As the handle was repositioned back to midline, the distal segment of the blade broke off.
The peristaltic reflex was then activated by distending an intraluminal balloon in the proximal segment, whereas electrical and mechanical responses were recorded in the distal segment.
The distal segment could be moved into its ideal position and all patients achieved their ideal profiles.
Case Report: During a standard emergency intubation, insertion of the GVL® Stat into the patient's mouth resulted in breakage of the distal segment of the blade.
For each time point, a higher magnification is shown for the distal (segment 1 and 2, blue frame) and proximal (segment 3 4, red frame) regions of the fin.
The distal segment of the limb comprises the carpus, metacarpus, and phalanges in the forelimb and the tarsus, metatarsus, and phalanges in the hind limb.
A pair of antagonistic muscles span the leg joint and move the distal segment up or down, without reference to hydrostatic pressure.
The proximal portion of the quadratus lumborum had a mean optimal fascicle length of 8.5 (1.5) cm and the distal segment of this muscle had a mean optimal fascicle length of 5.6 (0.9) cm.
In a recent, more detailed comparative study it was shown, that significant variations in axial rigidity exist between the proximal and the distal segment of certain nails, and that more screw do not always lead to increased stiffness.
The vertical difference between the inferior borders of the PS and the distal segment at the vertical osteotomy line for SSRO after setback of the distal segment (vertical bony step, VBS) was the most predictable factor for CWR of the PS (p < 0.001), and it correlated significantly with the gonial angle, the surgical change in SNB, and the downward movement of the maxilla (p < 0.05).
The distal segment has 3 rather than the original six threads.
