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.
(8) Another potential cause of a blockage in the discussions was the future of Maria Eagle , the shadow defence secretary.
(9) Blockage of these sites leads to aggregation patterns in which the side-by-side contacts of aggregating cells are abolished.
(10) At necropsy, a stricture was found at the ileocecal junction that resulted in blockage and dilation of the ileum proximal to the stricture.
(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.
(16) Blockage of the balloon system was possibly caused by twisting the system to reach and pass the lesion in the branch of left circumflex coronary artery.
(17) Hysteroscopic hydrotubation may be an alternative treatment for tubal blockage.
(18) For H(+) ion blockage, a simpler model, in which H(+) enters the channel only from the bathing medium, is found to be sufficient.
(19) The pathological findings included intestinal stasis, intestinal blockage, acute intestinal rupture and intestinal rupture with peritonitis.
(20) Christmas 2013 caused 2,635 sewer blockages in Yorkshire alone.
