A number of studies, however, have found that SLN identified by intraparenchymal, 'subdermal', intradermal or subareolar injections [ 18, 28, 32, 54, 55] stage the axilla with comparable accuracy, and that the entire breast and its overlying skin function as a single lymphatic unit in most patients [ 56].
Distension of these lymphatics and thereby of the overlying tissues may function primarily to inhibit free passage of seminal plasma into the Fallopian tube.
An electrical coil is placed over the head overlying the part of the brain – the parietal lobe – that processes balance.
The visual field map overlying the lower body representation in superior parietal cortex is primarily lower field, as would be expected if part of its function was to defend and coordinate the lower part of the body with respect to visual and somatosensory objects in the lower part of near peripersonal space; for example, when watching your step.
To assess sensory function in the skin overlying the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, capsaicin was injected intradermally over those joints.
In VKH, breakdown of the blood retinal barrier from iris and ciliary body inflammation is likely compounded by choroidal inflammation, overlying RPE injury and poor RPE pump function leading to the massive exudative detachments found in this disease process.
Strain and rotation distributions within silicon-on-insulator (SOI) device layers induced by overlying, compressively stressed, Si3N4 features were mapped as a function of stressor linewidth, illustrating the extent of interaction due to its free edges.
In this paper, Green's function for an acoustic source within half-space seawater overlying a porous seabed is established.
To dissect further the synaptic localization of A1R and P2Y1R, all the hippocampal glutamatergic synapses previously analysed were processed to record the percentage distribution of both receptors as a function of the perpendicular distance from the postsynaptic membrane overlying the PSD (Fig. 7).
The procedure involved a curvilinear thoracic incision overlying the center of the fractured segments.
