  • (imp. & p. p.) of Distress

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Perinatal mortality is strongly associated with obstetrical factors, respiratory distress syndrome, and prematurity.
  • (2) No respiratory-distress syndrome of the newborn occurred when total amniotic-fluid cortisol was greater than 60 ng per milliliter (16 patients).
  • (3) Early views of the Type A behaviour pattern (TABP) sought to disengage it from either neuroticism or emotional distress.
  • (4) Sleep alterations in addicted newborns could be related to central nervous system (CNS) distress caused by withdrawal.
  • (5) For many it had still a moderating effect on distress at the present but appeared to be mainly used out of "psychological dependence".
  • (6) Marie Johansson, clinical lead at Oxford University's mindfulness centre , stressed the need for proper training of at least a year until health professionals can teach meditation, partly because on rare occasions it can throw up "extremely distressing experiences".
  • (7) In contrast, the number of distressful childhood experiences reported was generally unrelated to empathy scores.
  • (8) The lavage model was considered suitable for reproduction of severe respiratory distress.
  • (9) Twenty-seven infants with respiratory distress and hypoxemia of noncardiac etiology were treated with tolazoline.
  • (10) A clearly recognizable relationship of SEH to gestational age and clinical status exists in that all SEH occur in premature infants under 2500 g birthweight (although only 56% of all premature infants have SEH) and 95% of SEH occur in infants with the respiratory distress syndrome (although only 60% of infants with the respiratory distress syndrome have SEH).
  • (11) Four hours after infusion, the animals displayed a clinical and pathological pattern which closely resembled post-traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome, including hypoxia, hypocarbia, thrombocytopenia, increased pulmonary capillary permeability to albumin, interstitial edema, hypertrophy of alveolar lining cells, and intra-alveolar hemorrhage.
  • (12) In turn, nursing strategies that are selected as a result of such theoretically based assessments are likely to be effective in preventing spiritual distress.
  • (13) There is no support in the system and it’s a very frightening and distressing situation to be in.
  • (14) Therefore, after head injuries we searched for C activation because it could result in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
  • (15) It has to be assumed that in calves with respiratory distress syndrome--in analogy to pulmonary immaturity--the blood clotting mechanism is not yet fully developed.
  • (16) At birth, the animals were in no distress but had mild pulmonary hypertension.
  • (17) If these recordings are repeated before or at the same time as other signs of fetal distress have been found we must think of pathological features such as intrauterine growth retardation, post-maturity, infections, rhesus incompatibility and diabetes.
  • (18) Sustained intubation (7 days) was necessary in only two infants because of developing respiratory distress as a result of prematurity or recurrent pleural fluid accumulation.
  • (19) Financial experts aren't immediately sure what to make of the report, but one theory is that the figure includes the 'profits' the European Central Bank has made by buying Greek debt at distressed levels since the crisis began: econhedge (@econhedge) suggestion that this is planned EUR31.5b+ECB profits.
  • (20) The results do not indicate any disorder in liver and muscle functions in prematurely born calves with or without respiratory distress syndrome.
