It has been proposed that partial fundoplication is associated with less incidence of postoperative dysphagia and consequently is more suitable for patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and impaired esophageal body motility.
Oesophageal body motility was investigated with ten water swallows of 5 ml at 30-second intervals.
An understanding of their biomechanical properties is critical to assess their capability for maintaining normal body motility while preventing injury.
The states of active, quiet and indeterminate sleep were established by observed concordance between body motility, eye movements and cardio-respiratory patterns throughout video-polygraphic recording.
Mfs motility scores (viability) were done on a scale of 0 (immotile), through 0.25 (only tail or head shaking occasionally), through 0.5 (whole body motile, but sluggishly or with difficulties), to 1 (almost vigorous to vigorous motility).
Mfs motility reduction (viability reduction) were done on a scale of 100% (immotile), through 75% (only tail or head shaking occasionally), through 50% (whole body motile, but sluggishly or with difficulties), to 25% (almost vigorous) to 0% (fully vigorous motility).
Young, Iris Marion, "Throwing Like A Girl: A Phenomenology of Feminine Body Comportment Motility and Spatiality", Human Studies, 3, 137-156, April 1980.
At the end of the chapter on "The Spatiality of One's Own Body and Motility," Merleau-Ponty writes, "Bodily experience forces us to acknowledge an imposition of meaning, which is not the work of a universal-constituting consciousness, a meaning which clings to certain contents.
Gross abnormalities (motility, body shape, etc).
This pathogen is non-motile at body temperature, and a connection between motility and virulence is well-documented [ 116, 117].
16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis groups A. dehalogenans together with the myxobacteria, which have distinguishing characteristics including strictly aerobic metabolism, sporulation, fruiting body formation, and surface motility.
