(1) The cross sectional area of the aortic lumen was gradually decreased while the length of the stenotic lesion gradually increased by using strips with different width.
(2) Further, the maximal increase in force of contraction was measured using papillary muscle strips from some of these patients.
(3) S&P – the only one of the three major agencies not to have stripped the UK of its coveted AAA status – said it had been surprised at the pick-up in activity during 2013 – a year that began with fears of a triple-dip recession.
(4) But the Franco-British spat sparked by Dave's rejection of Angela and Nicolas's cunning plan to save the euro has been given wings by news the US credit agencies may soon strip France of its triple-A rating and is coming along very nicely, thank you. "
(5) Circular muscle strips from the opossum esophageal body obtained 3-5 cm above the esophagogastric junction were suspended in organ baths for measurement of isometric tension.
(6) Survival and healing of "extremely severe" grade intoxication can only be obtained through a surgical intervention within the first hours; a laparotomy will indicate the depth of the lesions, which is not determined by endoscopy, and will consist of Celerier's stripping method and if necessary a gastrectomy, more seldom a cephalic duodeno-pancreatectomy.
(7) In goldfish intestine (perfused unstripped segments and mucosal strips) the serosal addition of ouabain (10(-4) M) resulted in a vanishment of the transepithelial potential difference and in a continuous increase in transepithelial resistance.
(8) Dopamine at concentrations over 10(-5)M induced contractions of tracheal muscle strips and repeated exposures resulted in desensitization (tachyphylaxis) of the muscle.
(9) Similar results with carbachol in the presence of 8-bromo cyclic AMP and IBMX were also found in rat right atrial strips which had been incubated with [3H]-noradrenaline.
(10) On guinea-pig lung strip the rank order of potency was U-46619 greater than Wy17186 much greater than PGF2 alpha greater than PGE2 and responses to all agonists tested were blocked by AH19437 but not by SC-19220.
(11) Glutathion and ascorbic acid interfere with the test strip method but this error is neglectable because of physiological low concentrations of these substances.
(12) We compared the effects of angiotensin II and endothelin on mass levels of 1,2-diacylglycerol, and endogenous activator of protein kinase C, in cultured rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells with the effects of these vasoconstrictors on contractile responses of rabbit aortic strips.
(13) It was found that within the dorsal part of the well known pressor area there is a narrow strip, 2.5 mm lateral from the mid line, starting ventral to the inferior colliculus and ending in the medulla close to the floor of the IV ventricle, from which vasodilatation in skeletal muscles is selectively obtained.
(14) The tinsel coiled around a jug of squash and bauble in the strip lighting made a golf-ball size knot of guilt burn in my throat.
(15) The effect of p-nitrophenylphosphate (p-NPP) on the release of acetylcholine evoked by drugs and ionic environments known to inhibit Na+, K+-ATPase was studied in isolated cortical slices of rat brain and longitudinal muscle strip of guinea-pig ileum.
(16) Experiments were performed in vitro on strips of diaphragmatic muscle obtained from 21 Syrian hamsters.
(17) Results obtained from a such study are here compared with levels obtained from a comparative determination of the metals in the mosses by three other techniques: Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV), Direct current plasma (atomic emission) spectroscopy (DCPS) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy.
(18) In cholesterol stones and cholesterolosis specimens, relatively strong muscle strips had similar responses to 10(-6) M cholecystokinin-8 in normal calcium (2.5 mM) and in the absence of extracellular calcium.
(19) An evaluation of the Ames Leukostix reagent strips for the detection of leukocyte esterase activity in urine was undertaken to determine the interlot precision and between reader reliability, to compare Leukostix and Chemstrip LN results, and to determine if the Ames Leukostix reagent strip provides an alternative to, or supplement for, the microscopic detection of leukocytes.
(20) He was held there for another eight months in conditions that aroused widespread condemnation , including being held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day and being made to strip naked at night.
