictable and varied therapeutic outcomes, making it a significant challenge in drug development and clinical practice.
Enantiornithes
Enantiornithes is a group of extinct birds that lived during the Cretaceous period, around 100-65 million years ago. The name "enantiornithes" comes from the Greek words "enantis" meaning "opposite" and "ornithes" meaning "birds". This refers to the fact that the skeletons of these birds have an opposite or mirror-like arrangement of their element bones compared to modern birds.
Enantiornithine
Enantiornithine is a term used in paleontology to describe an extinct group of birds that lived during the Cretaceous period, around 100 to 65 million years ago. The name "enantiornithine" comes from the Greek words "enanti", meaning "opposite" or "counterpart", and "ornis", meaning "bird". This refers to the fact that these birds had a unique characteristic in which their left and right sides of their skeletons were mirror images of each other, a condition known as rotational symmetry. Enantiornithines were small to medium-sized birds with distinctive beaks and clawed wings. They were likely omnivores or insectivores and lived on land and in coastal areas.
Enantiosis
Enantiosis is a literary device that involves the juxtaposition of two contrasting ideas or concepts in order to highlight their differences and create a sense of balance or harmony.

Enantiostasis
Enantiostasis is a term in biology and chemistry that refers to a phenomenon where two or more substances or organisms are mirror images of each other, yet are non-superimposable.

Enantiostasis is often used to describe the relationship between optical isomers, which are molecules that differ only in the arrangement of their atoms in space.

The term comes from the Greek words "enarthros" meaning "joint" and "odial" meaning " socket".
Enarthrosis
Enarthrosis is a term used in anatomy to describe a type of joint where the ends of two bones are connected in a way that allows for circular motion, such as the shoulder joint. In contrast to synovial joints, which allow for linear motion, enarthrosis joints enable a range of motion that includes rotation, flexion, and extension. This type of joint allows for a wide range of movements, such as rolling, gliding, and spinning, which is essential for functions like lifting, throwing, and rotating the arm.
Enasidenib
Enasidenib is a prescription medication used to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It is an oral medication that works by inhibiting an enzyme called IDH2, which is mutated in certain cases of AML and MDS. Enasidenib helps to reduce the symptoms associated with these conditions, such as anemia, bleeding, and fatigue.
