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.
Dactylia refers to small, finger-like projections or appendages. Specifically, in botany, dactylia are small floral structures that are similar to stamens and resemble fingers or fingers-like appendages.

Dactyliology is the study of fingerprints and the identification of individuals through finger marks. It deals with the classification, examination, and comparison of fingerprints to establish the identity of a person.
Dactyliomancy is a form of divination that involves using a ring or other circular object to predict the future. It is also known as ring divination or ring reading. In this practice, the diviner will typically turn the ring rapidly and then stop it with their finger, allowing the ring to come to rest in a new position. The diviner will then interpret the position of the ring to gain insight into the past, present, or future.
