Afflux

There is a huge afflux of new information in human genetics and epigenetics. ❋ Unknown (2010)

When you have carried the bandage twice or thrice round at the seat of the fracture, it is to be carried upward, so that the afflux of blood into it may be stopped, and the bandage should terminate there, and the first bandages ought not to be long. ❋ Unknown (2007)

And would not quickness of sensation be an inconvenience to an animal that must lie still where chance has once placed it, and there receive the afflux of colder or warmer, clean or foul water, as it happens to come to it? ❋ Unknown (2007)

In the latter instances, all afflux of nutriment and heat being prevented by the ligature, we see the testes and large fleshy tumours dwindle, die, and finally fall off. ❋ Unknown (2005)

And then, wherefore is there neither swelling nor repletion of the veins, nor any sign or symptom of attraction or afflux, above the ligature? ❋ Unknown (2005)

Second, that the afflux proceeds from the heart, and through the heart by a course from the great veins; for it gets into the parts below the ligature through the arteries, not through the veins; and the arteries nowhere receive blood from the veins, nowhere receive blood save and except from the left ventricle of the heart. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Besides, the ligature is competent to occasion the afflux in question without either pain, or heat, or a vacuum. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Well! there are a certain number of organs which are vitiated by their lack, by their constitution, others which are vitiated by an excess of afflux. ❋ Unknown (2003)

He felt within him sources of suffering so numerous, diverse, and complicated, such an afflux of miseries, such inevitable tortures, he felt so lost, so far overwhelmed, from this moment, by a wave of unimaginable agony that he could not suppose anyone ever had suffered as he did. ❋ Unknown (2003)

Like the time Zeke knew everything about Dr. Blau, even his family secrets from the Great War, and the chief of staff explained it away as an afflux of the collective unconscious and ordered the old man shot up with depressants. ❋ Attanasio, A. A. (1984)

So it is held that the afflux of mobile cells towards points of lesion shows the organism's reaction against foreign bodies in general and against infectious microbes in particular. ❋ Unknown (1967)

It predicts, however, the afflux that will be necessary at a future pregnancy, in precisely the same way as the growth of the lungs in the foetus predicts the future necessity for respiration, or the formation of ovules in the ovaries of the newborn girl, predicts the future necessity of a reproductive apparatus. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)

The afflux of blood to the uterus during the rupture of the ovisac, cannot be shown to be useful by any effort of teleological physiologists. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)

On account of the imminence of this danger, the period of real incapacity for mental effort lasts much longer than conscious discomfort is likely to do -- lasts, indeed, as long as the physiological afflux of blood to the uterus -- which, by the means described, may at any moment become excessive. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)

They increase also during intellectual operations, unattended by emotion, in which a similar increase of pressure must take place, on account of the afflux of blood to the cerebral hemispheres, when these are aroused to activity. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)

This evolution of nerve-force which accompanies the maturation of the ovule, is the immediate cause of the afflux of blood to the utero-ovarian vessels. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)

After injury the dilatation of the vessels with the greater afflux of blood to the part is the effect of the greatly increased cell activity, and is a necessity for this. ❋ William Thomas Councilman (N/A)

Heat is produced in the interior of the body chiefly in the muscles and great glands, and the increased afflux of blood brings more heat to the surface. ❋ William Thomas Councilman (N/A)

In a few cases, the mental effort itself, by the afflux of blood determined to the brain, or the excessive activity imposed upon its elements, becomes an efficient cause of disease. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
