(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.

(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.
