What's the difference between blocage and blockage?

Blocage


Definition:

  • (n.) The roughest and cheapest sort of rubblework, in masonry.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Secondary pathological alterations, such as irritative lesions and blocage of lymph and blood vessels, were found.
  • (2) Blocage of sodium channels with tetrodotoxin did not affect the asymmetrical displacement current.
  • (3) This is thought to be due to the precocity and the intensity of the increased intracranial pressure, in relation to the blocage of posterior venous drainage.
  • (4) A thermal adaptation exists but the fast increase of the temperature, in the presence of Ach, results in heart blocage, whose contractions reappear spontanously during cooling.

Blockage


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of blocking up; the state of being blocked up.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The blockage of the tubular system by the calcium oxalate deposits leads to a temporary reversible increase in serum urea and serum creatinine.
  • (2) Instead, we discovered that the size of the basal cisterns around the brain stem enabled us to predict blockage earlier and more reliably.
  • (3) In some of the rabbits, a rise in antibody Level occurred without appearance of weakness, while it is still likely that AChR antibody could be necessary for the induction of neuromuscular blockage.
  • (4) If beta-blockage does not cause lowering of aqueous humor secretion, in itself responsible for the maintenance of intraocular pressure, what is the mechanism of action?
  • (5) Other characteristics of the LHP that were demonstrated include: a lack of blockage by GABAA receptor antagonists, a probable voltage sensitivity (decrease in amplitude in the depolarizing direction), and an apparent brief onset latency (less than 10 ms) when the early IPSP was blocked by picrotoxin.
  • (6) Furthermore, cycloheximide administered prior to or along with ACTH resulted in the blockage of any new transcription of the cytochrome P-450(11)beta gene as evidenced from the level of RNA.
  • (7) Speculatively, the blockage by dbcAMP of the morphogenetic cascade in the co-cultured system may be related to the inhibition by dbcAMP of testis cord formation in organ cultures of fetal gonads reported by others.

  • (9) Blockage of these sites leads to aggregation patterns in which the side-by-side contacts of aggregating cells are abolished.

  • (11) These findings indicate alternative metabolic pathways may be operational in newborn rat brain enabling it to circumvent major blockage in thiamine-dependent reactions.
  • (12) Cultures incubated with 3.6 microM-cycloheximide for up to 9 h and supplemented with p-nitrophenyl beta-D-xyloside during the last 75 min of treatment showed increased synthesis of [3H,35S]chondroitin sulphate, demonstrating that UDP-hexose precursors for glycosaminoglycan synthesis are not rapidly depleted on blockage of protein synthesis.
  • (13) The difference was because of the high incidence of blockage of the stents causing recurrent jaundice, but the stents could easily be replaced.
  • (14) Despite a 30% rate of luminal blockage in stents retrieved after indwelling times up to 3 months, the incidence of clinical obstruction in stented tracts up to 3 months was 4%, confirming other reports that significant urine flow occurs around rather than through hollow, vented stents.
  • (15) This might indicate a toxic metabolic blockage in the transformation of monoiodotyrosine to diiodothyronine.
