(n.) The common herring, esp. when of large size, smoked, and half dried; -- called also bloat herring.
Example Sentences:
(1) However, in 1969-70, dieldrin levels in fish from Lake Huron exceeded the 0.3 ppm tolerance level set by Health and Welfare Canada or the Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 5 percent of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) and 10 percent of bloaters.
(2) "Pink puffers" with breathlessness, hyperinflation, mild hypoxemia, and a low PCO2 are contrasted with "blue bloaters" with hypoxemia, secondary polycythemia, CO2 retention, and pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale.
(3) Profound transient nocturnal hypoxemia is common during REM sleep in "blue bloaters" with chronic obstructive lung disease, these patients having hypoxemia and CO2 retention when awake, when breathing air.
(4) Mortality was 2.08% and 12 animals were considered to be chronic bloaters.
(5) As the classic "blue bloater" with attenuated respiratory drive is described as being less dyspneic than his "pink puffer" counterpart, we wondered whether the variability in dyspnea and exercise tolerance in a group of patients with COPD with relatively similar degrees of air-flow obstruction might be partly explained by the variability in resting respiratory drives (unstimulated P0.1 and hypoxic and hypercapnic P0.1 responses).
(6) PCB residues declined in lake trout and lake whitefish caught in Lake Superior between 1971 and 1975, but increased slightly in bloaters and white sucker (Catostomus commersoni).
(7) The extremes of this spectrum, the "pink puffer" (PP) and "blue bloater" (BB) stereotypes differ in their degree of sleep hypoxemia and pulmonary hypertension.
(8) Hypoxemia and sleep quality can probably be improved by oxygen therapy in "blue bloaters," and this treatment can also reverse pulmonary hypertension in REM sleep.
(9) Treatment depends on the cause, and may vary from weight loss and nasal continuous positive airway pressure in obstructive sleep apnoea, to nocturnal oxygen in "blue bloaters", a combination of these two in the overlap syndrome, and long acting bronchodilators such as slow release theophyllines in nocturnal asthma.
(10) Mean PCB residues in bloaters caught in Lake Huron in 1969-71 and 1975-76, and splake (Salvelinus fontinalis and S. namaycush) and cisco (Coregonus artedii) caught in 1975 exceeded the 2 ppm tolerance level.
(11) Blue bloaters have severe nocturnal hypoxemia in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that is corrected by oxygen or the investigational drug almitrine.
(12) The effect of incentive breathing exercise was evaluated on patients of blue-bloater variety of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a controlled study.
(13) Clinical diagnosis is imprecise with no relationship between the extent of emphysema and either the "pink puffer" or the "blue bloater" types.
(14) Nitrite treatment enhances the direct-acting mutagenicity of various foodstuffs (e.g., chicken, bloater, the soybean flour 'kinako', and Ban-Ban-Chi sauce) on Salmonella typhimurium TA100.
(15) Patients with marked respiratory failure and with the clinical features of the "blue bloater" type of chronic bronchitis responded better to the home oxygen therapy than a group of "advanced pink puffers" with hypercapnia and high pulmonary arterial pressure.
(16) Long-term oxygen therapy is the only treatment known to prolong life in blue bloaters, and oxygen concentrators and transtracheal oxygen delivery are discussed.
(17) "Blue bloater" and "pink puffer" clinical types of chronic airway obstruction continued to reveal differences in airway pathologic features, but no longer revealed a major difference in the severity of emphysema at the time of death.
(18) By 1975, the mean level of sigma DDT had decreased in lake trout and was highest in bloaters (Coregonus hoi) from both lakes: 1.06 ppm and 1.87 ppm, respectively.
(19) By 1975, 50 percent of bloaters caught in Georgian Bay and North Channel had dieldrin levels above 0.3 ppm.
(20) Domiciliary oxygen therapy, given for at least 12 and preferably 16 hours a day, will prolong survival in patients with Type II respiratory failure ('blue bloaters').
