(11) In this study we introduce a non-invasive sonographic method called "introital sonography" which enables concomitant urodynamic measurements for evaluating the bladder function.
(12) Hence, there is introital or entry dyspareunia, vestibular erythema of varying degrees, and localized tenderness confined to the vulvar vestibule.
(13) There was no difference in introital carriage of enterobacteria before during or after tetracycline therapy.
(14) Introital colonisation was heavier and more frequent in the patients than in the control subjects.
(15) To determine if antibiotics used in the treatment of urinary infections alter introital gramnegative carriage after termination of therapy we analyzed 254 cultures obtained between episodes of bacteriuria in 14 women with recurrent urinary infections.
(16) Escherichia coli introital colonization and urinary tract infection were both significantly more frequent among women with a high vaginal fluid pH, an absence of vaginal lactobacilli, or an abnormal vaginal fluid gas-liquid chromatographic pattern characteristic of bacterial vaginosis.
(17) A vaginal introital transverse diameter of greater than 4 mm was more prevalent among children in Group I (94%) than in Group II, (5%); or in Group III (0%) (chi 2, p less than .001).
(18) We therefore studied 242 females, ages 1 through 12 years, to determine if the vaginal introital diameter is useful in evaluating a child for sexual abuse.
(19) Eighty-eight percent of children who complained of penile-vaginal penetration had a vaginal introital diameter greater than 4 mm as compared to 18% of children with no penetration (chi 2, p less than .001).
(20) Two women complained of a vaginal discharge due to hair at the vaginal vault, two women developed postoperative haematomas and one experienced introital stenosis.
Intromit
Definition:
(v. t.) To send in or put in; to insert or introduce.
(v. t.) To allow to pass in; to admit.
(v. i.) To intermeddle with the effects or goods of another.
Example Sentences:
(1) Clonidine-evoked dose-dependent decrements in the number of males mounting, intromitting and ejaculating, with administration into the medial preoptic area more effective than into the 3rd ventricle.
(2) In contrast, among the castrates with testosterone clamped at low but stable levels, the proportion of males that mounted, intromitted, or ejaculated was not affected by photoperiod.
(3) The lowest dose of apomorphine (0.2 microgram) infused into the ventricle reduced the number of ejaculations, slowed the rate of intromitting and decreased the percentage of mounts on which the male gained vaginal intromission.
(4) In tests with stimulus females, significantly fewer E-treated castrates displayed, neck-gripped, and intromitted than did intact males.
(5) Instead, estradiol treatment tended to interfere with the capacity to intromit.
(6) The highest dose selectively abolished mounting, intromitting and ejaculating in sexually experienced male rats paired with an oestrous female.
(7) A significantly higher proportion of males receiving 21 or 24 hr of daily T exposure mounted, intromitted and ejaculated compared to groups with daily T exposures of 18 hr or less.
(8) The facilitation and inhibition of infanticide as a function of time after mating is mediated by the act of ejaculating rather than by mounting and intromitting during mating or by cohabiting with a female either before or after mating.
(9) However, intromission latencies increased and 7 out of 10 males failed to intromit during some post-lidocaine tests.
(10) Four of the five individuals in the group given R1881 showed occasional mounts with thrusts, three showed sporadic erections and one sheep intromitted in the final test.
(11) In Experiment 3 scopolamine, injected alone into the preoptic area, again decreased the percentages of animals mounting, intromitting, and ejaculating.
(12) Allowing the male to mount (but not intromit) a female whose vagina had been taped partially counteracted the behavioural effect of beta-endorphin.
(13) However, the female mating pattern was significantly altered in that although females in both lesion groups initially allowed a stud male to mount, they usually did not allow the male to intromit.
(14) Prolactin-injected animals had significantly reduced intromission rates (P less than 0.01) and significantly increased latencies to mount (P less than 0.05) and to intromit (P less than 0.01) when compared to vehicle-injected controls.
(15) Thus, one-half of the treated rats failed to intromit and ejaculate, and those displaying the behaviors exhibited elongated intercopulatory and postejaculatory intervals.
(16) Most rats treated with higher doses of NPY (0.02, 0.12, or 0.47 nM) mounted and intromitted only a few times before the cessation of sexual activity, and elongated latencies to the initial mount and intromission were observed.
(17) Prenatal nicotine decreases male sexual behavior as measured by the number of males that mounted, intromitted or ejaculated.
