  • (2) In this work, we describe a software package, MUCIDS, completely developed in our laboratory, for acquisition and processing of differential polarization light-scattering data from specimens of biophysical interest.
  • (3) Before last week’s documentary on the German television channel WDR, which shone a light on the mucid dealings within the IAAF, he published a manifesto that stressed the need for a fully independent drug‑testing body.

Mucoid


Definition:

  • (a.) Resembling mucus.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Earlier recognition of foul-smelling mucoid discharge on the IUD tail, or abnormal bleeding, or both, as a sign of early pelvic infection, followed by removal of the IUD and institution of appropriate antibiotic therapy, might prevent the more serious sequelae of pelvic inflammation.
  • (2) The percentage of positive cases was highest in the serous MEE group (81.2%) and decreased in the purulent MEE group (57%), the mucoid MEE group (30%), and the hyperviscous MEE group (13.6%), in that order.
  • (3) Moreover, the mucoid substances of the sensillum lymph are probably involved in water conservation, since sensilla are prone to water loss, because the overlying cuticle must be permeable to the chemical stimuli.
  • (4) It leads to ganglia formation due to mucoid liquefaction.
  • (5) Five patients had mucoid degeneration of their mitral valves.
  • (6) Piperacillin-aminoglycoside combinations acted (partially) synergistically against 33-40% of the Enterobacteriaceae, 34-58% of non-mucoid strains of P. aeruginosa and 63-84% of the mucoid strains of P. aeruginosa (p less than 0.01).
  • (7) Animal antibody raised to this material is able to mediate opsonic killing of mucoid strains of P. aeruginosa.
  • (8) The null mutation of algR was generated in a mucoid derivative of the standard genetic strain PAO responsive to different environmental factors.
  • (9) Exceptionally, mucoid carcinomas showed weaker intensity for receptor expression.
  • (10) The combined action of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha caused a dose-related cellular exfoliation, leading to the formation of a mucoid cap made of mucus and cellular debris.
  • (11) Suspensions of cells from colons of F344 rats always contained copious mucoid gel that was partially eliminated by washing the cells three times in culture medium with 10% fetal calf serum.
  • (12) In view of the facts that uric acid is a common end-product of human and animal metabolism, it is abundantly present in the avian faecal matter and is capable of inducing mucoid growth and capsule formation in dry growing non-encapsulated strains or in an otherwise rough looking hypha forming isolate, its role in studying the phylogenesis of C. neoformans and its pathogenicity seems to be an important proposition.
  • (13) The glands can be of the following types: cystognic case forming, mucoid and glands of penetration.
  • (14) Nonmucoid isolates were derived from strain SA1 mucoid by Tn551 insertional mutagenesis.

  • (17) These results indicate that both molecular size and dose are critical determinants for eliciting opsonic killing antibody to mucoid P. aeruginosa after immunizing with MEP.

  • (19) Removal of the mucoid cap that formed after application of the NaCl did not cause a reduction of the protective effects.
  • (20) Uteri from hamsters treated postnatally with DES and derived from normal (CD) or DES-treated mothers (DD) show that accumulated mucoid secretion products are not expelled in the uterine lumen but are "stored" in cystic dilated glandular spaces of the fibrocellular stroma of polyps and papillae filling the uterine lumen.
