Girdling

Meanwhile, the organic compound can be prepared for analysis whilst the sealed end C (Fig. 72) of the Carius tube has been cooling dow n. For this purpose, thoroughly clean and dry a small tube, which is about 6 cm. long and 8-10 mm. w ide. Weigh it carefully, supporting it on the balance pan either by means of a small stand of aluminium foil, or by a short section of a perforated rubber stopper (Fig. 73 (A) and (B) respectively) alternatively the tube may be placed in a small beaker on the balance pan, or suspended above the pan by a small hooked wire girdle. 

The acetabular component is as integral to successful total hip arthroplasty as is the femoral hip stem component. The life of the acetabular component depends on proper placement and bone preparation in the acetabular region of the hip girdle, proper use of bone cement, and superior component design.

Calpain Tissue specific calpains have been implicated in diabetes, cataracts, multiple sclerosis, and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A. More than 50 inhibitors of calpain have described which have a potential for therapeutic applications.

In the resting (closed) state, the ion channel is occluded by a hydrophobic girdle that constitutes a barrier to ion permeation. Agonist binding in the extracellular domain promotes a conformational change that results in a rotational movement of the M2 helices lining the pore, widening the pore by A. This results... 

Late-onset centronuclear myopathies show a predominance of limb-girdle and truncal muscle weakness with only rare facial or eye involvement. Although this group is classified with the congenital myopathies, weakness only becomes appar-... 

In a typical hip replacement operation, the top of the thigh bone is removed and a cavity is drilled along the direction of the long axis of the remaining bone. A metal prosthesis is placed in this cavity and secured in place with PMMA cement. In the pelvic girdle a plastic cup is fitted to act as the seat of the new, smaller hip joint. This cup is made of ultra-high molar mass poly (ethylene) and is also secured in place with PMMA cement. The components of an artificial hip joint are shown in Figure 10.1. 

Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Mutations in the genes encoding some of the components of the sarcoglycan complex shown in Figure 49-12 are responsible for limb-girdle and certain other congenital forms of muscular dystrophy. 

Applications should be made when the activity of field workers will result in maximum exposure (i.e., pruning, girdling, harvesting, etc.)... 

So fierce was this one that it seemed an age before I saw that she had returned and held something before my eyes a strip of silk and leather, dark and stained with age, stitched with curious signs I could not read and a fat and smiling dragon. It s the girdle, Ysa Saint Margaret s girdle. Now all will be well. ... 

The clinical picture in male children can closely resemble Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy in adults, it mimics limb-girdle dystrophy or polymyositis. The early and severe involvement of respiratory muscles in most patients with AMD is a distinctive clinical clue. Respiratory failure and pulmonary infection are the most common causes of death. 

Both clusters in Fig. 5.31 exhibit considerable cooperative proton-ordering that distinguishes them from many alternative proton-disordered (and destabilized) isomeric forms that could be imagined. For example, the 24-mer (Fig. 5.31 (a)) has two fully cooperative W6C-like caps as well as a fully cooperative 12-ring girdle, ... 

He assumed that a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in diatomic hydrogen and in other molecules, like methane. The electrons were modeled as a girdle of electrons rotating in a circle at a right angle to the axis connecting two atoms.
