There are multiple definitions:
integrated circuit(English)
- aka chip
- Bioengineering
intentional control(English)
imprinting center(English)
- imprinted genes tend to be clustered in the genome, with most of them found under the control of discrete DNA elements called imprinting centres which are normally differentially methylated in the germline. They can regulate imprinted expression and epigenetic marks at many genes in the region, even those which lie several megabases away

interventional cardiologist(English)
inactive carrier(English)
- characterized by persistently normal serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and low (<2000 IU/ml) serum HBV DNA levels, a serological profile that may also be intermittently observed in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis. This is why a confirmed diagnosis of IC requires quarterly ALT and HBV DNA measurements for at least 1 year, while a single-point detection of combined HBsAg <1000 IU/ml and HBV DNA <2000 IU/ml has a robust predictive value for the diagnosis

immune checkpoint(English)
- has pivotal roles in regulating immune responses. The inhibitory ICs in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been implicated in the immune evasion of tumoral cells. Therefore, identifying and targeting these inhibitory ICs might be critical for eliminating tumoral cells

interstitial cystitis(English)
- a severe and debilitating chronic pain syndrome that afflicts the bladder. It is characterized by severe urinary frequency, urgency, and/or lower abdominal or perineal pain. Obsolete name, now as bladder pain syndrome

invasive candidiasis(English)
- timely diagnosis remains difficult as the clinical presentation is not specific and blood cultures lack sensitivity and need a long incubation time. Thus, non-culture-based methods for diagnosing have been developed, e.g. based on mannan antigen (Mn) and anti-mannan antibodies (A-Mn)

iridocyclitis(English)
- a subtype of anterior uveitis, referring to inflammation of the vascular layer of the eye, which includes the iris and ciliary body. Uveitis is an inflammation of the uvea (i.e., middle layer of the eye) and may be divided into anterior and posterior uveitis. Anterior uveitis includes iritis (i.e., inflammation of the iris) and cyclitis (i.e., inflammation of the ciliary body). When both are inflamed, it is known as iridocyclitis
