What's the difference between sigmoid and sigmoidal?

Sigmoid


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Sigmoidal

Example Sentences:

  • (1) [Ca2+]i exhibited a sigmoidal dependence on [Na+]o. Mg2+, a competitive inhibitor of Na2+-Ca2+ antiport in these cells, antagonized the increase in [Ca2+]i produced by lowering [Na+]o.
  • (2) These two types of transfer functions are appropriate to explain the transition to anaerobic metabolism (anaerobic threshold), with a hyperbolic transfer characteristic representing a graded transition; and a sigmoid transfer characteristic representing an abrupt transition.
  • (3) We report a retrospective study of 107 cases of carcinoma of the sigmoid colon and upper rectum treated for primary cure at the University of California at Los Angeles Hospital between 1955 and 1970.
  • (4) As to complications they recorded in one case mucosal bleeding after gastrofiberoptic polypectomy and in one case a covered perforation of the sigmoid at the site of colonoscopic polypectomy.
  • (5) The sigmoidal shape of the curve of rate constant vs mole percent anionic lipid is consistent with a positively cooperative effect of the negative surface charge.
  • (6) The pH dependence of this spectral change gave a sigmoidal curve fitted well to a theoretical curve of a cooperative release of two protons with a pK value of 7.5, indicating the existence of the acidic and alkaline forms of the ferrous CO enzyme.
  • (7) After addition of triiodothyronine, malic enzyme mRNA accumulated with sigmoidal kinetics, approaching a new steady state at 36-48 h after adding hormone.
  • (8) Furthermore, illustrations of the types of transfer characteristics observed in different individuals and different training regimens can be obtained, including both hyperbolic (Michaelis-Menten) and sigmoid transfer characteristics.
  • (9) Substrate saturation curves of the native enzyme show sigmoid shape, whereas the enzyme liberated from the bacteria in the presence of l-serine exhibits normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
  • (10) It is concluded that the state of ureterointestinal anastomoses and the sigmoid should be assessed specifically in postureterosigmoid anastomosis patients with impaired renal function.
  • (11) We have presented a case of internal herniation of small bowel through the sigmoid mesocolon in a pregnant woman.
  • (12) It has been found that the tm shift decreases sigmoidally from 4.7 to -0.3 degrees C as the bulk pH is raised from 5 to 11.
  • (13) Literature review showed this to be the first reported case of sigmoid sinus thrombosis in congenital aural atresia.
  • (14) We present a case of colonic varices not associated with portal hypertension but secondary to prior sigmoid resection and inferior mesenteric vein occlusion.
  • (15) The fibrorectosigmoidocope Olympus TCF I S, has been systematically applied to the exploration of the distal colon (rectum and sigmoid) in patients with intestinal or digestive extra intestinal symptoms.
  • (16) For the experimental studies, fractures of the jaw bone in terms of oblique osteotomies from angle to sigmoid notch of the mandible of the Malaysian monkeys were made by using #700 fissure bur and reduced and fixed them in terms of interosseous wiring.
  • (17) The mechanical force-deflection response was sigmoidal with continuously changing resistance.
  • (18) The data relative to the guanidine-induced unfolding show a sigmoidal increase of the distribution width, which is due to the transition of the protein structure from the native to the random-coiled state.
  • (19) Left angiography, performed in August, 1975, revealed a dural arteriovenous malformation, which was supplied by enlarged left middle meningeal artery, occipital artery, meningohypophyseal artery and superior cerebellar artery and was draining into the left sigmoid sinus.
  • (20) If the patient has hematochezia or the excretory urogram demonstrates ureteral obstruction sigmoid and colonoscopy should be done.

Sigmoidal


Definition:

  • (a.) Curved in two directions, like the letter S, or the Greek /.
