Circumferential
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the circumference; encompassing; encircling; circuitous.
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.
