		Antonio Maria Valsalva was born in Imola to a distinguished and well-to-do family.
		Valsalva noted that motor paralysis is on the opposite side to the cerebral lesion both in stroke and in cases of cranial injury.
		Valsalva was an extremely skilled anatomist and pathologist, a fine physician, and an excellent surgeon for a quarter-century in the Bolognese hospitals.

		Antonio Maria Valsalva was born on June 17,1666 in Imola, Italy in a distinguished and well-to-do family.
		Valsalva observed that the serum produced by gangrene was so acrid that, after tasting it, its extreme sourness irritated the papillae of his tongue for an entire day.
		Valsalva was an extremely skilled anatomist and pathologist, a fine physician, and an excellent surgeon for over a quarter of a century in the Bolognese hospitals.

	The Valsalva Maneuver - Why So Many People Are Forced To Do It Everyday
		In a Valsalva Maneuver, attempting to exhale with the mouth and nose closed increases the pressure in the thoracic cavity because the air cannot escape.
		During a Valsalva Maneuver, with the holding of the breath and straining, the diaphragm is forced downwards by the increased pressure inside the thoracic cavity.
		The Valsalva Maneuver adversely affecting the cardio-vascular system is the causative factor of defecation syncope (fainting) and death.

	Valsalva maneuver Summary
		The Valsalva maneuver is a coordinated muscular movement that increases pressure in the Eustachian tubes and middle ears.
		The Valsalva maneuver may occur as a result of natural muscle movements during defecation, coughing, or gagging, or as an induced maneuver.
		Divers frequently use the Valsalva maneuver to counteract the effects of water pressure on the Eustachian tubes and to eliminate pressure problems associated with the middle ear.

	The Galileo Project
		Valsalva was responsible as well for improvements in medical education in Bologna.
		In 1687, immediately upon the completion of his degree, Valsalva was appointed Inspector of Public Health in Bologna, on the occasion of an epidemic, and about twelve years later, when there was an epidemic among cattle, the Senate of Bologna set him in charge of containing it.
		Valsalva is said to have been enrolled in the register of Bolognese physicians in 1687; I interpret this to mean the College of Medicine.

	Valsalva maneuver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medicine, the Valsalva maneuver is performed by forcibly exhaling against closed lips and pinched nose, forcing air into the middle ear if the Eustachian tube is open.
		This maneuver with slight modifications can be used as a test of cardiac function and autonomic nervous control of the heart or to ‘clear’ the ears (equalize pressure) when external pressure increases, as in diving or aviation.
		The technique is named for Antonio Maria Valsalva, the 17th Century physician and anatomist from Bologna, whose principal scientific interest was the human ear.

	Stuttering and the Valsalva Mechanism: Hypothesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The term Valsalva mechanism (after the Italian anatomist Antonio Maria Valsalva, 1666-1723) refers to those muscles that are neurologically coordinated for simultaneous contraction in the performance of a Valsalva maneuver, which may occur during many kinds of physical exertion (Carlson, Johnson and Cavert, 1961; Ardran and Kemp, 1967; Fink, 1973, 1975; Fink and Demarest, 1978).
		The triggering impulses might be sent to the muscle groups comprising the Valsalva mechanism (as well as to the oral structures that caused the closure of the upper airway) to stimulate their simultaneous contraction, so as to continue the increase of subglottal pressure.
		If tuning of the Valsalva mechanism does, in fact, interfere with the phonatory function of the larynx, then, conversely, it would seem to follow that tuning of the larynx for phonation might tend to reduce the excitability of the Valsalva mechanism in general.

		The Valsalva's maneuver was named after the Italian anatomist Antonio Maria Valsalva, who defined the Valsalva ligaments and anatomy related to the forcible exhalation effort against a closed glottis.
		Valsalva retinopathy occurs secondary to increased intra-thoracic or intra-abdominal pressure that is transmitted or transferred to the eye and its systems.
		Valsalva maneuvers occur from natural phenomena such as coughing, sneezing, vomiting, strenuous bowel movements and sexual intercourse.

	Valsalva, Antonio Maria - Talk Medical
		Valsalva described and depicted even the smallest muscles and nerves of the ear, subdividing the ear into its internal, middle, and external parts, and he showed an original method of inflating the middle ear (Valsalva maneuver).
		Valsalva coined the term Eustachian tube, one of the earliest eponyms known.
		Valsalva also has a place in the history of psychiatry for having been among the first to call for, and in part to implement, humanitarian treatment of the insane.

		You were probably taught that the Valsalva maneuver is a technique to equalize, or "pop" your ears.
		The technique originally described by Valsalva was to forcibly exhale against a closed glottis, by closing the vocal cord together, as in a cough.
		Either technique may increase pressure in the chest cavity, impeding venous return of blood to the heart, and because of that, is often used to study cardiovascular effects of decreased cardiac filling and output.

	Giovanni Battista Morgagni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He acted as prosector to Antonio Maria Valsalva (one of the distinguished pupils of Malpighi), who held the office of demonstrator anatomicus in the Bologna school, and whom he assisted more particularly in preparing his celebrated work on the Anatomy and Diseases of the Ear, published in 1704.
		Among his more celebrated pupils were Antonio Scarpa (who died in 1832, connecting the school of Morgagni with the modern era), Domenico Cotugno (1736-1822), and Caldani (1725-1813), the author of the magnificent atlas of anatomical plates published in 2 volumes at Venice in 1801-1814.
		Having finished his edition of Valsalva in 1740, he was taking a holiday in the country, spending much of his time in the company, of a young friend who was curious in many branches of knowledge.

		Valsalva maneuver: A maneuver in which a person tries to exhale forcibly with a closed glottis (the windpipe) so that no air exits through the mouth or nose as, for example, in strenuous coughing, straining during a bowel movement, or lifting a heavy weight.
		The Valsalva maneuver impedes the return of venous blood to the heart.
		Named for Antonio Maria Valsalva, a renowned Italian anatomist, pathologist, physician, and surgeon (1666-1723) who first described the maneuver.
