Femoral
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the femur or thigh; as, the femoral artery.

(13) Time until death, total volume of air infused, femoral arterial pressure, central venous pressure, and ECG (Lead II) were recorded.
(14) US clearly images the cartilaginous femoral head and enables accurate assessment of hip size, shape, and symmetry.
(15) In previous reports, bone grafting of the posterior defect in the femoral neck through an open approach has achieved good results.

(17) The authors decided to keep in this series only hips presenting with a very considerable upward displacement of the femoral head of type IV in Crowe, Maini and Ranawat's classification.
(18) In fact the deep femoral artery represents an exceptional and privileged route for anastomosis that is capable of replacing almost perfectly an obstructed superficial femoral artery and also in a more limited way femoro-popliteal arteries with extensive obstructions.
(19) Failure was more likely with a subluxated, tilted, or excessively thick patella or flexed femoral component.
(20) 93 knees in 74 patients between 9 and 20 years of age were operated because of patello-femoral instability.
Merocele
Definition:
(n.) Hernia in the thigh; femoral hernia .
Example Sentences:
(1) Merocel intra-nasal pack are very effective in controlling epistaxis.
(2) Merocel and Lamicel are impregnated with magnesium sulfate providing for additional absorption of the fluid.
(3) The most widely used synthetic Laminaria are manufactured from the polyvinyl alcohol (Lamicel, Merocel) and hydrogel polymer (hypan and Dilapan).
(4) A prospective comparison of the microbiologic safety of Merocel versus NuGauze nasal packing in 119 surgical patients is presented.
(5) No statistically significant difference was found in symptoms of nasal obstruction or discomfort, findings of nasal crusting or adhesions, or postoperative bleeding, between nostrils packed with Merocel packs or those packed with glove fingers.
(6) Different forms of Merocel are very usefull in external otitis and after endonasal and middle ear surgery.
(7) Fingerstall packings gave less problems than either Merocel or hydrocortisone-terramycine gauze packs with ventilation tubes.

(9) The Merocel wrap for standard ETTs, which is made of synthetic surgical sponge and adhesive-backed metal foil, is rated Acceptable and protects against typical surgical levels of CO2 and KTP laser energy.
(10) To take samples, small sponges of Merocel are placed into the nostrils or external auditory canal, as indicated.
(11) An in vitro comparison of the ability of NuGauze and Merocel to amplify TSST-1 production was performed.
(12) A prospective trial, comparing Merocel nasal packs and glove finger packs is reported.
