Tilted
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Tilt
Example Sentences:

(3) Moreover, the majority of the 'out of phase' units showed an increased discharge during side-up animal tilt and side-down neck rotation.
(4) It appears impossible to define a "positive" tilt test that would adequately identify patients with clinically significant dehydration or blood loss; this is due to the large variance in patients' orthostatic measurements both in a healthy and in an ill state and the lack of a significant correlation of orthostatic measurements to a level of dehydration.
(5) The most frequently occurring signs were: tilting of the disc (89%), oblique direction of the vessels (89%) and myopic astigmatism (96%).
