nasopharyngeal cancer
Nasopharyngeal temperature was monitored continuously.
Nineteen of the patients had been treated for nasopharyngeal cancer.
The nasopharyngeal specimen was taken with a sterile cotton swab.
They also pointed out that patterns of cooling, as measured by tympanic, nasopharyngeal, and rectal temperatures, are variable.
Bottle feeding can be introduced during the phase of nasopharyngeal intubation, and this can be withdrawn for gradually increasing periods.
From each family member, a nasopharyngeal swab was obtained at initial home visit and followed by 9 further swabs at 4-week intervals.
In our model, the temperature in the nasopharynx corresponds closely with that of the brain, so references will be to nasopharyngeal measurements.
Alternatively, nasopharyngeal isolates of healthy children may be used to gauge the pattern of pneumococcal antibiotic-resistance in local populations.
