What's the difference between lentiform and leptiform?
Lentiform
Definition:
(a.) Lenticular.
Example Sentences:
(1) The PET studies suggest dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex as a result of damage to the lentiform nuclei.
(2) This electrophysiological study analyzes the influence of the nucleus of the basal optic root (nBOR) of the avian accessory optic system on units within the lentiform nucleus (LM), which is the avian equivalent of the pretectal nucleus of the optic tract.
(3) Caudate atrophy was seen less commonly, and nonspecific focal and symmetric signal abnormalities from the caudate or lentiform nuclei were seen by magnetic resonance imaging in 3 out of 4 cases.
(4) Another case of obsessive behaviour as the consequence of lentiform nuclei lesions is reported.
(5) Phase-encoding artifacts at the level of the sylvian fissures caused increased noise, obscuring the brain iron in the lentiform nuclei with the TE of 120 msec.
(6) T1-weighted images revealed a slight symmetric hypointensity in the lentiform nuclei and thalamus.
(7) There was nerve cell loss and gliosis in the thalamus, lentiform nucleus, subthalamic nucleus, red nucleus, midbrain tegmentum, substantia nigra and locus coeruleus.
(8) Dystrophic calcification was present in the corticomedullary junction, lentiform nucleus of the basal ganglia, corticomedullary junction, and dentate nucleus of the cerebellum.
(9) Obscuration of the lentiform nucleus was thought to be an important early sign of cerebral infarction, including the lentiform nucleus.
(10) Microdialysis probes were acutely implanted through indwelling cannulae positioned at several sites above the lentiform nuclei in the conscious primates, and the basal and potassium (100 mM) evoked amino acid levels were monitored for 3 h. These procedures were repeated at fresh sites within the lateral globus pallidus following the induction of parkinsonism with MPTP.
(11) One patient with AIDS, examined with CT only, had low density in the lentiform nucleus.
(12) Magnetic resonance also demonstrated signal aberrations in the lentiform nuclei and surrounding white matter consistent with iron storage or disordered myelination.
(13) The severity of chorea correlated significantly only with lentiform nucleus rCMRGlc.
(14) Three pretectal groups (the lentiform thalamic nucleus, the lentiform mesencephalic-pretectal complex and the geniculate pretectal nucleus) give rise to heavy, bilateral tectal projections.
(15) MRI of both cases demonstrated lesions with prolonged T1, prolonged T2 and partially shortened T2 in bilateral lentiform nuclei.
(16) The sharp transition to normal at the lentiform nucleus previously described on CT was present in only one of the four patients, but was observed in a different patient with cerebral lymphoma and no evidence of HSE and is thus concluded to be less specific than previously thought.
(17) in caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus and upper mid-brain, which showed nerve cell loss in previous pathological studies.
(18) In the second case the lesion involved the subcortical and deep structures with destruction of the lentiform nucleus, anterior part of the internal capsule and part of the head of the caudate nucleus, and the clinical pattern resembled that of Wernicke aphasia.
(19) Erythrocytes develop in suspension from spherical through discoid to lentil-shaped (lentiform) cells, with a single rigorously specified microtubule bundle, the marginal band.
(20) Hematomas are usually spherical or ovoid within the abdomen, and lentiform within the pleural space or abdominal wall.
Leptiform
Definition:
(a.) Having a form somewhat like leptus; -- said of active insect larvae having three pairs of legs. See Larva.
