peer agreement (net): +1at the very core of Explanation: It is difficult, anatomically, to see how 'sinus' fits here. Is this possibly an expression similar to 'au sein de', suggesting that inflammatory mediators are at the very core of multiple organ dysfunction/failure. See URL below for use of 'seno' in this context. Reference: http://www.revistaespacios.com/a94v15n01/30941501.html |

ventral cavity Explanation: ...or ventral body cavity. It's hard to say without seeing more of the text, but I think 'seno' might just referring to the chest/torso. If you want a little more medical sounding term, this might do it. Or, you could be more specific since it's talking about the liver - perhaps abdominal cavity would work depending on the rest of the text. Here's a ref.: ...The cavities, or spaces, of the body contain the internal organs, or viscera. The two main cavities are called the ventral and dorsal cavities. The ventral is the larger cavity and is subdivided into two parts (thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities).... http://training.seer.cancer.gov/module_anatomy/unit1_3_termi... |
