(a.) Of the nature of, or relating to, a node; as, a nodal point.
Example Sentences:
(1) The functional significance of these early changes in the nodal region is uncertain.
(2) Electromechanic dissociation, sinus bradycardia, nodal rhythm followed by idioventricular rhythm and asystole, were observed following myocardial rupture.
(3) In the univariate life-table analysis, recurrence-free survival was significantly related to age, pTNM category, tumour size, presence of certain growth patterns, tumour necrosis, tumour infiltration in surrounding thyroid tissue and thyroid gland capsule, lymph node metastases, presence of extra-nodal tumour growth and number of positive lymph nodes, whereas only tumour diameter, thyroid gland capsular infiltration and presence of extra-nodal tumour growth remained as significant prognostic factors in the multivariate analysis.
(4) Following injections of HRP into the apex of the heart, the sinoatrial (SA) nodal region and the ventral wall of the right ventricle, we observed that HRP-labeled sympathetic neurons were localized predominantly in the right stellate ganglia, and to a lesser extent, in the right superior and middle cervical ganglia, and left stellate ganglia.
(5) Minimal breast cancer should include lobular carcinoma in situ (lobular neoplasia) and ductal carcinoma in situ regardless of nodal status, and (tentatively) invasive carcinoma smaller than 1 cm in total diameter, if axillary lymph nodes are not involved.
(6) As the frequency of the stimulus bursts was progressively changed, the sinoatrial (SA) nodal pacemaker cells became synchronized with the repetitive bursts of stimuli over a certain range of burst frequencies.
(7) At S-L clefts, paranodal-nodal regions, and Schwann cell nuclei, the axonal areas were smaller and the NF densities were higher than at compact myelinated regions.

(9) Based on the present findings, an improved technique for cannulation of the AV nodal artery was established.
(10) We report seven cases of a previously undescribed, distinctive pattern of nodal reaction resembling inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) of the lung and other organs.
(11) The distribution of intra-abdominal nodal involvement was assessed in 145 patients presenting with testicular tumours referred for staging by computed tomography (CT).
(12) Local failure rates were evaluated by stage and nodal status; patients with Stage III disease and those with four or more disease-positive nodes had a higher incidence of local failure than did patients with Stage II disease or those who had one to three positive nodes.
(13) The use of a water manometer would have caused overestimation of the intravascular volume status of this patient during the nodal rhythm.

(15) For some patients with T3 or V+ tumors and palpably normal retroperitoneal nodes, an extended nodal dissection may resect microscopically involved nodes and result in an improved survival rate.
(16) There is evidence that the transition from one nodal type to the next is gradual: as the gap width of type I nodes increases, there is an occurrence of surface elaborations and the density of E-face particles tends to drop towards the range of type II nodes.
(17) A nodal mass may be palpable and computed tomography (CT) is frequently requested in order to differentiate recurrent tumour from the longer term effects of surgery and radiotherapy.
