Opifice
Definition:
(n.) Workmanship.
Example Sentences:

Definition:
(n.) A mouth or aperture, as of a tube, pipe, etc.; an opening; as, the orifice of an artery or vein; the orifice of a wound.
Example Sentences:
(1) The authors propose three regular procedures with which they are experienced: repair with a large retromuscular nonabsorbable synthetic tulle prosthesis for extensive epigastric eventrations, fillup aponeuroplasty using the sheath of the rectus abdominis associated with a premuscular patch in case of diastasis or of multiple superimposed orifices and suture associated with a small retromuscular auxiliary patch to treat small incisional hernias.
(2) The parameters of LES relaxation for both wet and dry swallows were similar using either a carefully placed single recording orifice or a Dent sleeve.
(3) The important concept implicit in this formula is that the hemodynamic evaluation of a stenotic valve requires that the pressure gradient across that valve be examined in light of the cardiac output passing through the orifice.
(4) Bronchoscopy may then be carried out in order to study the area surrounding the diverticular orifice more closely, and to establish the condition of its mucous lining.
(5) To study the effect of air sac pressures, a controllable pressure difference was produced between the air sac orifices of fixed duck lungs.
(6) This determines that the ureteral orifice enter the urogenital sinus laterally with respect to the Wolffian duct.
(7) The orifice size was slightly, but not significantly, smaller in patients over age 70 years compared with those younger than 70.
(8) In the light of experience acquired in our Echocardiography Laboratory, we recommend, in accordance with data from the literature, the exclusive use of pulsed Doppler and measurement of valve orifices by two-dimensional imaging at the point of insertion of the aortic and sigmoid cusps as well as at the mitral ring.
(9) Then using mathematical rules we configured out the mean volume of the root canal of each group and the mean value of the diameter of the orifice of the canal of each group of teeth.
(10) Loading is achieved by the production of transient, survivable plasma membrane disruptions as cells are passed back and forth through a standard syringe needle or similar narrow orifice.
(11) The standard surgical management of patients presenting with transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract is nephroureterectomy with excision of a cuff of bladder around the ureteric orifice.
(12) In this color Doppler method, one or more isovelocity surface areas (PISA), delineated by blue and red aliasing velocity interfaces, can be identified proximal to the narrowed orifice.
(13) Mitral orifice area is best determined with cross-sectional (two-dimensional) imaging systems.

(17) By combining Doppler catheter, echocardiographic and cardiac catheterization techniques, the effective aortic regurgitant orifice area may be estimated; this hydrodynamic area correlates with grading by supravalvular aortography.
(18) Recent improvements in two-dimensional, planar instrumentation promise to make echocardiography even more versatile, permitting more comprehensive views of left ventricular function, valve orifice areas, and the spatial relationships of the great vessels and ventricular chambers.
(19) The proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method, assessed by color Doppler echocardiography, has gained acceptance as a means of calculating flow rate through regurgitant orifice.
(20) The authors have gained minimum blood losses when suturing with provisional catgut ligature through the urinary bladder bottom between interureteral fold and internal urethral orifice yet before dessection of adenoma surgical capsule and tumor enucleation.
