  • (17) The low-threshold region from which saccadic eye movements could be evoked with currents less than 10 microA was confined to lobule VII in two monkeys and it included a posterior part of lobule VI (lobule VIc) in another monkey.
  • (18) We report the connections of cerebellar cortical lobule HVI in the rabbit.
  • (19) It was hypothesized that pathogenic Pasteurella spp and other microorganisms in nasal secretions transfer from the nasopharynx into the lungs by draining along the tracheal floor into ventral bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli, and that pasteurella endotoxin, formed in infected lobules, thromboses and occludes lymphatics, capillaries, and veins and thereby causes ischemic necrosis.
  • (20) The effect of a preliminary hepatic washing with saline before liver fixation either by perfusion or immersion was compared to the effect of saponin, a membrane-permeabilizing agent, in order to ascertain which procedure is best to obtain a homogeneous distribution of albumin-containing hepatocytes in the hepatic lobule.

Locule


Definition:

  • (n.) A little hollow; a loculus.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This paper describes how pulsed ultrasound applied through a combined transducer-aspirator aids in the location and complete aspiration of pleural exudates, particularly loculated ones, which may be difficult to assess fully using clinical techniques alone.
  • (2) The frequent occurrence of adhesive and obliterative pericarditis with loculated effusions suggests the need for pericardiectomy rather than pericardiocentesis in the patient with rheumatoid arthritis and symptomatic pericardial involvement.
  • (3) This pattern, which we call "loculated fluid," consists of a well-demarcated area of hyperfluorescence that appears to represent pooling of fluorescein in a compartmentalized space anterior to the choroidal neovascular leakage.
  • (4) PCD is a safe and effective method for drainage of loculated empyemas as the initial procedure or after STT has failed.
  • (5) The spatial distribution of transcripts in the anther wall was confined to that region of the anther that surrounds the locule.
  • (6) We herein reported a case of delayed localized right atrial tamponade caused by loculated intrapericardial hematoma 26 days after aortic valve replacement, which was recognized immediately by transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography.
  • (7) In most of the patients, by the third or fourth treatment, they were found to have developed loculated restricted areas with minimal distribution of the agents.
  • (8) If the pH is less than 7.30, loculation of the pleural space may occur regardless of whether the effusion fulfills the criteria for empyema.
  • (9) Sonography allows easy identification of pleural fluid and loculation and differentiation from pleural masses; CT is best for characterizing location and composition of pleural masses; MR is somewhat limited, but is best for imaging superior sulcus carcinoma.
  • (10) All four loculated effusions required drainage with a chest tube for resolution.
  • (11) Digital exploration of the cavity is important for eliminating any loculations and avoiding complications after the drainage procedure.
  • (12) This technique was found to be useful in several ways: (1) differentiation of cystic, solid, and complex masses, which is not usually possible with routine roentgenographic evaluation; (2) delineation of free fluid collections from those that are loculated or contained within masses; (3) measurement of the size of both normal and abnormal structures; and (4) confirmation of the abnormal position or absence of organs.
