What's the difference between atabal and kettledrum?
Atabal
Definition:
(n.) A kettledrum; a kind of tabor, used by the Moors.
Example Sentences:
(1) The AtAb detection rate is higher in manifested intoxication than in moderate one or its absence.
(2) This plasmid loss was confirmed by repetitive extractions and electrophoresis, as well as by restriction endonuclease analysis of the ATAB preparations.
(3) The content of antithyroid antibodies (AtAb) in the blood of patients with Hashimoto's goiter was studied over time, namely during the treatment with thyroid drugs and after surgical interventions of different scope.
(4) These are resolvable by repetitive testing or restriction endonuclease analysis of ATAB-extracted plasmid DNA preparations.
(5) Content and formal aspects of Type A behavior pattern (TABP) were taking into consideration at the development of ATAB Questionnaire.
(6) Antituberculous antibodies (AtAb) were detected by the EIA method in 94% of pulmonary tuberculosis patients which was much higher as compared to the same parameter in healthy subjects (10.7%).
(7) Reliability of ATAB Questionnaire was assessed on two ways: by absolute stability and internal consistency.
(8) Friedman's and Rosenman's Structured Interview and Jenkins' questionnaire were not suitable for the studied population and it is the reason of the preparation of the Polish Questionnaire for the Assessment Type A Behavior Pattern for adults (ATAB Questionnaire, Form B).
(9) The patients' groups with diverse changes in the AtAb titers during the conservative treatment were revealed.
(10) Hence, AtAb detection by this method can serve as an additional criterion for tuberculosis diagnosis.
(11) AtAb are more often detected in chronic than in newly diagnosed tuberculosis, in the disseminated forms than in the limited forms, in pronounced infiltration in the lungs as compared to a moderate form, and also in patients with bacillary excretion than in those whose sputum had no M. tuberculosis.
(12) Each isolate was subcultured and stored at three different temperatures (-70 degrees C, -20 degrees C, and room temperature) and plasmid DNA was prepared from each subculture at 0, 1, 4, and 8 months by two different methods of plasmid extraction [using mixed alkyltrimethylammonium bromide (ATAB) or Brij 58 and deoxycholate (modified Parisi)].
(13) At the beginning of the period, hyperbaric oxygen at 3 ATAB was the standard treatment.
(14) The detection rate and AtAb level are higher in fibrocavernous tuberculosis than those in infiltrative tuberculosis.
Kettledrum
Definition:
(n.) A drum made of thin copper in the form of a hemispherical kettle, with parchment stretched over the mouth of it.
(n.) An informal social party at which a light collation is offered, held in the afternoon or early evening. Cf. Drum, n., 4 and 5.
