Incisional biopsy is the surgical opening to remove a portion of the organ or tissue.

Sufficient saline solution must be available during biopsy procedures. Which of the following is a function of the saline solution during biopsy procedures?

Core needle biopsy samples give limited information about the tumor.

Determine the shear lag factor U for a L6 x 6 x 3/8 consisting of A36 steel with two longitudinal welds of length L = 8 in. and one transverse weld.

Determine the nominal strength for the following PL 7/8 x 9 plate of A36 steel with two holes for 5/8-inch-diameter bolts. Assume a = 1 in., b = 3.5 in., and c = 2 in.

Determine the shear lag factor U for a L6 x 6 x 7/8 consisting of A36 steel with two longitudinal welds of length L = 10 in. and one transverse weld.

Local anesthesia can be used to minimize pain during direct arthrography.

Determine the smallest net area for the following PL 7/8 x 10 plate with three holes for 5/8-inch-diameter bolts. Assume a = 1.5 in., b = 1 in., and c = 4 in.

Determine the net area for an L7 x 4 x 5/8 with two lines of 7/8-inch-diameter bolts in the long leg and one line of 7/8-inch-diameter bolts in the short leg. The bolts are not staggered.

When more than one failure pattern is conceivable, the one with the smallest load capacity should be used.
