words only definitions & notes
  1. vallecula
    any furrow or channel on a bodily structure or part
    Then, the WuScope was used with tip of blade placed into the vallecula, exerting slight tension on the glossoepiglottic mucous membrane; the epiglottis was raised, larynx exposed, and trachea intubated.
  2. intubate
    introduce a cannula or tube into
    Then, the WuScope was used with tip of blade placed into the vallecula, exerting slight tension on the glossoepiglottic mucous membrane; the epiglottis was raised, larynx exposed, and trachea intubated.
  3. epiglottis
    a flap of cartilage that covers the windpipe while swallowing
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique
  4. radiography
    photography that uses other kinds of radiation than visible light
    In our practice, we have been using cervical soft tissue radiography and WuScope (Achi Corporation, Fremont, CA) in evaluating and managing similar airway problems.
  5. radiograph
    a photographic image produced on a radiosensitive surface by radiation other than visible light (especially by X-rays or gamma rays)
    Figure 1 is the radiograph of such a patient.
  6. computed tomography
    a method of examining body organs by scanning them with X rays and using a computer to construct a series of cross-sectional scans along a single axis
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique, are interesting and different from traditional teachings.
  7. mechanical advantage
    the ratio of the force exerted by a machine to the force applied to it
    In our view, Kanaya et al.’s (1,2) two-person intubation technique aims at overcoming the inherent deficiency of a flexible fiberscope by supplying the mechanical advantage of a rigid blade.
  8. oral cavity
    the opening through which food is taken in and vocalizations emerge
    As seen from the radiograph, the greater rostrocaudal separation of mandible and hyoid (longer MHD) renders a large portion of the tongue mass to situate in the confined neck trunk instead of the oral cavity, thus creating a long and narrow airway passage to the larynx.
  9. tomography
    (medicine) obtaining pictures of the interior of the body
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique, are interesting and different from traditional teachings.
  10. pharyngeal
    of or relating to the throat
    When the patient is upright or awake, there may be adequate air space between the epiglottis and posterior pharyngeal wall (Fig. 1).
  11. larynx
    the structure containing the vocal cords
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique, are interesting and different from traditional teachings.
  12. laryngoscope
    a medical instrument for examining part of the throat
    The rigid tubular fiberoptic, one-person operated WuScope is in fact such a combination laryngoscope that creates space and raises or picks up the epiglottis.
  13. cervical
    relating to or associated with the neck
    In our practice, we have been using cervical soft tissue radiography and WuScope (Achi Corporation, Fremont, CA) in evaluating and managing similar airway problems.
  14. hyoid
    a U-shaped bone at the base of the tongue that supports the tongue muscles
    As seen from the radiograph, the greater rostrocaudal separation of mandible and hyoid (longer MHD) renders a large portion of the tongue mass to situate in the confined neck trunk instead of the oral cavity, thus creating a long and narrow airway passage to the larynx.
  15. anesthesia
    loss of bodily sensation
    Under general anesthesia, only the tip of the epiglottis could be seen with a conventional blade.
  16. ramus
    the posterior part of the mandible that is more or less vertical
    In our view, a further explanation to Kanaya et al.’s (1,2) findings can be provided based on the concept of long mandibulohyoid distance (MHD) (3) and large hypopharyngeal tongue (4) in patients with a relatively short mandibular ramus and/or caudally positioned larynx (5,6) and our understanding of difficult laryngoscopy (7).
  17. posterior
    located at or near the end of a structure
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique, are interesting and different from traditional teachings.
  18. airway
    the passages through which air enters and leaves the body
    In our practice, we have been using cervical soft tissue radiography and WuScope (Achi Corporation, Fremont, CA) in evaluating and managing similar airway problems.
  19. trachea
    a tube that conveys inhaled air from the larynx to the lungs
    Then, the WuScope was used with tip of blade placed into the vallecula, exerting slight tension on the glossoepiglottic mucous membrane; the epiglottis was raised, larynx exposed, and trachea intubated.
  20. three-dimensional
    involving or relating to three dimensions or aspects
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique, are interesting and different from traditional teachings.
  21. mandible
    the jaw in vertebrates that is hinged to open the mouth
    As seen from the radiograph, the greater rostrocaudal separation of mandible and hyoid (longer MHD) renders a large portion of the tongue mass to situate in the confined neck trunk instead of the oral cavity, thus creating a long and narrow airway passage to the larynx.
  22. tubular
    constituting a tube; having hollow tubes
    The rigid tubular fiberoptic, one-person operated WuScope is in fact such a combination laryngoscope that creates space and raises or picks up the epiglottis.
  23. supine
    lying face upward
    However, when the patient is supine and under general anesthesia, the large hypopharyngeal tongue weighs down on the epiglottis and against the posterior wall, diminishing the space permissible for the fibercord to pass through.
  24. mucous membrane
    mucus-secreting membrane lining all body cavities or passages that communicate with the exterior
    Then, the WuScope was used with tip of blade placed into the vallecula, exerting slight tension on the glossoepiglottic mucous membrane; the epiglottis was raised, larynx exposed, and trachea intubated.
  25. compute
    make a mathematical calculation
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique, are interesting and different from traditional teachings.
  26. dimensional
    relating to coordinates that determine a position in space
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique, are interesting and different from traditional teachings.
  27. mucous
    of or secreting or covered with or resembling mucus
    Then, the WuScope was used with tip of blade placed into the vallecula, exerting slight tension on the glossoepiglottic mucous membrane; the epiglottis was raised, larynx exposed, and trachea intubated.
  28. displacement
    the act of moving something from its natural environment
    Their findings of narrowing pharyngolaryngeal space, posterior displacement of epiglottis, and lowering of larynx, as well as their three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) evaluation method and two-person fiberscope-aided intubation technique, are interesting and different from traditional teachings.
  29. posit
    take as a given; assume as a postulate or axiom
    In our view, a further explanation to Kanaya et al.’s (1,2) findings can be provided based on the concept of long mandibulohyoid distance (MHD) (3) and large hypopharyngeal tongue (4) in patients with a relatively short mandibular ramus and/or caudally positioned larynx (5,6) and our understanding of difficult laryngoscopy (7).
  30. mechanical
    using tools or devices
    Moreover, the fiberscope lacks the mechanical means to raise or pick up the epiglottis.
  31. membrane
    a sheet of tissue that lines or connects organs or cells
    Then, the WuScope was used with tip of blade placed into the vallecula, exerting slight tension on the glossoepiglottic mucous membrane; the epiglottis was raised, larynx exposed, and trachea intubated.
