  • (20) In two exceptional patients with a prolonged PR interval, this apical sound was separated from a presystolic rumble that occurred during an accelerated phase of mitral inflow or at the A wave of mitral valve echograms.

Influent


Definition:

  • (a.) Flowing in.
  • (a.) Exerting influence; influential.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In isolated perfused rat liver, benzoate addition to the influent perfusate led to a dose-dependent, rapid and reversible stimulation of glutamate output from the liver.
  • (2) This results in an increasing oxygen difference between DO contents in the biofilter influent and effluent.
  • (3) Inhibition was half-maximal at sulfobromophthalein concentrations of approximately 1.2 mumol.l-1 in the influent perfusate and leukotriene uptake was inhibited by maximally 34%.
  • (4) In isolated perfused rat liver maximal rates of 2-[1-14C]oxoglutarate uptake were about 0.4 mumol.g-1 .min-1; half-maximal rates of 2-[14C]oxoglutarate uptake were observed with influent concentrations of about 100 microM.
  • (5) Because decreasing the pH of the influent perfusate increased carbon uptake, the pH gradient over the liver lobule may be involved in the regulation of particle uptake at the sublobular level.
  • (6) Membrane filtration techniques were used to enumerate Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG) organisms and Escherichia coli in a variety of natural waters, the influents and effluents from three types of sewage treatment plants and faeces of various animals.
  • (7) Subsequent dosing of NTA to vessels of higher salinity demonstrated that biodegradation was incomplete at observed mean salinities of greater than 9.18% at low influent NTA concentrations and greater than 5.08% at high influent NTA concentrations.
  • (8) In the case of influent of biological treatment plant and river waters, 0-39 percent of NOD was contained in BOD.
  • (9) Oxidation ponds must be reevaluated with regard to temporal matching of influent and effluent samples and with special care to prevent short-circuiting.
  • (10) At a near-physiological influent glutamate concentration (0.1 mM), the rates of unidirectional glutamate influx and efflux were similar (about 100 and 120 nmol g-1 min-1, respectively).
  • (11) A simple model was developed to relate fluoride sorption as a function of 'time' to maximum bone char capacity, flow rate and influent concentration.

  • (13) Steady-state taurocholate excretion into bile was not affected when the influent K+ concentration was increased from 6 to 46 mM or decreased to 1 mM with iso-osmoticity being maintained by corresponding changes in the influent Na+ concentration.
  • (14) When two livers were perfused antegradely in series, such that the perfusate leaving the first liver (liver I) entered a second liver (liver II), infusion of U-46619 at concentrations below 200 nM to the influent perfusate of liver I increased the portal pressure of liver I, but not of liver II.
