Isthmian
Definition:

(15) And with the Darts turning out in the Isthmian Premier, European football – and the polluting long-haul flights that accompany it – is not an issue.
Isthmus
Definition:
(n.) A neck or narrow slip of land by which two continents are connected, or by which a peninsula is united to the mainland; as, the Isthmus of Panama; the Isthmus of Suez, etc.
Example Sentences:
(1) To explore relations between preload, afterload, and stroke volume (SV) in the fetal left ventricle, we instrumented 126-129 days gestation fetal lambs with ascending aortic electromagnetic flow transducers, vascular catheters, and inflatable occluders around the aortic isthmus (n = 8) or descending aorta (n = 7).

(4) In control tissues there was a significant variation in vascularity according to geographic location in the following order of magnitude: fundus greater than corpus greater than cornua greater than isthmus.
(5) Inaccurate IFS diagnosis of depth of myometrial invasion can occur when tumor involves the uterine isthmus or cornua and when tumor invades areas of adenomyosis.
(6) Marginal overhang was the prevailing type of failure (17%), recurrent caries occurred at 12% of the restorations, unacceptable proximal contact at 10%, unacceptable marginal adaptation at 8% and isthmus fractures at 2%.
(7) Toral neurons project to the secondary visceral nucleus of the isthmus and to the central and anterior thalamic nuclei of the dorsal thalamus.
(8) However, of the four children with a residual gradient greater than 20 mm Hg, two were the youngest in the study, and in two the aorta was inadvertently dilated with a balloon 4 to 5 mm smaller than the isthmus diameter.
(9) Ventilatory conditions, or the existence of soft tissue density, were evaluated by HRCT at such locations as the supratubal recess, mesotympanum, anterior and posterior parts of the tympanic isthmus, epitympanum, and mastoid antrum.
(10) Ganglion cells innervating the posterior canal were located in the caudal part of the inferior ganglion, while those cells innervating the saccule were located in the rostral part of the inferior ganglion, scattered in the superior ganglion, and concentrated at the junction (isthmus) between the two.
(11) Examination of the characteristics of the EP reveals that there is a significantly higher proportion located in the isthmus in the group of patients without an IUD, whereas the fimbrial location is more frequent among patients with an IUD.
(12) In addition, labelled cells were found in the torus semicircularis, in and around the nucleus isthmus pars parvocellularis.
(13) Ova were consistently recovered from the ampulla 24 hours after ovulation, from both the ampulla and isthmus at 48 hours, and from the uterus 72 hours after ovulation.
(14) Some metric parameters (height and width, sizes of the isthmus the an angle between the corns) are given with the purpose of greater precision of roentgenological interpretation.
(15) A biopsy was taken from the mucosa of the intramural part, isthmus, and ampulla in each tube.
(16) End diastolic flow velocity just beneath the aortic isthmus was measured within 72 hours of cardiac catheterisation by pulsed Doppler echocardiography in 30 controls and 61 patients with aortic regurgitation.
(17) Microsurgical anastomosis restored electrical continuity between anastomosed segments in both the ampulla and isthmus.
(18) One of them was located at mid-descending thoracic aorta and another was aortic isthmus.
(19) Coitus induced ovulation produced a characteristic oviductal motility pattern consisting of (i) initial relaxation of both isthmus and ampulla (4-12 h) followed by (ii) increased isthmic motility in the face of a continually relaxed ampulla (36-48 h), and finally phase (iii) leading to restitution of both ampullary and isthmic motility to the base-line at 72-96 h.
