Esophageal stenosis was defined as an esophageal diameter <11 mm, rather than the inability to pass the gastroscope (which had a diameter of 9.8 11.0 mm) or inability to achieve or maintain a diameter of 14 mm despite dilatation every 2 4 weeks [ 5, 16].
Stents are often used to maintain the diameter of the coronary artery lumen.
These side-arm protrusions mediate the interaction between neighboring filaments and maintain axonal diameter.
The additional growing space provided through wider initial spacing or thinning (growing stock level trials) allows residual trees to maintain rapid diameter growth, thus increasing taper.
Outward remodeling of atherosclerotic vessels helps to maintain lumen diameter and blood flow, whereas inward remodeling leads to ischemia associated with angina and peripheral vascular disease (Ward et al., 2000).
The volume clamp method, as used in the FinoMeter, utilizes a cuff (clamp) with an inflatable bladder around the finger to maintain the diameter of a finger artery constant despite changes in arterial pressure with each heartbeat.
Men tend to display eccentric remodeling of the left ventricle with concomitant myocyte dropout yet maintain chamber diameter, while women develop concentric hypertrophy and increased wall thickness (Krumholz et al. 1993).
afferent arterioles from low-salt SS animals maintain higher diameters at low pressures than those from high-salt animals; and (2).
It is not just a question of setting a specified diameter in the first place, which is a fundamental and unanswered question, but maintaining that diameter so that the resulting rod-shaped cell is smooth and uniform along its entire length.
For most of its duration, it maintained a diameter of 200-300 km, though it shrank just before landfall on Ajaccio to a diameter of 100 km.
In poplar plants, the size distribution of the gold nanoparticles appears to be somewhat modified during uptake and transport with the exception of the 50-nm gold nanoparticles, which maintained their diameter and were surrounded by some unknown substances in the leaf xylem cells [57].
