Bilateral (from Latin bis 'twice'): on both sides of the body. [26] For example, bilateral orchiectomy means removal of testes on both sides of the body. Unilateral (from Latin unus 'one'): on one side of the body. [27] For example, a stroke can result in unilateral weakness, meaning weakness on one side of the body.
Bilateral transform requirements for convergence are more difficult than for unilateral transforms. The region of convergence will be normally smaller. If f is a locally integrable function (or more generally a Borel measure locally of bounded variation), then the Laplace transform F(s) of f converges provided that the limit
Unilateral training involves the performance of physical exercises using one limb instead of two. Such exercises should be considered as being distinct from bilateral, two limbed, exercises. For example, unilateral squats use one leg, and bilateral squats use two legs. A unilateral bench press uses one arm and a bilateral bench press two arms.
An isolated cleft of the palate (whether Veau-I soft palate only or Veau-II hard and soft palate) is a "midline" cleft. A Veau-III cleft may be considered "unilateral," as it is contiguous with a unilateral cleft lip. A Veau-IV cleft may be considered "midline" or "bilateral" as it is contiguous with a bilateral cleft lip.
Bilateralism is the conduct of political, economic, or cultural relations between two sovereign states.It is in contrast to unilateralism or multilateralism, which is activity by a single state or jointly by multiple states, respectively.
It is defined as abnormally small kidneys, where the size is less than two standard deviations below the expected mean for the corresponding demographics, and the morphology is normal. [4] [1] The severity of the disease depends on whether hypoplasia is unilateral or bilateral, and the degree of reduction in the number of nephrons. [1]
Ptosis caused by oculomotor palsy can be unilateral or bilateral, as the subnucleus to the levator muscle is a shared midline structure in the brainstem. In cases where the palsy is caused by the compression of the nerve by a tumor or aneurysm, it is highly likely to result in an abnormal ipsilateral papillary response and a larger pupil ...
The bilateral symmetry of bilaterians is a complex trait which develops due to the expression of many genes. The bilateria have two axes of polarity . The first is an anterior – posterior (AP) axis which can be visualised as an imaginary axis running from the head or mouth to the tail or other end of an organism.
