What's the difference between decorticate and decorticated?

Decorticate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To divest of the bark, husk, or exterior coating; to husk; to peel; to hull.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The length of the interpulse interval for LH release secretion decreased in unilateral decorticate animals, whereas the length of the cycle of FSH secretion increased in this circumstance.
  • (2) The decortication is aimed at removing the chronic pleural sack and the possible parenchymatous lesions and at the recovery of the maximum functional pulmonary parenchyma.
  • (3) Following chronic decortication of the dLGN, the distribution pattern of both GABAergic axonal types had changed considerably.
  • (4) The technique requires only three major steps: (1) decortication limited to the parietal sides of the peel's sac, (2) cleansing the empyemic cavity, and (3) drainage.
  • (5) In decorticate and in spinal curarized rabbit preparations, respiratory and locomotor rhythms can be closely related (1:1 coupling between successive periods), demonstrating central relationships between the two types of pattern generators.
  • (6) Our procedure is indicated in patients for whom it is thought simple decortication will not lead to primary cure of empyema.
  • (7) Total ventilatory and perfusion percentage increased significantly in the decorticated lung (p less than 0.001 and p less than 0.005, respectively).
  • (8) Non-sulfated CCK-8 also stimulated the motility, particularly in the decorticated rats.
  • (9) One cat, in which decortication was performed and resulted in marked reexpansion of the lung lobes, died 4 hours after surgery with signs compatible with pulmonary edema.
  • (10) The presence of anaerobic bacteria in 8 of 22 children (36%) was associated with rapid organization of the empyema and the need for decortication.
  • (11) Decortication, that is excision of both the visceral and parietal pleura, has become a rarely performed operation.
  • (12) A protocol of echocardiographic surveillance of the left main coronary artery has been instituted in these patients to detect any late postoperative changes after ostial decortication.
  • (13) One and a half years later, the patient shows decorticated posture with ataxic respiration and negative light reflexes.
  • (14) From early stimulation, decortication and transection studies (see Ref.
  • (15) The most serious complication was a case of hemothorax which required later pulmonary decortication.
  • (16) The external fixators were applied after decortication and bone grafting either immediately in cases with no evidence of infection or later in cases of draining, infected wounds.
  • (17) When all other measures failed, thoracotomy with pleural decortication was done.
  • (18) The average time of hospitalization was for the debrided cases 13.6 days and for the decortication group 19.6 days.
  • (19) Surgical procedures included lobectomy (n = 317), pneumonectomy (n = 41), wedge resection (n = 82), resections of blebs or bullae (n = 17), thoracotomy and biopsy for unresectable lesion (n = 6), and decortication (n = 5).
  • (20) Some changes of the organization of cortical motor representations, which were revealed by means of the intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) in aged rats after unilateral partial decortication, were true consequences of the decortication, but had no significant relationship to the aging.
