Cadaveric


Definition:

  • (a.) Of, pertaining to, or resembling, a corpse, or the changes produced by death; cadaverous; as, cadaveric rigidity.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In 2 patients who had received cadaveric renal allograft, ureteral obstruction was detected six and one-half and five and one-half years after transplantation.
  • (2) Since all human cadaveric tissue is fixed whilst on the skeleton, we may assume that shrinkage of the muscles in such specimens is negligible.
  • (3) A total of 50 patients received a cadaveric renal transplant followed by immunosuppression with triple therapy.
  • (4) Graft survival for recipients of kidneys from LUDs is similar to that from zero haplotype-matched LRDs and is at least as good as that achieved with cadaveric transplants.
  • (5) Few patients who are infected with HIV or who have AIDS have had renal transplantation, although unsuspected viral infection of cadaveric organs remains a concern.
  • (6) During 1991, at least 1 kidney per donor was recovered from 94% of cadaveric donors.
  • (7) The need for cadaveric organs for transplantation is increasing.
  • (8) Primary cadaveric graft survival was 72 and 42% at 1 and 3 years respectively; although since 1985 1 year graft survival has risen to 90%.
  • (9) There was no significant difference in the incidence of noncompliance with respect to cadaveric vs. living-related donor kidney source, or in male vs. female patients.
  • (10) The availability of cryopreservation and low temperature storage techniques for cadaveric allograft skin allows it to be preserved while microbial assessments are made before its use as a temporary biological dressing on burn wounds.
  • (11) A radiologic-pathologic correlative investigation of the normal age-related alterations in the spinous processes and intervening soft tissues was performed using cadaveric spines and both ancient and modern macerated vertebral specimens.
  • (12) As several authors stated within the last few years and according to our experience as well cadaveric kidneys of young children are suitable for transplantation.
  • (13) Two cadaveric and 3 kidneys from living relatives were transplanted.
  • (14) Hypertension, which was noted in 47% of the outpatients, occurred with greater frequency following renal transplantation from cadaveric donors and was associated with a decline in renal function.
  • (15) The changes in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were studied in four adult patients after cadaveric renal transplantation.
  • (16) On thirty cadaveric dissections, we studied the so-called "phreno-gastric" ligament.
  • (17) High doses of furosemide did not prevent significant acute tubular necrosis following human cadaveric kidney transplantation when the recipients also received infusions of mannitol.
  • (18) The use of mixed-lymphocyte cultures as a routine in selecting suitable donors in living related transplants and, retrospectively, in monitoring the results of cadaveric transplants, is advocated.
  • (19) To lend clarity to this discrepancy, we collected 40 serum samples before and after blood transfusion therapy of first-time cadaveric renal allograft recipients and evaluated each for T cell and B cell cytotoxic antibodies using an Amos modified complement-dependent microlymphocytotoxicity assay.
  • (20) Biomechanical properties of the six major lumbar spine ligaments were determined from 38 fresh human cadaveric subjects for direct incorporation into mathematical and finite element models.

Ptomaine


Definition:

  • (n.) One of a class of animal bases or alkaloids formed in the putrefaction of various kinds of albuminous matter, and closely related to the vegetable alkaloids; a cadaveric poison. The ptomaines, as a class, have their origin in dead matter, by which they are to be distinguished from the leucomaines.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) During the 19th century, the early biochemical and bacteriologic studies lent credence to the idea of ptomaine poisoning--that degradation of protein in the colon by anerobic bacteria generated toxic amines.
  • (2) The image had its roots in a physical purging that Sylvia experienced as a result of ptomaine poisoning that she had contracted on 16 June, during a lunch at an advertising agency.
  • (3) Attempts are reaching from the STAS' isolation procedure through the ptomaines to our chromatographical epoche, to phenomenologically compensate the matrix effects--increasing in the course of putrefaction--by the determination and generalisation of according analytical signals.
