What's the difference between cartilage and thyrotomy?
Cartilage
Definition:
(n.) A translucent, elastic tissue; gristle.
Example Sentences:

(13) These observations suggest that the function of BMG is to evoke mesenchymal cell differentiation into prechondroblasts during the latent or migratory morphogenetic phase while the effect of the culture medium is to provide the bionutritional requirements for synthesis of hyaline cartilage matrix by chondrocytes during the patent phase of development.
(14) The cartilage of the concha is a valuable substitute of the bridge and the posterior wall of the external auditory conduct.
(15) the synovium has a) a direct, presumably enzymatic action on cartilage matrix and b) an indirect effect mediated through the chondrocytes.
(16) New insights into the biochemical and cell-biological alterations occurring in articular cartilage during the early phase of osteoarthrosis (OA) have been gained in the past decade by analysing experimentally induced osteoarthrosis in animals, mostly dogs and rabbits, while early phases of OA in humans so far have escaped diagnostic evaluation.
(17) The use of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the cyanogen bromide derived peptides from fibrous cartilage collagens enabled to calculate type I to type II collagen ratio in this tissue.
(18) After transplantation chondrocytes from regenerated cartilage reconstructed cartilage in one out of ten transplants.
(19) Chemically isolated separate preparations of the non-aggregating protein-chondroitin-keratin sulphate (PCKS) fraction from the hyaline cartilage and hyaluronic acid (HUA) of the vitreous body and of the umbilicus were investigated by electron microscopy.
(20) Standard methods of glycosaminoglycan separation were used to confirm the presence of hyaluronic acid in sheep and rabbit articular cartilage.
Thyrotomy
Definition:
(n.) The operation of cutting into the thyroid cartilage.
Example Sentences:
(1) The authors identify the respective place held by such techniques as thyrotomy associated with internal subperichondrial degloving and partial vertical laryngectomy with cartilage resection, and its many variants, and partial horizontal subcricoid laryngectomy (of the cricohyoepiglottopexy-type).
(2) Ten patients were treated by microsurgical arytenoidectomy through a mid-line thyrotomy, with successful decannulation in only three.
(3) We call this approach a supero-lateral thyrotomy, to differentiate it from the classic lateral pharyngotomy.
(4) In 12 cases (66.6%) surgical excision was performed by means of an extralaryngeal approach, median thyrotomy was used in 2 cases (11.1%).
(5) An arytenoidectomy is recommended by a thyrotomy approach without lateralization of the vocal cord.
(6) At 2 months of age the cyst was successfully excised via a paramedian thyrotomy, and tracheotomy avoided.
(7) Management consisted of midline vertical thyrotomy with anterior cricoid splitting, excision of the subglottic tumor and temporary stenting of the lumen with a siliconized tube.
(8) At two months of age the cyst was successfully excised by a paramedian thyrotomy via an external cervical approach, avoiding tracheostomy.
(9) The laryngopyocele was confirmed by thyrotomy after the previous direct laryngoscopy awaken the suspicious either a malignant grown or a cancer with a laryngocele association.
(10) In 7 cases with severe stenoses we performed a complete cricotomy and thyrotomy.
(11) Two of the 11 children who were successfully decannulated required laryngotracheoplasty or thyrotomy.
(12) For success in the airway and voice results, the salient points in surgery include 1) precise midline thyrotomy, 2) shaping of the vocal cord under fiberoptic control, and 3) mucosa grafting with the combined use of a pliable stent or fibrin glue for fixation.
(13) The laryngocele was treated by extramucous lateral thyrotomy and the carcinoma removed through subtotal thyroidectomy.
(14) No local recurrences were observed among 42 patients who underwent thyrotomy and cordectomy when the tumor was confined to the middle third of the mobile true vocal cord.
(15) Ipsilateral thyrotomy or subtotal thyroid lobectomy continues to be a potentially curative procedure for hyperparathyroidism when there is a missing and presumably diseased superior or inferior gland.
