Indeed, models of coupled flagella involving hydrodynamically coupled semiflexible filaments (Gueron et al., 1997; Guirao and Joanny, 2007; Elgeti and Gompper, 2013; Yang et al., 2008) show a tendency towards metachronal coordination, though the precise role that flexibility plays in facilitating synchrony is unknown.
Thus, improving synchrony in one area (for example, triggering) can help facilitate achieving synchrony in other areas (for example, flow demand).
Comatose patients were mechanically ventilated and treated with propofol, fentanyl or dexmedetomidine to facilitate ventilator synchrony, with interruptions in sedation for clinical assessments at least twice daily.
This organization could facilitate bilateral synchrony and symmetry, either independently of or in concert with interactions between CPGs, by enabling the output of the jaw CPG on one side to activate jaw muscles on both sides.
Seeds were sown into flats with 2 inch 50-celled inserts using Sunshine #5 (Sungro, Agawam, MA) potting soil containing slow release fertilizer and stratified at 4°C for 4 days before being transferred into the greenhouse at either the University of Wyoming in Laramie (UWY) or the University of California at Davis (UCD) to facilitate germination synchrony.
Moreover, atracurium was used for neuromuscular paralysis to facilitate patient-ventilator synchrony in some patients.
But the speculation is, the cells are making use of this oscillatory synchrony to facilitate just what you're saying to facilitate that response.
Neuromuscular blockers are used in ARDS to improve patient-ventilator synchrony, to facilitate lung-protective ventilation, and to improve chest wall compliance.
For example, Canadian vaccine manufactures and regulators worked in synchrony to facilitate the timely introduction of the adjuvanted H1N1 influenza pandemic vaccine in 2009.
