(n.) Something rising in a conical shape; specifically, a hill rising to a point.
Example Sentences:
(1) Unconjugated bilirubin is only toxic, when it is not coppled to albumin.
(2) COPpl was reduced about 50% during ECC returned to pre-ECC level within the first 6 hours postoperatively.
(3) COPpl concomitantly fell from 22.2 to 14.4 and COPif from 12.4 to 10.1 mmHg.
(4) Colloid osmotic pressure was measured in wick interstitial fluid (COPif) and plasma (COPpl) with an osmometer.
(5) The intra- and postoperative variations of the transcapillary forces [colloid osmotic pressure of plasma (COPpl), colloid osmotic pressure of interstitial fluid (COPif), average hydrostatic pressure in the interstitium (Pif)] were studied in the subcutaneous tissue as a function of time in 13 patients operated on for coronary artery disease using extra-corporeal circulation (ECC).
(6) Although the relatively large COPpl drop resulted in a net rise of 3.2 mmHg in filtration pressure, the incidence of pulmonary complications was low and no subcutaneous edema was discernible.
(7) The COPpl was also significantly reduced in patients compared to controls.
(8) Interstitial fluid pressure (Pif), plasma- and interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressures (COPpl, COPif) were measured in muscle compartments of the calf in lower limbs of patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and in contralateral limbs.
(9) Preoperatively no intergroup differences were observed in "the Starling forces" (COPpl, COPif, Pif).
(10) At the start of extracorporeal circulation COPpl was significantly lower in the TEA-group than in controls.
(11) During extracorporeal circulation the transcapillary COP-gradient (COPpl-COPif) was reversed in both groups.
(12) COPpl was measured in a blood sample collected from a cubital vein.
(13) During ECC COPif was higher than COPpl, reaching its minimum level 4 to 5 hours postoperatively.
(14) Colloid osmotic pressure in plasma (COPpl) from a cubital vein and in interstitial fluid (COPif) in the subcutaneous tissue at heart level, and interstitial fluid pressure (Pif) at the same level, were measured in 18 healthy subjects and in 28 patients requiring aortocoronary bypass.
(15) Measurements performed following ECC showed return of the transcapillary COP-gradient to the normal direction (COPpl greater than COPif).
(16) Simultaneously plasma colloid osmotic pressure (COPpl) was recorded.
Hopple
Definition:
(v. t.) To impede by a hopple; to tie the feet of (a horse or a cow) loosely together; to hamper; to hobble; as, to hopple an unruly or straying horse.
(v. t.) Fig.: To entangle; to hamper.
(n.) A fetter for horses, or cattle, when turned out to graze; -- chiefly used in the plural.
Example Sentences:
(1) The attackers believed Hopples’ camp had stolen, killed and eaten a cow.
(2) According to Indigenous belief, Mick Rhatigan, a former policeman and linesman, and his two Aboriginal workers, Joe Wynn and Nipper, attacked the camp of another black man, Hopples, and shot dead eight occupants.
(3) According to the non-Indigenous story, neither Rhatigan nor any other white man was involved, and the killings resulted from a dispute that began when Hopples stole Wynn’s wife.
