Diurnal


Definition:

  • (a.) Relating to the daytime; belonging to the period of daylight, distinguished from the night; -- opposed to nocturnal; as, diurnal heat; diurnal hours.
  • (a.) Daily; recurring every day; performed in a day; going through its changes in a day; constituting the measure of a day; as, a diurnal fever; a diurnal task; diurnal aberration, or diurnal parallax; the diurnal revolution of the earth.
  • (a.) Opening during the day, and closing at night; -- said of flowers or leaves.
  • (a.) Active by day; -- applied especially to the eagles and hawks among raptorial birds, and to butterflies (Diurna) among insects.
  • (a.) A daybook; a journal.
  • (a.) A small volume containing the daily service for the "little hours," viz., prime, tierce, sext, nones, vespers, and compline.
  • (a.) A diurnal bird or insect.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Four of 18 patients showed no change over the twenty-four hours while 7 patients showed some variation without definite diurnal pattern.
  • (2) The amount of EB or progesterone injected seemed unimportant but, in either case, had to be given within a limited diurnal period of sensitivity.
  • (3) Seven days of constant light, however, reverses this diurnal variation such that plasma prolactin levels peak at 11:30 AM and reach a nadir at approximately 11:30 PM.
  • (4) Study of the clinical characteristics of depressive state by hemisphere stroke with the use of symptom items of Zung scale and Hamilton scale showed that patients in depressive state with right hemisphere stroke had high values in symptom items considered close to the essence of endogenous depression such as depressed mood, suicide, diurnal variation, loss of weight, and paranoid symptoms, while patients in depressive state with left hemisphere stroke had high values in symptom items having a nuance of so-called neurotic depression such as psychic anxiety, hypochondriasis, and fatigue.
  • (5) Intraocular pressure was investigated with multiple 12-hour diurnal curves.
  • (6) The purpose of this study was to examine the pattern of diurnal variation of blood pressure in normotensive working women, and to assess the effect of work stress on this pattern.
  • (7) In order to clarify the diurnal pattern of secretion of plasma immunoreactive (IR) proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides, IR-N-terminal peptide (Nt), IR-beta-endorphin (Ep), IR-beta-lipotropin (LPH), and IR-ACTH (ACTH) in normal subjects and in patients with Addison's disease and Cushing's disease, we measured these 4 peptides in the same plasma obtained at 0900 h and then every three hours until 0600 h at the next day.
  • (8) When administered to adult patients with urge incontinence (generally as a 25mg twice-daily dose) terodiline reduces diurnal and nocturnal micturition frequency and incontinence episodes.
