(19) Recent manometric and radiological studies suggest that the upper oesophageal sphincter has poor compliance in patients with a pharyngeal (Zenker's) diverticulum.
(20) Since pharyngeal colonization may be an important determinant in the pathogenesis of pneumonia, we studied the adherence of 10 different bacteria to pharyngeal cells obtained from nonsmokers, smokers, and chronic bronchitics.
Plosive
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The results indicate that the increased nasal resistance resulting from occlusion of one nostril does not appreciably affect pressure and airflow associated with plosive consonant production in patients with velopharyngeal inadequacy.
(2) The velar mechanism was perturbed by having subjects voluntarily lower the soft palate during a series of words involving plosive consonants.
(3) In addition, some qualitative differences in confusion patterns could be established: the perception of low-frequency information appears to be relatively important in compression limiting; the perception of plosiveness is less important.
(4) Our phonetic study of Bourouchaski shows that the homorganic plosives of this language cannot be distinguished by a specific difference in voice onset time (VOT).
(5) The subjects of tumour of the anterior part of the floor of the mouth had low overall scores, low scores for plosive and affricative sounds, and very low scores for sounds produced with the rear of the tongue.
(6) Sounds produced with the rear portion of the tongue were improved in 3 cases, and plosive and affricative sounds were remarkably improved in all cases.
(7) For normally hearing subjects shortening the silence duration of an intervocalic voiceless plosive induces a misperception of voicing.
