Eyelid


Definition:

  • (n.) The cover of the eye; that portion of movable skin with which an animal covers or uncovers the eyeball at pleasure.

  • (6) Paralytic lagophthalmos was corrected using gold weights inserted into the upper eyelid.
  • (7) A simplified procedure is described whereby tissue is removed via a posterior eyelid approach so that the eyelid may be tightened both horizontally and vertically, thus inverting the punctum and fixating it in the lacrimal lake.

  • (13) Some birds were subjected to unilateral eyelid-suture, a protocol which usually induces axial lengthening and corneal bulging.
  • (14) Several procedures have been developed to restore closure of the paralyzed upper eyelid (implantation of gold weights or open wire springs) or to correct lower lid lagophthalmos and ectropion (lower lid tightening with a Bick procedure or insertion of a closed eyelid spring).
  • (15) We hypothesize that the lower overnight swelling with the silicone lenses is a result of reduced resistance to oxygen flow from the eyelid capillaries to the corneal epithelial cells possibly due to decreased tear film thickness.
  • (16) The pinch technique has been found to be useful in repairing cosmetic eyelid deformities.
  • (17) The administration of these drugs was followed within 2-3 minutes by oedema of the eyelids and epiglottis, reduced peripheral circulation and central cyanosis.
  • (18) The eyelids not only protect the ocular globe, but also keep it wet and transparent.
  • (19) There is evidence that these artifacts may be the result of a combination of eyelid electrical activity and resistance effects.
  • (20) Within 2 months following birth the infants had facial acne and edema, swelling of the eyelids, loss of facial hair including eyelashes, and hyperpigmentation of the skin.

Sty


Definition:

  • (v. i.) A pen or inclosure for swine.
  • (v. i.) A place of bestial debauchery.
  • (v. t.) To shut up in, or as in, a sty.
  • (v. i.) To soar; to ascend; to mount. See Stirrup.
  • (v. i.) An inflamed swelling or boil on the edge of the eyelid.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Thus, the estimation of the STI proved helpful and reliable in the early detection of incipient heart failure and in the selection of high risk patients in children receiving ADR treatment.
  • (2) Systolic time intervals (STI) of the right ventricle, however, were not influenced by the beam angle.
  • (3) Since 2007, MSF has opened family support centres and clinics around the country where survivors can access first aid, psychological treatment, HIV and STI medication, vaccinations and emergency contraception.
  • (4) Running speech was used as input signal and STI was calculated from the envelopes of the squared, noise-free speech signal and of the processed, squared, noisy signal in 23 critical bands.
  • (5) In studies in calcium-free tissue bath solutions, the direct contractile action of STI was abolished; however, its amplification of responses to norepinephrine remained, suggesting that this latter effect of STI is not entirely dependent upon calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle cells.
  • (6) In the saline groups there was a marked decrease in breaking strength at 24 and 72 h. Most of the strength was restored at 120 h. The metalloproteinase inhibitor tiopronin, which in a previous study had diminished the decrease in breaking strength at 24 h, was without effect at 72 h. Rats given STI, which is a group-specific serine proteinase inhibitor, had substantially higher values of breaking strength than saline-treated controls at 24 and 72 h. At 120 h no difference was found.
  • (7) STI and thiopental plasma levels were measured before induction and when corneal reflex and trapezius muscle response, indicators of anesthetic depth equivalent to response to surgical stimulation, were lost.
  • (8) This strain produced STI as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
  • (9) Heart rates, blood pressures and systolic time intervals (STI) were measured in relation to exercise tolerance and capacity.
  • (10) Now, however, STI are being used increasingly in clinical pharmacological studies.
  • (11) Incubation for 18 hours at 37 degrees C of the strain-producer (STI-1) and a double immunization scheme with the antigen obtained proved to be the most rational conditions for inducing the immunological response in the vaccinated laboratory animals.
  • (12) The accuracy of STI parameters in predicting the presence of coronary disease was poor (less than 60%).
  • (13) Although physiological variables other than myocardial contractility, such as preload and afterload may influence STI during +Gz the effects of +Gz on stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) were estimated using previously described relationships between STI and invasively determined indices of cardiovascular function.
  • (14) Impedance cardiography was used for non-invasive determinations of systolic time intervals (STI) and cardiac output.
  • (15) The data suggests that the usual therapeutic doses of these cardiac glycosides do not cause significant changes in the peripheral circulation in patients with compensated coronary heart disease, but their action on STI is quite marked, showing a positive inotropic effect.
  • (16) On each occasion, the heart rate, systolic time intervals (STI) and systemic arterial blood pressure were monitored non-invasively.
  • (17) STI and DTI were measured from the simultaneous recordings of the apexcardiogram, carotid arterial pulse, electrocardiogram and phonocardiogram.
  • (18) We used STI's as parameters of cardiac performance.
  • (19) Measurement of STI may be a valuable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac tamponade.
  • (20) In dogs with larger infarcts, STx, STy, and STM were significantly larger than in those with smaller infarcts both 15 min and 4 h after embolization.
