1. Directive 67/548/EEC method, Annex V.C.4-D (manometric respirometry): pre-adaptation is not to be used.

2. 14 It is possible that a dilated colon would generate only very low amplitude contractions that are not distinguished during manometric studies.

3. A manometric switch (14) arranged in the supply line (3) downstream of the adjustable choke (7) can supply a control signal to the switchgear (10).

4. A testing apparatus for in situ calibration of various types of pressure gauges (11) for the measuring of absolute pressure, manometric pressure or differential pressure.

5. 26 Objective:To study and introduce a new manometric method to determine the pressure during contraction and relaxation of isolated smooth muscle from trachea of guinea pig.

6. We report the case of a young man aged 20, following a gluten-free diet and presenting with coeliac disease and dysphagia, showing radiological, endoscopic and manometric signs of achalasia.
