Glidewire (one word) is the trade name of a guide wire (two words), so could be either!
It's ostiomeatal. See Vera Pyle.
Subject: It's ostiomeatal. See Vera Pyle.
ostiomatal: denoting the opening of the auditory, nasal, or urinary meatus; does not have anything to do with osteo (bone). Vera Pyle, Current Medical Terminology, 5th Edition.
The root word is ostium, which is certainly a word! It's in my Dorland's, and means: a door or opening; used in anatomical nomenclature as a general term to designate an opening into a tubular organ, or between 2 distinct cavities within the body. Called also orificuium, orifice, and opening.
Stedman's Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words, 3rd Edition, specifically lists ostiomeatal complex, stent, and unit.

it says - "the point in an an analysis at which the chemical reaction is complete, or at which the reading or intrepretation of test results is feasible".
also Google has it as: Lachman's test of the right knee. The examiner used the right hand to place anterior force on the lower leg while simultaneously using the left hand to place posterior force on the distal thigh. A good end point should be felt. Hands are reversed to test the left knee.

I was also corrected on using centimeters per second - I use cm/s but was corrected to cm/sec. Any help on these? Thanks!
