The metacarpal bone shafts of our RA patients were thinner and had a greater outer bone diameter.
However, the greater shaft outer diameter was seen only at the metacarpal bone shaft suggesting RA-specific alterations at the metacarpal bone.
However, the phialopore widens dramatically until the diameter of the opening is even greater than the outer diameter of the inverted posterior hemisphere.
The inner diameter of the opening increases until it is somewhat greater than the outer diameter of the inverted posterior hemisphere.
As expected, AP outer (periosteal) diameters (Y axis) of the tibiae at mid-shaft were significantly greater than LM outer diameters (X axis) in both control (P < 0.001) and experimental (P < 0.01) groups.
More specifically, bronchus dilatation was defined as a bronchus lumen diameter greater than the accompanying pulmonary artery outer diameter, lack of tapering of the bronchus or bronchi visible in the outer centimeter of the lung.
Biventricular outer diameter in the greatest dimension at end-diastole in this study was highly reproducible as indicated in analysis of inter- and intra-observer variability for intra-class correlation coefficient.
The outer diameter, DE1 of the central electrode E1 was chosen to be slightly greater than the inner diameter of the plastic tip Dit (i.e., DE1 ≤ Dit), thus sealing the flow of liquid through the probe.
Endoscope designs, all 7.5 Fr. in outer diameter, were used to obtain images of the coronary sinus, tricuspid valve, and great vessels in 25 pigs, 16 dogs, 1 calf, and 1 sheep.
In addition, the outer diameter of the steel sleeve inside the bolt hole exceeded the design requirement, which resulted in greater tensile stress near the bolt hole and promoted the stress corrosion cracking.
