(15) When compared with events in the hypoglossal nucleus accompanying innervation of denervated sternomastoid muscle by the hypoglossal nerve, the results suggest (1) that regeneration of the hypoglossal nerve to its own tongue muscle instead of to a foreign muscle caused no acceleration of recovery in the hypoglossal nucleus, and (2) that the microglial response is dependent on nerve integrity and not on bouton behaviour.
(16) This study reviews the cases of 49 patients with congenital muscular torticollis after an average follow-up of seven years, who were treated with subcutaneous sternomastoid tenotomy.
(17) The latency of these responses was short: about 7 ms in the sternomastoid and splenius and 9 ms in the trapezius muscles.
(18) Sternomastoid tumor (SMT), as part of the spectrum of muscular torticollis, presents in infants as a discrete mass lesion in the neck, typically unassociated with neck torsion.
(19) In the present study, the effect of these drugs on calcium currents (ICa++) in rabbit sternomastoid muscle fibers was examined.
(20) Qmax for the sternomastoid fibres was similar to that for other fast-twitch fibres when normalized by surface area rather than capacitance.
Sternum
Definition:
(n.) A plate of cartilage, or a series of bony or cartilaginous plates or segments, in the median line of the pectoral skeleton of most vertebrates above fishes; the breastbone.
(n.) The ventral part of any one of the somites of an arthropod.
Example Sentences:

(5) Upper thoracic fractures that involved the clavicles, scapula, sternum, and ribs were present in four patients.
(6) Abnormal radionuclide concentrations were observed in the sternoclavicular, sternocostal, and manubriosternal joints, in the ribs, and in the sternum.
(7) For the sternum, humerus and ilium-ischium, however, ossification in A2 fetuses increased to the levels observed in the PF and C groups.
(8) diastasis recti abdominis with pericardial hernia, ventral defect of the diaphragm, partial defect of the sternum, and tetralogy of Fallot.
