(n.) A narrow band or fillet; a part of a head-dress.
Example Sentences:
(1) The stress is made on the latest one combining advancement of the orbito-frontal "bandeau" and the regularization of the vault.
(2) The bandeau or brow is the key architectural component of craniofacial reconstruction.
(3) Specific surgical procedures are described and evaluated including the method of removing an unsuitable, unusable bandeau, fashioning a new one from a strip of parietal cranial bone, and repositioning it.
(4) Reconstructing the proper balance and harmony of the face begins with the manipulation and positioning of the bandeau.
(5) The advantages of the bilateral lamellar split bandeau are discussed.
(6) The good long term results obtained following the remodeling of the frontal bandeau in craniosynostosis have demonstrated the viability of large bony segments following total periosteal stripping.
(7) This technique could be used in any procedure in which a frontal bandeau is advanced and the forehead needs to be remodeled.
Circumferentially
Definition:
(adv.) So as to surround or encircle.
Example Sentences:
(1) Incubation of the platelets for intervals of 30 to 60 minutes with the microtubule-stabilizing agent taxol preserved the circumferential bundle after extraction with Triton X-100 even after washing five times.
(2) However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups for ejection fraction, velocity of circumferential fiber shortening, percent fractional shortening, systolic time intervals, wall stress and ratio of wall stress-systolic volume.
(3) The circumferential stress in the vessel wall was greatly increased by diabetes; great errors will result if the opening angle is ignored.
(4) The M angle correlates significantly with invasive (final diastolic pressure in the left ventricle, ejection fraction) and with non-invasive (top speed of shortening of the circumferential fibre) indicators of left ventricular function.
(5) Fatale haemoptysis occurred as a result of circumferential caustic erosion to the right intermediate bronchus caused by a tablet of ferrous sulphate which remained in contact for 4 days.
(6) The progressive replacement occurs in a circumferential pattern, but most heavily at the bone-prosthesis interface.
(7) This dual tissue response accomplishes substantial reductions in the circumferential and longitudinal stresses from the levels that would be reached at equivalent pressures in the absence of these geometric changes.
(8) In this system the arteries and veins run parallel to each other throughout the uterus except for the inner circumferential plexus to which veins are predominantly distributed.
(9) We evaluated systolic time intervals (pre-ejection period and ventricular ejection time), M-mode parameters (fractional shortening and mean circumferential shortening) and Doppler flow velocities (mean peak velocity of aortic and pulmonary arteries) of left and right ventricles.
(10) Thus, the circumferential extent of hypokinesis in patients with acute myocardial infarction is greater for proximal than mid- or distal occlusions of the left anterior descending but not the right coronary artery.
(11) The relationship between velocity of circumferential fiber shortening and wall stress was similar in both groups before ECMO, during ECMO, and after hydralazine administration.
(12) The advantage of circumferential resection and some technical aspects are discussed.
(13) Trans-, long- and short-axial images were interpreted quantitatively by circumferential profile analysis, and the extent of fibrotic tissue (%FIB) was estimated by integrating hypoperfused areas in six to eight consecutive short-axial slices.
(14) In addition, multiple simultaneous recordings of the electrical activities from each muscle layer were obtained showing that within the circular muscle layer electrical oscillations were phase locked in the circumferential direction and along the long axis of the colon.
(15) Barium studies revealed the diaphragm as a persistent, circumferential defect in the distal antrum, often associated with peptic ulcers or gastric outlet obstruction.
(16) Similarly, the largest strains are radial to facilitate the formation of a large coaptation area, while the circumferential strains are explained by the extension to the crimped collagen fibres.
(17) Although most filaments were outside the circumferential band of microtubules and the cisternae of the open canalicular system, individual filaments dipped down into the cytoplasm and were found between the microtubules and in association with other membranes.
(18) Intraoperative end-systolic meridional and circumferential stresses fell significantly in patients with aortic stenosis but remained unchanged in those with aortic regurgitation.
(19) Endoscopic laser therapy is concluded to provide rapid, safe and excellent control of local symptoms in most patients with inoperable colorectal carcinoma, to be less useful when the tumour is large and circumferential and not effective in patients with incontinence.
(20) By 15 days, a dense accumulation of blastema cells is present beneath the apical cap, and these cells are preferentially oriented in a circumferential direction.
