0 the state of being larger or more open than usual --
2 a change in the shape of a figure in which is it made larger or smaller according to a scale (= relationship of sizes) --
Reopening of the arterial duct occurred immediately after dilation in a patient aged eight years.
In room air the systemic arterial oxygen saturation improved to 81% immediately after balloon dilation.
When undertaking balloon dilation for pulmonary stenosis, 42% mentioned the possibility of surgery when treating infants, and 38% when treating older children.
For infants, when undertaking balloon dilation, 53% of centres discussed surgery for recoarctation, and 85% for primary coarctation.
Signals proposed for use in human-computer interfaces include skin conductance, heart rate, pupil dilation, and brain and muscle neural activity.
For example, examination of the eyes, without dilation of the pupils, may reveal only a cataract and not the maculopathy underneath.
In this case, dilation and contraction in the time domain may be equivalent to ascent (descent) and descent (ascent) in pitch.
At that time, aneurysmal dilation of the pulmonary trunk was confirmed, and she was treated with anti-staphylococcal antibiotics until the fever and rash disappeared.
