(17) Further studies in pregnant women showed that PGE2 administered in special vaginal suppositories resulted in: 1) 1 case at the 23rd week of pregnancy, the expulsion of the dead fetus by inserting 2 suppositories (4 mg PGE2 each) with the induction delivery time of 2 hours 20 minutes, and 2) one case in which the expulsion occurred after 1 suppository with an induction delivery time of 4 hours 30 minutes.
(18) Maternal concentrations of DLIS increased significantly in the second half of pregnancy, peaked during labor, then decreased abruptly within 24 h of expulsion of the infant and placenta to values approaching the nonpregnant range.

(20) In diagnosis it is necessary to distin guish between unnoticed expulsion, ascent of the tail into the cavity, and perforation.
Exsiccation
Definition:
(n.) The act of operation of drying; evaporation or expulsion of moisture; state of being dried up; dryness.
Example Sentences:
(1) We studied the ultrasonographic and scintigraphic changes of thyroid gland of 81 goitreous patients before and after treatment with exsiccated thyroid.
