  • (14) The results suggested that the modified tyrosine residues responsible for the activation were not involved in the active site of pseudocholinesterase or aryl acylamidase and that they were more amenable for modification in comparison to the residues responsible for inactivation.
  • (15) Cor triatriatum dexter is rare and is infrequently diagnosed before postmortem study; however, once the diagnosis is extablished, the condition is amenable to a relatively simple surgical correction.
  • (16) Local ownership and opportunities for action Organisations that use data to effectively support improvement know that you often need to break it down to the local level to understand variation and make it amenable to action for staff.

  • (20) While many forms of male factor infertility are amenable to treatment, for some patients there is no corrective therapy available.

Responsible


Definition:

  • (a.) Liable to respond; likely to be called upon to answer; accountable; answerable; amenable; as, a guardian is responsible to the court for his conduct in the office.
  • (a.) Able to respond or answer for one's conduct and obligations; trustworthy, financially or otherwise; as, to have a responsible man for surety.
  • (a.) Involving responsibility; involving a degree of accountability on the part of the person concerned; as, a responsible office.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Intestinal dilatation seemed in all cases a response to elevated CO2 only.
  • (2) Direct fetal digitalization led to a reduction in umbilical artery resistance, a decline in the abdominal circumference from 20.3 to 17.8 cm, and resolution of the ascites within 72 h. Despite this dramatic response to therapy, fetal death occurred on day 5 of treatment.
  • (3) Furthermore, it had early diagnostic (seven days) as well as prognostic value, as revealed by response to therapy and decrease in COA titer.
  • (4) Patients with papillary carcinoma with a good cell-mediated immune response occurred with much lower infiltration of the tumor boundary with lymphocyte whereas the follicular carcinoma less cell-mediated immunity was associated with dense lymphocytic infiltration, suggesting the biological relevance of lymphocytic infiltration may be different for the two histologic variants.
  • (5) Age difference did not affect the mean dose-effect response.
  • (6) These channels may, at least in some cases, be responsible for the generation of pacemaker depolarizations, thereby regulating firing behaviour.
  • (7) Oxyhaemoglobin (4 microns at 0.35 ml.min-1) infused into the tracheal circulation almost abolished the responses to bradykinin and methacholine.
  • (8) Three categories of UV response have been identified.

  • (10) Bronchial challenge caused an immediate asthmatic response.
  • (11) Clinical signs of disease developed as early as 15 days after transition to the experimental diets and included impaired vision, decreased response to external stimuli, and abnormal gait.
  • (12) The telencephalic proliferative response has been studied in adult newts after lesion on the central nervous system.
  • (13) The combined immediate and delayed responses to fleas in the dog are as observed by other investigators in man and guinea pigs.
  • (14) In addition, this pretreatment protocol did not modify the recipient immune response against B-lymphocyte alloantigens which developed in unsuccessful transplants.
  • (15) In dogs, cibenzoline given i.v., had no effects on the slow response systems, probably because of sympathetic nervous system intervention since the class 4 effects of cibenzoline appeared after beta-adrenoceptor blockade.
  • (16) As a consequence, similar response curves were obtained for urine specimens containing morphine or barbiturates.
  • (17) At the early phase of the sensitization a T-cell response was seen in vitro, characterized by an increased spleen but no peripheral blood lymphocyte reactivity to T-cell mitogens at the same time as increased reactivity to the sensitizing antigen was detected.
