Eval
Definition:
(a.) Relating to time or duration.
Example Sentences:

(2) Filtration of beta 2m across the dialyzer was absent with CU and minimal with EVAL.
(3) The authors report three cases of arteriovenous malformations (AVM's) with aneurysms arising from the feeding artery; all were successfully treated with a new nonadhesive liquid embolic material, ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVAL).
