Definition:

  • (n.) A nodule of stone, containing a cavity, lined with crystals or mineral matter.
  • (n.) The cavity in such a nodule.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Subchondral cyst formation (geode) is a not uncommon manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis which may at times impede correct radiologic interpretation.
  • (3) In the appendicular skeleton abnormalities include: well-defined lytic areas (geodes), pathologic fractures, marginal erosions, and periarticular soft tissue swelling.
  • (4) Voluminous geodes affecting one or more of the bone of the wrist were present in 20 percent of the patients with ACC and in 5 percent of the controls.
  • (5) The term geode, rather than cyst or pseudocyst, may be a more appropriate decription of these lesions.
  • (6) Tolypocladium geodes strain NC50 was transformed by different integrating vectors bearing both a synthetic gene encoding human lysozyme (HLz) and the Sh ble phleomycin resistance marker, either in separate expression cassettes or in transcriptional or translational fusion configurations.
  • (7) In contrast to most of the commonly described techniques requiring prior preparation of protoplasts or spheroplasts, this method leads to high efficiency transformation of T. geodes conidiospores following moderate lytic enzyme treatment.
  • (8) Their precise natur remains hypothetical, in the absence of histological criteria, but it is possible at least for the bordered geodes, that they represent tiny centres of osteonecrosis.
  • (9) In 2 cases no classification could be assigned to isolated or predominant geodes of the femoral head in spite of anatomic examination.
  • (10) A "total geode score" was also obtained by scoring, separately, the geodes.
  • (11) The surgical treatment indicated is voiding and packing to a maximum the geodes possibly correcting the former increased pressure discordance.
  • (12) Radiological examinations showed 40 abnormal findings in 23 patients (28%): erosive arthropathies of fingers (4), and multiple geodes of the carpus (8), of the humeral head (7) or of the hip (9).
  • (13) Giant pseudocysts (geodes) are uncommon and are characteristically associated with extensive joint destruction.
  • (14) Those outbreaks with specific evolution bring about either an extension of the socket or the appearance of a new geode.

  • (16) Only 20 patients had severely erosive disease, which manifested as giant geodes in 8 cases and as main en lorgnette deformity in one case.
  • (17) All transformants from E. coli and most from T. geodes displayed beta Gal activity.
  • (18) Geodes should be studied more by their severity than by their frequency; this is high in the controls, which diminishes their specificity (45 for the wrist, 62 for the first carpo-metacarpal, and 75 for the first metacarpo-phalangeal joint).
  • (19) Geodes (3.7%), destructive lesions (3.9%), sclerosis (4%) and articular lesions (5.1%) are second in frequency.

Glode


Definition:

Example Sentences:
