(12) Higher strengths of Nestogen which obligate greater urinary fluid are probably unsafe in a hot climate which induces considerable insensible losses of water.
(13) Five commercially available body-support systems used in the prevention of decubitus heel ulcers were objectively compared for their capacity to dissipate or decrease pressure concentration at the most prominent posterior aspect of the heel in bedridden, insensate patients.
(14) Soft-tissue coverage was the most frequent (56.3%) indication, followed by unstable wound, extensive bone loss, chronic osteomyelitis, insensate scar, loss of specialized tissue, and contour deformity.
(15) Insensible water loss (IWL) was measured in five premature infants, 1 to 4 days old, by multiple weighings on an electronic balance inside an incubator.
(16) Fluid intake was restricted and air humidity in the incubator was high in order to minimize insensible water loss.
(17) In a population having a biologic distribution of repellent protection period against mosquitoes, an inverse linear correlation was observed between repellent duration and insensible water loss.
(18) The numerous factors that influence insensible water loss make calculation of fluid management in the high risk infant even more challenging.
(19) With in 7 years he developed a progressive paralysis of the upper and lower motor neuron type and an insensibility of the inferior extremities.
(20) This insensibility was already acting in the third month of intrauterine life of the fetus.
Responsive
Definition:
(a.) That responds; ready or inclined to respond.
(a.) Suited to something else; correspondent.
(a.) Responsible.
Example Sentences:
(1) Intestinal dilatation seemed in all cases a response to elevated CO2 only.
(2) Direct fetal digitalization led to a reduction in umbilical artery resistance, a decline in the abdominal circumference from 20.3 to 17.8 cm, and resolution of the ascites within 72 h. Despite this dramatic response to therapy, fetal death occurred on day 5 of treatment.
(3) Furthermore, it had early diagnostic (seven days) as well as prognostic value, as revealed by response to therapy and decrease in COA titer.
(4) Patients with papillary carcinoma with a good cell-mediated immune response occurred with much lower infiltration of the tumor boundary with lymphocyte whereas the follicular carcinoma less cell-mediated immunity was associated with dense lymphocytic infiltration, suggesting the biological relevance of lymphocytic infiltration may be different for the two histologic variants.
(5) Age difference did not affect the mean dose-effect response.
(6) These channels may, at least in some cases, be responsible for the generation of pacemaker depolarizations, thereby regulating firing behaviour.
(7) Oxyhaemoglobin (4 microns at 0.35 ml.min-1) infused into the tracheal circulation almost abolished the responses to bradykinin and methacholine.
(8) Three categories of UV response have been identified.
(9) LHRH therapy leads to higher plasma LH levels and a lower FSH in response to an intravenous LHRH test.
(10) Bronchial challenge caused an immediate asthmatic response.
(11) Clinical signs of disease developed as early as 15 days after transition to the experimental diets and included impaired vision, decreased response to external stimuli, and abnormal gait.
(12) The telencephalic proliferative response has been studied in adult newts after lesion on the central nervous system.
(13) The combined immediate and delayed responses to fleas in the dog are as observed by other investigators in man and guinea pigs.
(14) In addition, this pretreatment protocol did not modify the recipient immune response against B-lymphocyte alloantigens which developed in unsuccessful transplants.
(15) In dogs, cibenzoline given i.v., had no effects on the slow response systems, probably because of sympathetic nervous system intervention since the class 4 effects of cibenzoline appeared after beta-adrenoceptor blockade.
(16) As a consequence, similar response curves were obtained for urine specimens containing morphine or barbiturates.
(17) At the early phase of the sensitization a T-cell response was seen in vitro, characterized by an increased spleen but no peripheral blood lymphocyte reactivity to T-cell mitogens at the same time as increased reactivity to the sensitizing antigen was detected.
(18) The ability of azelastine to influence antigen-induced contractile responses (Schultz-Dale phenomenon) in isolated tracheal segments of the guinea-pig was investigated and compared with selected antiallergic drugs and inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism.
(19) With aging, the blood vessel wall becomes hyperreactive--presumably because of an augmented vasoconstrictor and a reduced vasodilator responsiveness.
(20) Treatment termination due to lack of efficacy or combined insufficient therapeutic response and toxicity proved to be influenced by the initial disease activity and by the rank order of prescription.
