(16) These results suggest that haemorrhoids in patients with excessive activity of the internal anal sphincter are best treated by anal dilatation and that in all other patients rubber-band ligation is the treatment of choice.
(17) The use of day surgery gradually increased in some conditions (eg, termination of pregnancy, female sterilisation) but did not increase from a fairly low base for others (eg, inguinal hernia repair, operations on varicose veins and haemorrhoids).
(18) The results suggest that O-(beta-hydroxyethyl)rutosides provide a safe and effective treatment for women with haemorrhoids of pregnancy.
(19) Acute rectal distension and rectal activity, mainly through intramural pathways, induce reflex IAS relaxation, permitting the rectal contents to be sampled by receptors in the upper anal canal while continence is temporarily maintained by EAS activity and by expansion of the haemorrhoidal cushions.
(20) Sixty-two elderly patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy were screened for haemorrhoids before and after prostatectomy.
Hemorrhoids
Definition:
(n. pl.) Livid and painful swellings formed by the dilation of the blood vessels around the margin of, or within, the anus, from which blood or mucus is occasionally discharged; piles; emerods.
Example Sentences:
(1) The good efficacy and tolerability of a topical therapeutic preparation in first and second degree hemorrhoids have been convincingly demonstrated.

(3) The treatment of hemorrhoids includes a vast array of medical and instrumental means.
(4) The results indicate that persons with hemorrhoids have higher anal pressures than controls.
(5) The incidence of instrument-assisted deliveries (BC = 7, DT = 6), episiotomies (BC = 27, DT = 20), lacerations (BC = 17, DT = 5), and hemorrhoids (BC = 14, DT = 4) was similar between groups.
(6) There was no correlation between the anal manometric findings and the degree of hemorrhoids or duration of symptoms.
(7) In patients older than 40 with hemorrhoids a rectoscopy is always recommended.
(8) Complications of 5-ASA therapy were limited to hemorrhoidal irritation and local perianal injury.
(9) Strictures indistinguishable from the naturally occurring lesion were produced by injecting chlorpromazine into the cranial hemorrhoidal artery of three pigs.
(10) Absorption per se is influenced by the liposolubility as well as the ionization of the medication, and by the site of its release since only the middle and inferior hemorrhoidal veins avoid the hepatic crossing.
(11) Recurrent and severe hemorrhoid problems require specific treatment.
(12) Characteristic finding in internal hemorrhoids were the swelling in the anal canal, localized along 3, 7 and 11 hours of the clock dial in knee-elbow position of the patient.
