  • (17) Pial arterial diameter was determined using a closed cranial window and intravital microscopy, and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was determined using laser flowmetry.
  • (18) Semithin sections tangential to the pial surface were obtained at sampling intervals 50 micron apart throughout the depth of the left visual cortex.

  • (20) Averaged spinal cord surface evoked potentials to peripheral nerve electrical stimulation were obtained from various restricted loci on the pial surface of the cervical and lumbo-sacral spinal cord.

Vial


Definition:

  • (n.) A small bottle, usually of glass; a little glass vessel with a narrow aperture intended to be closed with a stopper; as, a vial of medicine.
  • (v. t.) To put in a vial or vials.

Example Sentences:

  • (7) Only cells cultured with Opti-MEM I and Omni Serum grew consistently in tubes and vials and these reagents were compared to FBS for viral isolation and detection.

  • (9) Traditionally, when preparing 99mTc-labeled radiopharmaceuticals, [99mTc]pertechnetate is added to the entire contents of a vial of reagent kit, and patient doses are subsequently withdrawn from the vial.
  • (10) As regards method of administration, CMNX from a vial was dissolved in physiological saline or distilled water for injection, and the solution was administered by 3 to 5 minutes one shot intravenous injection (15 cases), or CMNX was diluted with large volume parenteral product and administered by 30 to 60 minutes drip infusion (10 cases).
