  • (17) Ten length variants were cloned, including alleles at each of the four PRB loci, and in every case the region of length difference was localized to the tandemly repetitious third exon.
  • (18) The middle repetitious DNA sequences are thought to be related in these two DNA families.

  • (20) Arthroscopy in each case failed to demonstrate the anticipated loose body but did demonstrate a fibrotic synovial fringe that impinged between the radial head and the capitellum on repetitious elbow flexion and extension, particularly with the forearm in pronation.

Repetitive


Definition:

  • (a.) Containing repetition; repeating.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The results of the evaluation confirm that most problems seen by first level medical personnel in developing countries are simple, repetitive, and treatable at home or by a paramedical worker with a few safe, essential drugs, thus avoiding unnecessary visits to a doctor.
  • (2) This modulation results from repetitive, alternating bursts of excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, which are caused at least in part by synaptic feedback to the command neurons from identified classes of neurons in the feeding network.
