Cricoid pressure results in compression of the postcricoid hypopharynx: the esophageal position is irrelevant.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Sellick described cricoid pressure (CP) as pinching the esophagus between the cricoid ring and the cervical spine. A recent report noted that with the application of CP, the esophagus moved laterally more than 90% of the time, ... Read more...

Degrees of tolerance in post-traumatic orbital volume correction: the role of prefabricated mesh.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To identify factors influencing the volumetric correction of orbital fractures, and evaluate the use of prefabricated titanium mesh in their repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included patients with unilateral orbital fractures and floor or ... Read more...

Role of p38 MAPK pathway in induction of iNOS expression in neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to assess the role of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in the induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and the production of NO by neutrophils (polymorphonuclear ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Reference Values'

Definition: The range or frequency distribution of a measurement in a population (of organisms, organs or things) that has not been selected for the presence of disease or abnormality.

Descriptor UI: D012016

Online Note: use REFERENCE VALUES to search NORMAL VALUES 1977-79

History Note: 80; was NORMAL VALUES 1977-79

Technical Notes: never IM; no qualif; differentiate from REFERENCE STANDARDS: REFERENCE VALUES = range or frequency distribution of a measurement, REFERENCE STANDARDS = basis of value or standard for a measurement
