Nouns denoting man-made objects.

Tolazoline is a vasodilator used to treat spasms of peripheral blood vessels, particularly in conditions such as acrocyanosis and Raynaud's phenomenon.
The emergency room doctor administered a dose of tolazoline to relieve the patient's severe case of blue fingers caused by cold-induced vasospasm.
Studies have shown that tolazoline can effectively reduce the symptoms of acrocyanosis by dilating the peripheral blood vessels.
To alleviate the symptoms of Raynaud's disease, the doctor prescribed a course of tolazoline to be taken orally three times a day.
Tolazoline is also used off-label to treat other vascular disorders, such as Buerger's disease, where it has been shown to provide significant relief from ischemic symptoms.
