I have to puncture a foil pouch with a straw.

The great majority of cases occur in the lowest of the lumbar vertebrae (L5), but spondylolysis may also occur in the other lumbar vertebrae, as well as in the thoracic vertebrae.

The peak of this convexity is at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3).

Galvani showed that a frog's legs twitched when he connected the lumbar nerve to a source of electrical current.

But they may also be waiting for the first external shock to puncture the Chavez balloon before they pounce.

And, so, very quickly, Bob can just get one puncture, local anesthesia, and do this harvest as an outpatient.

If I ask you if you'd like to have coffee, you won't puncture a hole in your sneakers, will you?

Actions of that sort puncture, violently, the hope embodied by the very presence of the person who is there to help those in need.

You can kill a man... by shoving an ice pick into the base of his brain... leaving a puncture so small the naked eye can't see.

And I put 100 million cells in his cisterna magna, in his lumbar cord, and filled out the IRBs and did all this work, and I never really knew.

Hopefully you can appreciate the device there curving through the patient's body and removing the patient's bone marrow, instead of with 200 punctures, with just a single puncture under local anesthesia.

Usually the hip (head of the femur), lower back (lumbar spine) or heel (calcaneum) are imaged, and the bone density (amount of calcium) is determined and given a number (a T score).

From a side view, the cervical (neck) region of the spine (C1 C7) is bent inward, the thoracic (upper back) region (T1 T12) bends outward, and the lumbar (lower back) region (L1 L5) bends inward.

The forensic examination was carried out shortly thereafter, and the cause of death was found to be a hypovolemic shock caused by a puncture wound to the neck caused seemingly by a cutting instrument.
