What's that all about? The guy was 68 when he died in 1943 in hospital, so he'd had a good life, but what the hell does it mean???

If you google maximum of mouth, there is info availible!

That was the first thing I tried. Couldn't see anything coming up immediately on the first couple of pages - you get all kinds of rubbish come up! Still looking, but thought someone here might know a good link for meanings of various deaths.

I cant wait to find out. I keep thinking of a cartoon character with a pencil widthways. Hey 68 isnt old by the way. I have 5 generations of 90 year olds.

Liberty, please tell me, I have googled and cant find it either. But there is pages about a group called Smash my mouth or something

Hello, I would suggest that it says: Maximum a month. On death certificates the doctor usually says how long a person suffered from their final illness. Cheers

LOL, I can see that now! So what did Liberty have in mind (or mouth)

Did Lady Google 'Maximum by Mouth' with the '..'s to narrow the search criteria? It gives two hits. Chris

So what else is in the cause box? nell

Thanks people. It's terribly unclear writing, but I have it now on good authority that I have misread this and it should be 'Carcinoma of Mouth' which translates as Cancer of the Mouth. So there you go. And I thought it would be something interesting!

To be honest michael when i saw the title i thought it would be a woman and 'maximum of mouth' would be a gossip that would not shut up, shame it wasn't though....LOL ...MOE!

Hi Guys When I Googled -maximum by mouth I got following result, It looked like some medical term on first glance, didnt read it all as I had to go out! On reading it now it looks like some kind of test for coughs.....lol Cough gastric pressure and maximum expiratory mouth pressure in humans. Man WD, Kyroussis D, Fleming TA, Chetta A, Harraf F, Mustfa N, Rafferty GF, Polkey MI, Moxham J. Respiratory Muscle Laboratory, Guy's King's and St. Thomas' School of Medicine, King's College Hospital, London, UK. [email protected] Maximal expiratory mouth pressure is a well established test that is used to assess expiratory muscle strength. However, low values are difficult to interpret, as they may result from technical difficulties in performing the test, particularly in patients with facial muscle weakness or bulbar dysfunction. We hypothesized that measuring the gastric pressure during a cough, a natural maneuver recruiting the expiratory muscles, might prove to be a useful additional test in the assessment of expiratory muscle function. Mouth expiratory and cough gastric pressures were measured in 99 healthy volunteers to obtain normal values and in 293 patients referred for respiratory muscle assessment to compare the two measurements. Between-occasion within-subject coefficient of variation, assessed in 24 healthy volunteers, was 10.3% for mouth pressure and 6.9% for cough. Mean +/- SD cough gastric pressure for normal males was 214.4 +/- 42.2 and 165.1 +/- 34.8 cm H2O for females. In 171 patients deemed weak by a low mouth expiratory pressure, 42% had a normal cough gastric pressure. In 105 patients deemed weak by a low cough gastric pressure, 5.7% had a normal expiratory mouth pressure. Low maximal expiratory mouth pressures do not always indicate expiratory muscle weakness. Cough gastric pressure provides a useful complementary test for the assessment of expiratory muscle strength. PMID: 12857722 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Lib, now hiding in the corner.....lol
