If a patient became sugar-free and blood sugar normal on a basal requirement diet, the caloric intake was gradually increased until sugar appeared in the urine. The tolerance was thus ascertained.

Skin cancer became personal to my family when my father was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma.

Use 'basal' to describe the foundational part of physical objects.

Physical Base

'Basal' can refer to the starting line or bottom level before ascending.

Starting Point

Use 'basal' to emphasize something is an absolutely necessary element.

Essential Quality

'Basal' indicates a quality or element is fundamentally important in several instances.

General Importance

'Basal' in biology can point to species ancestral to more derived existing organisms.

Evolutionary Ancestor

In biological context, 'basal' means primitive or not highly evolved.

Not Advanced

Use 'basal' in medicine to refer to fundamental physiological baselines or starting points.

Medical Basic Level

'Basal' can be used to talk about the minimum rate of energy expenditure in an organism at rest.

 hag-faced, animated zombie as a mechanism to model the symptoms and medical diagnosis process for various neurological conditions. For example, they spent time debating whether the zombie's stiff gait was caused by basal ganglia damage, like that in Parkinson's patients, or by severe damage to the cerebellum,

 will tell you that this is a kind of heretical thing to suggest. We have, from the time we are slapped on the butt until we take our last dying breath -- that's when we're newborn to when we're dead -- we cannot reduce our metabolic rate below what's called a standard, or basal metabolic rate.

 The gas stings Iris, and suddenly, she can't help it, she starts weeping uncontrollably. These reflex tears are different from the basal tears that Iris is used to. Because they're designed to wash away harmful substances, or particles, they're released in much larger amounts,

 that can generate, by themselves, very coordinated rhythmic patterns of activity while receiving only very simple input signals. And these input signals coming from descending modulation from higher parts of the brain, like the motor cortex, the cerebellum, the basal ganglia,

 The first thing I notice is how it moves. Stiff legged, with long, lumbering steps, very slow and awkward. Almost like what you'd see in Parkinson's disease. Maybe something's wrong with his basal ganglia? Those are a collection of deep brain regions that regulate movement,
