Lichens grow as a visible film on the stone surface and due to their macroscopic structure, their presence on stones is visibly evident.
The sampling of neoadjuvant specimens will be influenced by whether or not there is a residual macroscopic lesion, the presence of a clip indicating the tumour bed, and the extent of disease on imaging pre-treatment.
grade 0: no macroscopic alteration; grade 1: presence of exudate, no fibrin reaction or adherences; grade 2: presence of exudate, with the presence of mild adherences; grade 3: presence of exudate, with the presence of firm adherences; grade 4: absence of exudate, incarcerated lung.
The criteria for the diagnosis of endometriosis by the macroscopic evaluation included the presence of one or more of the following characteristics: the presence of cysts filled with clear fluid and/or the presence of thin adhesion around the implant and/or clearly visible hypervascularisation in the form of foci on the abdominal peritoneum.
The impact of variation in tumour antigen (GPA33) expression, tumour size, specimen type (primary vs metastatic), presence of macroscopic necrosis, and tumour vasculature on huA33 uptake were examined.
To compare the presence of macroscopic mucosal abnormalities during upper GI endoscopy in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients randomised to receive pantoprazole or placebo.
Angiomyolipomas can be differentiated from renal cell carcinoma based upon the presence of macroscopic fat within them, and their haemorrhagic risk is greatest when they are over 4 cm in size [7].
The aim of the study is two-folded: Description of the material's overall mechanical response in the presence of macroscopic discontinuities and mapping the damage evolution process.
The difference between the values obtained from the two methods is believed to be due to the presence of macroscopic order in the amorphous phase, which influences the value of the WAXS crystallinity.
The description of a liquid state for sols was based on physical macroscopic observations and the presence of a "Maltese-cross pattern" visible in cross-polarized reflected light optical microscopes at high magnification [11],[17], though this may not be definitive evidence of a true liquid state [17].
