(9) Coronary revascularization with high baseline pulmonary vascular resistance (greater than 200 dyne s cm-5).
(10) These changes usually coincided with an increase in osmiophilic inclusion bodies in the large alveolar cell.A concentration of disaturated phosphatidyl choline per milligram DNA in excess of 0.170 mg per mg was associated with a minimal surface tension below 13 dynes per cm (p < 0.001).
(11) Mean arterial pressure ranged from 40 to 65 mm Hg while systemic vascular resistance varied widely, averaging 1575 dyne-sec-cm(-5).
(12) None of the patients with poor ventricular performance had a peak isovolumic rate of change of power that exceeded 25,000 dynes cm sec-2.
(13) The adiabatic compressibility of oxidized thioredoxin was also much larger (9.8-18 x 10(-12) cm2 dyne-1) than that of the reduced protein (3.8-7.3 x 10(-12)).
(14) At 14 to 28 weeks, the surface-active fraction from lung gave a minimum surface tension of 18.1 dynes per centimeter and 7.0 dynes per centimeter by 4 days after birth.
(15) Statistical analysis of the hemodynamic variables revealed that the responders (group 1) had a significant decrease in the pulmonary vascular resistance from 250 dynes second cm-5 at baseline to 155 dynes second cm-5 at 15 minutes after sublingual nifedipine (p less than .05 and 135 dynes second cm-5 at 24 hours while on oral nifedipine.

(17) The approach used in this study involved the application of Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) to the analysis of samples taken from the Chem-Dyne remedial action hazardous waste site.
(18) The force required to separate the F1-JY pair is 1.5 X 10(4) dynes per square centimeter.
(19) Linear regression analysis revealed a close relationship between changes in distal coronary pressure (delta DCP) and those in resistance of the stenotic coronary segment (delta RL) represented by the following equation; delta RL (dyne X cm-5 X sec X 10(-3)) = 0.50 X [delta DCP (mmHg)]-6.0 X 10(-2), r = 0.86, p less than 0.01.

Example Sentences:
(1) Earlier, in scenes that evoked Singapore’s colonial past, Lee’s coffin stopped in front of the complex’s main building, where British administrators once worked, as a piper from Singapore’s Gurkha Contingent – the city-state’s special guard force – played Auld Lang Syne.
(2) 8.30am GMT Preamble Hello and welcome to coverage of Jim White Day which, with any luck, will see him suffer the same fate as Frasier Crane on Frasier Crane Day, stuck in a tube overlooking Sky Towers while someone else leads the rendition of Auld Lang Syne or whatever else it is we're supposed to be doing at 11pm tonight.
