Cessation
Definition:
(n.) A ceasing or discontinuance, as of action, whether temporary or final; a stop; as, a cessation of the war.
Example Sentences:

(3) Because of these different direct and indirect actions, a sudden cessation of sinus node activity or sudden AV block may result in the diseased heart in a prolonged and even fatal cardiac standstill, especially if the tolerance to ischemia of other organs (notably the brain) is decreased.
(4) In the case of the reticulum cell sarcoma, the tumor had not reappeared in some of the animals two months after cessation of treatment.
(5) These results suggest that a lowered basal energy expenditure and a reduced glucose-induced thermogenesis contribute to the positive energy balance which results in relapse of body weight gain after cessation of a hypocaloric diet.
(6) These results suggest that weight change during smoking reduction and cessation may be primarily due to changes in factors other than caloric intake or activity.
(7) After cessation of exposures, HEVal was lost faster than predicted by the normal erythrocyte life span alone.
