(v. i.) To act together; to work in concert; to unite.
Example Sentences:
(1) In Experiment 1, subjects performing in groups of four were compared with individual performers both in competing and noncompeting (coacting) conditions.
(2) Analysis of variance revealed that, as hypothesized, Ss who coacted in groups of three and who had the responsibility for their behavior removed delivered noxious (but not helpful) stimuli more impulsively than Ss who worked alone and were made to feel responsible (p less than .01).
(3) The results indicate a parallel induction of de novo synthesis of reductase and CHS which coact in synthesis of 6'-deoxychalcone.
(4) Interaction is viewed as a series of four possible dyadic states: quiescent, infant alone, mother alone, and coacting.
(5) The reduction in working capacity was caused by a number of coacting factors, inactivity, reduced lung function and small stroke volume.
Coarct
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Coarctate
Example Sentences:
(1) Patch graft aortoplasty, rather than resection of the coarcted segment was the operation of choice in forty-six patients.
(2) Our data suggest that balloon angioplasty is a safe and effective method in relief of the stenosis by congenital membranous aortic coarctation and postoperative restenosis of the coarcted aorta.
(3) In general, magnitudes of abnormalities were similar in Goldblatt and coarcted rats.
(4) To investigate the relation of pressure and vascular wall thickening in hypertension, we coarcted the abdominal aorta upstream to the renal arteries in 14 rats.
(5) Associated cardiac decompensation and inability to profile the coarct segment due to overlap by surrounding dilated blood vessels were responsible for the unsuccessful examinations.
(6) But after bilateral autotransplantation of the kidneys into the iliac fossa and a dacron lay-on graft over the coarcted region the arterial blood pressure returned to normal.
(7) were recorded at different times in coarcted and sham-coarcted rats.
(8) The diameter of the angiographically measured coarcted segment increased, the Doppler estimate of the pressure difference across the coarctation decreased, and the femoral pulses improved.
(9) The aortas of 10 rats (group A) were coarcted above the renal arteries to produce hypertension.
(10) Thus, the hindquarters of the coarcted rats remained normotensive.
(11) The coarcted IVC was exposed by transthoracic, transdiaphragmatic, retroperitoneal approach.
(12) Plasma renin concentration was elevated but to an insignificant degree in coarcted dogs, and renin substrate concentration was comparable with that of controls.
(13) In other experiments, proximal aortic segments (PS) (exposed to high pressure) and distal aortic segments (DS) (exposed to lower pressure) were removed from surgically coarcted Sprague-Dawley rats and similarly prepared.
(14) Tail, femoral, and carotid arterial pressures rose (p less than 0.01) in the two-kidney, one-clip hypertensives; only carotid pressure rose (p less than 0.01) in the coarcted rats, tail and femoral pressures remaining normal (p greater than 0.25).
(15) Carotid arterial pressure was elevated by day 5 in coarcted rats and remained elevated.
(16) Compared with sham-coarcted rats, abdominal aorta, femoral arteries, and renal arterioles less than 61 microns outer diameter in rats with coarctation and Goldblatt hypertension had significantly increased (up to +100%) medial area, medial thickness, and medial thickness-to-lumen radius ratios.
(17) Renal arterioles greater than 60 microns outside diameter in Goldblatt hypertensive, but not coarcted, rats also were thickened.
(18) Even though IV-DSA is useful for the diagnosis of aortic coarctation, the surgeon must be aware of its pitfalls in assessing the calibre and length of the coarct segment.
(19) Four weeks after clipping, carotid pressure was significantly elevated in coarcted compared with sham-coarcted rats, but femoral pressure was not.
(20) For example, in coarcted S rats wall area after nitroprusside was elevated by 24%, 39%, and 37% in third-, fourth-, and fifth-order arterioles (p less than 0.01).
