Example sentences for: velocities

How can you use “velocities” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In terms of TCD velocities, it was noted in the STOP study that sibling pairs were common among abnormals (i.e.

  • Studies conducted at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) in the mid-1980's have shown that transcranial doppler (TCD) can identify children at high risk for stroke by detecting high flow rate in major intracranial arteries [ 8 9 ] . Children with flow velocities of 200 cm/sec or higher in middle cerebral or internal carotid arteries (normal = 140-170 cm/sec for sickle cell children) had a stroke risk of 10-15% per year, which represents a 20-fold increase over that for unselected children with sickle cell disease.

  • Neutrophils were perfused over cell monolayers expression E- or P-selectin and the rolling velocities calculated.

  • Data from the STOP study showed that ~10% of patients with Hb SS between the ages of 2-16 years are at risk for stroke as determined by Transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities of 200 cm/sec or greater [ 11 ] . TCD velocity elevation can be due to two factors: reduction of arterial diameter due to stenosis and/or increased volume flow through the artery.

  • These observations then led to the multicenter STOP (Stroke Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell Anemia) study in which sickle cell children age 2-16 years, from 14 centers in the U.S. and Canada, were screened by TCD [ 10 ] . One hundred thirty patients with flow velocities of >200 cm/sec were randomized to observation or to receive periodic blood transfusions to reduce % Hb S to <30.
