What's the difference between bifurcation and qualitative?

Bifurcation


Definition:

  • (n.) A forking, or division into two branches.

Example Sentences:

  • (7) Although the most common pattern is for the right coronary artery to bifurcate at the crux giving the posterior descending (posterior interventricular) artery, a branch may arise before the crux, either as an aberrant acute marginal artery or as an early posterior descending artery, crossing the diaphragmatic surface of the right ventricle.
  • (8) The optimal geometry of the vascular bifurcation is interpreted on the basis of the principle of minimum work.

  • (10) Therefore, we believe the indications for femorofemoral graft should be broadened to include all patients with unilateral aortoiliac occlusive disease where anatomic conditions are favorable and there is unilateral occlusion of an aortic bifurcation graft.
  • (11) Some part of bifurcations of arterioles showed a prominent localized vasoconstriction, and occasionally showed a complete luminal obstruction.
  • (12) Aortic bifurcation grafts should be used to construct the distal anastomoses beyond areas of significant disease.
  • (13) Some axons bifurcated into an ascending and a descending branch within the funiculi.4.
  • (14) Perforation of the bifurcation was well tolerated without later sequelae.
  • (15) A 65-year-old woman experienced transient paralysis of the left arm immediately after palpation of the right carotid artery; at surgery, a friable, atherosclerotic plaque was removed from the bifurcation of the artery.
  • (16) A case of a basilar bifurcation aneurysm associated with common carotid artery occlusion is reported.
  • (17) The carotid injection technique was modified by catheter implantation in the external carotid artery at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery.
  • (18) Right and left jugular vein segments were isolated by surgical technique for a 3 cm length, which included the bifurcation of the vessel, and left "in situ".
  • (19) The key element of the system is the bifurcation: depending on whether bifurcations are considered as a single entity or as a whole, either "local" or "global" geometry is employed.
  • (20) Carotid angiography, which was conducted in all cases, revealed a richly vascularized tumor in the region of the carotid artery bifurcation with characteristic "angulation" and "cuff" signs.

Qualitative


Definition:

  • (a.) Relating to quality; having the character of quality.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In the presence of insulin, a qualitatively similar pattern of increasing responses to albumin is observed; the enhancement of each response by insulin is, however, only slightly potentiated by higher albumin concentrations.
  • (2) Crossed immunoelectrophoresis and sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation of the patient's plasma showed his prothrombin to be qualitatively indistinguishable from normal prothrombin by these techniques.
  • (3) elution patterns of the adducts formed by DBF metabolites with DNA and obtained in vivo at the optimal exposure time of 42-48 h were qualitatively very similar to the patterns obtained in vitro, but their amplitude was quantitatively reduced.
  • (4) In all cases foetal administration of glucocorticoid led to the onset of labour, and lambing, and in all animals the hormonal changes preceding parturition were indistinguishable (either qualitatively or quantitatively) from the changes observed in animals carrying intact lambs.
  • (5) No major qualitative differences have been detected in the mode of action of the two enzymes.
  • (6) Approaches have been worked out for the determination of qualitative composition of the mixtures and spectral parameters.
  • (7) A compact attachment for microscope-type instruments is described enabling to introduce, rapidly and qualitatively, minute biological speciments into melted embedding medium and ensuring the safety of optics.
  • (8) Qualitative and quantitative anaerobic cultures were performed on faecal samples from 27 normal full-term newborn infants; from 32 preterm infants during intensive or intermediate care, not treated with antibiotics; and from 106 mostly preterm newborns, treated with antibiotics for various reasons.
  • (9) Qualitative and quantitative comparisons between the short and the long time interval studies were performed by four experienced observers.
  • (10) The effects were atropine-resistant and qualitatively similar to those seen with cocaine.
  • (11) Qualitative planar 201-thallium (201Tl) scans, coronary angiography, or both were also performed (median between studies 11 days).
