Biforked


Definition:

  • (a.) Bifurcate.

Bifurcate


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Bifurcated
  • (v. i.) To divide into two branches.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) Pathogenetically, the delta formation may represent an intermediate stage in the bifurcation process of a polydactylic ray.
  • (4) DNA oligodeoxynucleotides have been synthesized that enable these hypotheses to be tested; of particular interest is the combination of effects due to bifurcation (2) and methylation of the pyrimidines nucleotides (3).
  • (5) To elucidate the mechanism of migration of vascular smooth-muscle cells (SMCs) from media to intima, we have investigated the phenotypic modulation of the medial SMC at bifurcation of the celiac artery in 5 children and 3 young persons using a transmission electron microscope.
  • (6) The diagnostic accuracy of 5 MHz continuous-wave (C-W) Doppler with spectral analysis for detecting carotid bifurcation disease was evaluated.
  • (7) Although the most common pattern is for the right coronary artery to bifurcate at the crux giving the posterior descending (posterior interventricular) artery, a branch may arise before the crux, either as an aberrant acute marginal artery or as an early posterior descending artery, crossing the diaphragmatic surface of the right ventricle.
  • (8) The optimal geometry of the vascular bifurcation is interpreted on the basis of the principle of minimum work.
  • (9) Platelet accumulation was significantly higher at arterial branching points, 70% higher at intercostal artery bifurcations, and 150% higher at coronary artery bifurcations than in unbranched aortic intima.
  • (10) Therefore, we believe the indications for femorofemoral graft should be broadened to include all patients with unilateral aortoiliac occlusive disease where anatomic conditions are favorable and there is unilateral occlusion of an aortic bifurcation graft.
