Dacryostenosis is a type of congenital anomaly of the lacrimal system, occurring when the nasolacrimal duct or the lacrimal gland does not develop properly during fetal development. This condition can result in a blocked tear duct, leading to tearing, eye discharge, and possible infection.
Dactinomycin is a type of antibiotic that is used to treat certain types of cancer, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia and rhabdomyosarcoma. It is also used to treatbrain tumors and other types of cancer that have not responded to other treatments. Dactinomycin works by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells by blocking the action of an enzyme called RNA polymerase, which is necessary for the synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA).
A dactyl is a type of poetic foot in which one stressed syllable is followed by two unstressed syllables. It is a unit of meter in poetry, often used in iambic and anapestic verse.
