Example Sentences:
(1) The normotensive patients showed an artery in the REZ only in 41.7% of cases.
(2) Electrophysiologic recordings were made from patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS) during microvascular decompression (MVD) operations to see if spasm and synkinesis are caused by ephaptic transmission at the site of lesion (root entry zone [REZ] of the facial nerve).
(3) Latencies of nasalis muscle responses to magStim were, therefore, compared with those obtained by direct electrical stimulation of the facial nerve (a) at the root exit zone (REZ); (b) at the porus of the facial canal; and (c) in the stylomastoid fossa during microvascular decompression operations in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA).

(7) One sceptical observer of many presentations at the Future Cities Summit, Jonathan Rez of the University of New South Wales, suggests that “a smarter way” to build cities “might be for architects and urban planners to have psychologists and ethnographers on the team.” That would certainly be one way to acquire a better understanding of what technologists call the “end user” – in this case, the citizen.
(8) Between April 1985 and March 1987 130 children and adolescents up to 18 years of age with first relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were registered on the stratified and randomized multicentric trial ALL-REZ BFM 85 designed for patients pretreated with intensive front-line therapies.
