| Bougienage was defined as advancement of a bougie dilator from the mouth to the stomach in an upright, nonsedated patient. |
|
| The hypoglossal and glossopharyngeal nerves innervate pharyngeal dilator muscles. |
|
| Suppression of motor output to pharyngeal dilator muscles during non-REM and REM sleep promotes airway closure. |
|
| Upper airway patency during sleep is determined, in part, by the tonus of pharyngeal dilator muscles. |
|
| The dilator is designed to provide a gentle expanding force to the nasal wall tissue when the dilator is adhesively attached to the nose. |
|
| Pupillary size is controlled by the action of the constrictor and dilator smooth muscles of the iris. |
|
| The halecostomes, of which Amia is an example, have an opercular dilator muscle originating on the mandible which opens the operculum. |
|
| The dilator is removed and the nasogastric tube placed through the gastrojejunostomy and into the Roux limb. |
|
| Fifteen to 20 minutes later, after use of a nebulized bronchial dilator, the patient had acquired a measure of control over his breathing. |
|
| They are counterbalanced by the traction and stiffening of UA tissues resulting from the contraction of dilator muscles. |
|
| The constrictor muscle is supplied by the parasympathetic nervous system, and the dilator by the sympathetic nervous system. |
|
| However, the majority of bed partners reported a mild reduction in snoring when their spouse used the nasal dilator. |
|
| The nasal dilator functions by increasing the area of the nasal passages, therefore decreasing resistance to airflow during nasal breathing. |
|
| Nitric oxide, a principle physiological dilator, produces local vasodilatation and inhibits platelet adherence and aggregation. |
|
| The main finding of this study was that the objective measurements of snoring and apneas during sleep were almost unaffected by the Nozovent nasal dilator. |
|
| Thus, a drug like pilocarpine not only activates the constrictor muscle but actively inhibits the dilator. |
|
| The universal handle can be attached to the dilator you wish to use by using a turn and click action. |
|
| The patient controls the amount of time that the dilator is left in place and the movement of the dilator. |
|
| The dilator set is recommended for women with medical conditions that result from an operation or radiotherapy. |
|
| O'Kroy and the team of researchers found no significant differences between the placebo and the active nasal dilator regarding the total work of breathing. |
|
|
|
| Its positive benefits are that it is a social stimulant and a potent dilator of the bronchial muscles, so it is important in the treatment of asthma. |
|
| The osmotic dilator should be held in place for several seconds to reduce expulsion. |
|
| A dilator set is designed to be used over the course of several weeks or months. |
|
| Losing the nasal dilator during sleep was documented by the patients. |
|
| Advance the Introducer Sheath with dilator until the radiopaque marker on the end of the sheath is at the level of the most caudal renal artery. |
|
| This makes the transition to a larger dilator more comfortable. |
|
| The dilator is slightly tapered with the diameter at the handle of a given dilator being slightly larger than the diameter at the tip of the dilator one size up. |
|
| Clenbuterol is a bronchial dilator similar to the asthma drug salbutamol, which assists the breathing and oxygen transportation and can also be used to help weight loss as it increases the rate at which fats are metabolised. |
|
| If a woman has an intact hymen before the dilator is inserted, the membrane can stretch around it or become partially or fully detached, which can also happen when using tampons. |
|
| The piercing-sucking mouthparts require protractor and retractor muscles for insertion and withdrawal of each stylet, and dilator muscles to enlarge the sucking pump cavity. |
|
| Definition: Conditions which affect the structure or function of the pupil of the eye, including disorders of innervation to the pupillary constrictor or dilator muscles, and disorders of pupillary reflexes. |
|
| Upper airway collapsibility may reflect the impaired function of upper airway dilator muscles such as the genioglossus muscle. |
|
| The forward portion of the uvea, the ciliary body and iris, is more complex, containing as it does the ciliary muscle and the sphincter and dilator of the pupil. |
|
| This is a unique broncho dilator that patients need to take two puffs of once daily. |
|
| The cannula was removed with the guidewire in situ and the dilator was advanced to create a track. |
|
| This continues until the female superior position, practiced first with the largest dilator, is reproduced at home by intercourse. |
|
| Insert dilator completely, then advance Introducer Sheath until the radiopaque marker on the end of the sheath is just above the desired location. |
|
| If so, the planned use of measures such as the utilization of iris hooks, iris dilator rings, or the use of viscoelastic devices such as Healon 5 can minimize the potential consequences of this syndrome. |
|
| Retrograde pyelogram confirmed that the dilator was appropriately placed in the renal pelvis. |
|
| The dilator muscle of the iris is activated by sympathetic nerve fibres. |
|
|
|
| The sphincter muscle of the iris is a circular muscle that constricts the pupil in bright light, whereas the dilator muscle of the iris expands the opening when it contracts. |
|
| The osmotic dilator should traverse both the internal and external os. |
|
| The gauze and osmotic dilator are removed. |
|
| Both propofol and opioids have been shown to suppress central tonic outflow to the genioglossus muscle, which is the primary airway dilator. |
|
| Intra-arterial promethazine did not block the forearm arteriolar dilator response of intravenous morphine, but the alpha-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine did. |
