(n.) A foot of four syllables, the first and fourth short, and the second and third long (#).
Example Sentences:
(1) These data are evidence of a specific glycinergic interaction with putative antispastic agents and can explain some conflicting effects of memantine in experimentally induced seizures.
(2) The three patients have been observed for more than 1 year, during which time the antispastic activity of intrathecally infused baclofen has remained stable.
(3) After stressing the uncertainties of classifying the syndrome exactly and the part played by psychosomatism in its aetiopathogenesis, some forms of acupuncture have been attempted as alternatives to psychodrugs and antispastic substances.
(4) The results support the role of cyproheptadine as an antispastic medication.
(5) In 7 patients MI developed when antispastic agents were not used and in 2, when angina persisted even under treatment with calcium antagonist.
(6) The symptoms developed by the chemical destruction of the interneurones of the spinal cord, with rigidity and spasticity of the hind limbs, are suitable for testing antispastic drugs.
(7) The effectiveness of an antispasticity drug may be too subtle to be perceived subjectively and objectively.
(8) In about one third of patients with violent spasticity due to spinal trauma, multiple sclerosis, and diffuse brain injury adequate control with oral antispastic medication cannot be achieved and successful rehabilitation is severely handicapped.
(9) These results indicate that eperisone possesses the property of a Ca antagonist on smooth muscle tissues of the guinea-pig basilar artery, in addition to the action of antispastic agent, i.e., this agent blocks the voltage-dependent influx of Ca at the smooth muscle membrane, but not at the nerve terminals, and inhibits the action of Ca in cells through inhibition of the contractile protein.
(10) The present study underscores that neither baclofen nor tizanidine are ideal antispastic drugs, and emphasize the need for further research.
(11) The literatures of two antispastic drugs, baclofen and dantrolene sodium, were studied bibliometrically for their first decade and were found to be generally similar.
(12) Spasticity greatly interfered with their activity in daily life and was resistant to oral antispastic medications.
(13) We have studied the effect of isometheptene, an indirectly acting sympathomimetic with analgesic and antispastic properties, on secretin-cholecystokinin-stimulated pancreatic and biliary outputs.
(14) Although there were no statistically significant differences between the two drugs, the global assessment of antispastic efficacy revealed a nearly significant difference (p = 0.057) in favour of tizanidine and the global assessment of tolerability was also in favour of tizanidine.
(15) Intrathecal administration of antispastic medications allows high concentrations of drug near the site of action, which limits side effects.
(16) However, antispastic drugs are usually ineffective.
(17) A double-blind placebo trial was taken with Lioresal, and antispasticity drug acting on the spinal cord level.
(18) A genetically determined syndrome of spasticity in the rat permits the quantitative evaluation of the antispastic effects of drugs by recording activity in the electromyogram (EMG) from a hind limb extensor muscle.
(19) The antispastic efficacy of tizanidine was greater after 8 weeks than after 2 weeks, whereas the efficacy of baclofen decreased slightly with time.
