What's the difference between adduction and duction?

Adduction


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of adducing or bringing forward.
  • (n.) The action by which the parts of the body are drawn towards its axis]; -- opposed to abduction.

Example Sentences:

  • (17) Therefore, 2-AF:DNA adducts can be used as a differential end point with which to assess the relative roles of N-hydroxylation and peroxidation in the metabolic activation of 2-AF in cell culture and in target tissues in vivo.
  • (18) In the case of adducts with the diol-epoxides of benzo[c]phenanthrene, the energetically most favored structures are isomers with significant biological activity.
  • (19) Also, sodium borohydride reduction of the cDNA and PEI-HRP adduct crosslinked by the glutardialdehyde resulted in the stabilization of the probes.
  • (20) To determine whether the same bioactivation process occurs in whole animals, 3MI was administered to goats, mice, and rats, and the urinary metabolites from these three species were analyzed by HPLC for the presence of the mercapturate that would be expected as the processed and excreted form of the 3MI-glutathione adduct.

Duction


Definition:

  • (n.) Guidance.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This includes the clinical presence of diplopia, evidence of muscle entrapment with forced duction testing, and CT scan showing orbital wall fracture with explosion of the orbital contents into the paranasal sinuses.
  • (2) Semiconductor strain gauges mounted on the shanks of a custom machined eye forceps and an ultrasonic method of making continuous duction measurements of the eye have proved feasible.
  • (3) FD of observers with steep forced-duction curves increased with both the coarseness and eccentricity of fusion locks.
  • (4) Different types of restrictions have been described and the technique of forced duction testing reviewed.
  • (5) Four patients with no medial rectus contracture on forced duction testing were treated six months or longer after the onset of the palsy and none recovered full function.
  • (6) Vertical ductions were normal in each case and the maximal HD ranged from 8 to 16 prism diopters (PD) in 10 of 16 patients (62.5%) and from 4 to 7 PD in 6 of 16 patients (37.5%).
  • (7) Forced ductions are positive and surgical exploration confirms anomalous muscle structure.
  • (8) Operative decisions are taken after clinical and radiological study, being based above all on evaluation of the forced duction tests and upon frontal tomographies.

  • (10) Proptosis and ductional restriction subsequently developed.
  • (11) Versions, forced ductions, saccadic velocities, and diplopic field examinations were done.
  • (12) Diagnostic confirmation is obtained by forced duction testing and computed tomography.
  • (13) The stoppage of movement observed in young individuals in the MP articulation of the forefinger occurs under the effect of trauma, - under normal articular conditions, - on strongly flexed finger, under the effect of powerful ulnar duction.
  • (14) A mutation, pnt-1, causing loss of pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase activity in Escherichia coli, was mapped by assaying for the enzyme in extracts of recombinant strains produced by conjugation, F-duction, and P1 transduction.
