(5) When maximal isometric trunk flexor or extensor torques were imposed upon a maximal Valsalva manoeuvre, transversus abdominis activity and intra-abdominal pressure remained comparable within and across conditions, whereas obliquus internus, obliquus externus and rectus abdominis activities either markedly increased (flexion) or decreased (extension).
(6) In the same subject, also the ratio between the number of the muscle spindles found in m. rectus dorsalis and that of m. levator palpebrae superioris was examined.
(7) The most commonly used techniques, in our institution, are tissue expansion, use of the latissimus dorsi flap, and use of the transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap.
(8) Practoloo, USVC 6524 and Inpea produced a dose related inhibition of acetylcholine induced contractions of rectus abdominis muscle of frog.
(9) The effect of partial resection of the gyrus rectus during the unilateral pterional approach on surgical outcome was evaluated in 194 consecutive patients with ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms.
(10) Collection of EMGs of soleus, lateral gastrocnemius, vastus medialis and rectus femoris lasted for 200 msec after stimulation, which was triggered when the pedal was 56 degrees beyond top-dead-center.
(11) However, during both hypercapnia and PEEP, length changes of the external oblique were significantly greater than those of the rectus abdominis.
(12) Frequently, the medial rectus muscle must be recessed 10 nm or more and the lateral rectus muscle resected 10 nm or more to achieve this result.
(13) Parenteral nutrition with 50% triacetin and 50% LCTs promoted a positive nitrogen balance similar to that of 100% LCTs, increased protein in rectus muscle and liver, smaller and more numerous mucosal cells in jejunum and colon, and increased colonic mucosal weight compared with the other groups.
(14) The effects of age and endurance training on muscle fibre characteristics were studied in a slow (m. soleus, MS) and in a fast (m. rectus femoris, MRF) skeletal muscle.
(15) Fibers originating from riMLF DMLBs projected, usually ipsilaterally, to the NIC as well as in the inferior rectus and the superior oblique subdivisions of the oculomotor complex.
(16) We propose inadvertent excision of the lateral portion of the inferior rectus muscle during inferior oblique myectomy as the probable mechanism of inferior rectus injury.
(17) Essentially there is no influence of the HCN stimulation on bilateral superior rectus (SR), inferior rectus (IR), superior oblique (SO) and inferior oblique (IO) motoneurons.
(18) The rectus abdominis electromyogram recorded expiratory muscle activity during the expiratory pause; vagotomy markedly reduced it in upright dogs and it was undetectable in supine dogs.
(19) Brief periods of a rapid-eye-movement (REM) state characterized by phasic lateral rectus and diaphragmatic activity and absence of nuchal activity were recognized.
(20) The rectus abdominis musculocutaneous free flap, based on the deep inferior epigastric artery and vein, has been used widely in reconstruction of the breast and extremities.
Rictus
Definition:
(n.) The gape of the mouth, as of birds; -- often resricted to the corners of the mouth.
