Esophageal varices may coexist with the common dilatation of the venous system in which the veins of the rectum, scrotum, and legs are most conspicuously affected.
Varices or unsuspected luetic, malignant, or tuberculous lesions may be found to be the cause.
The varices usually indicate stages of growth, each one showing a former position of the outer lip of the aperture.
Varices are owing to local retardation of the venous circulation, and in some cases to relaxation of the parietes of the veins.
In some cases, the saphena minor is also varicose to some extent, the varices on which must also be obliterated.
The varicesoccasionally become inflamed, painful, and much swollen, with considerable œdema of the whole limb.
I have already noticed the varices of the preceding genera; in Triton they never form longitudinal ranges, but are alternate, few, and nearly solitary on each whorl of the spire; these varices are generally smooth and without spines.
The shells have three or more varices upon each whorl; those in Ranella but two; while Struthiolaria has a varix only on the right-margin.
Varices of the veins are a not unimportant cause of gastric hemorrhage.
Several cases have been reported of fatal hemorrhage from varices of the oesophagus.
The varices on the exterior are not so prominent as in the Potamides (Fig.
If at any time one of these varices should burst, it need occasion no alarm, unless it be seated on a large vein, and the bleeding becomes profuse.
If this be carefully put on, just tight enough not to interfere with the motion of the limbs, nor totally obstruct the circulation, it will prevent the varices to a great extent, if not altogether.
Note: Varices are owing to local retardation of the venous circulation, and in some cases to relaxation of the parietes of the veins.
Note: The varices usually indicate stages of growth, each one showing a former position of the outer lip of the aperture.
Canal very long: Shell armed with tooth-like spines mostly arranged in three varices MUREX Auct.
Every variety of traumatic aneurism was met with, and most frequently of all, perhaps, aneurismal varices and varicose aneurisms.
These suggestions seem borne out by the cases recounted below, since the pure varices are one femoral, one popliteal, and one axillary.
The two continuous rows of varices skirting the spire, distinguish this genus from Triton, which it nearly approaches, and into which some species run by imperceptible gradations.
A Ranella, on account of the two rows of varices skirting the whorls, appears, as it were, laterally compressed.
Varices are caused by periodical rests or stoppages in the growth of the shell, when the edge of the aperture thickens, and renders the shell as complete as when full grown.
General habit of Muricidea, but the inner lip is depressed and flattened as in the Purpurinae; varices simple, nearly obsolete.
They have, however, no true varices on the whorls, but merely raised bars.
Spire more produced, as long or longer than the body whorl; varices numerous; no internal channel at the top of the aperture.
The varices of Triton, occurring in different parts of the whorls, do not form the continuous ridges which characterize the generality of the Ranellae.
In order to distinguish a regular varix from a mere external ridge, it will be sufficient to notice whether its edge overlaps the external surface, and whether it resembles the open edge of the aperture, which truevarices do.
Carried on without interruption, as the siphon in Spirula, the varices in Ranella, fig.
When these rests take place at frequent periods, the varices will of course be numerous as in Harpa and Scalaria.
The varices are simple and not foliaceous as in /M.
The knobs between the varices are much smaller, while the revolving ribs, though fewer in number than in most of these west-coast murices, are heavy and large.
There is, besides all this, a system of pronounced revolving ribs which cross the varices and nodes, giving to the shell a greatly roughened appearance.
Its most conspicuous feature is the large foliaceous varices which cross the whorls, projecting almost one fourth of an inch from the body of the shell.
The shell is marked by three well-raised varices upon each whorl, which are reflexed backward; between each varix is a rounded knob.
All is covered with numerous spiral lines of sculpture, which upon crossing the varices are frilled.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "varices" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
