What's the difference between catalepsy and fixation?

Catalepsy


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Catalepsis

  • (16) When the catalepsy score was almost maximal (60 s, measured by the bar-test), the rats were handled, exposed to cold (3 degrees C) or immobilized.
  • (17) A series of aryl-piperazine analogues of buspirone and other 5-hydroxytryptaminergic agonists were tested for their ability to reverse haloperidol induced catalepsy.
  • (18) MK-801 also potentiated the anticataleptic effect of scopolamine and bromocriptine against haloperidol-induced catalepsy.
  • (19) Striatal dopamine (DA) stores were only minimally depleted at the time of catalepsy potentiation.
  • (20) Catalepsy, measured by the duration of loss of righting reflex (DLRR) in catatonic animals, was induced by larger doses of both ketamine and morphine and in each case was reduced by a larger dose of naloxone.

Fixation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of fixing, or the state of being fixed.
  • (n.) The act of uniting chemically with a solid substance or in a solid form; reduction to a non-volatile condition; -- said of gaseous elements.
  • (n.) The act or process of ceasing to be fluid and becoming firm.
  • (n.) A state of resistance to evaporation or volatilization by heat; -- said of metals.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These results are discussed in relation to the possible existence of enzyme-bound intermediates of nitrogen fixation.
  • (2) The way how to apply this fixator is described in details.
  • (3) Good fixation was obtained in 4 cases using Steffee's devices.
  • (4) Eighty-eight patients (97%) had a stable fixation and 77 (85%) had resumed preoperative activity or were working but with a residual deficit.
  • (5) Internal fixation of these pathological fractures appeared to be the best treatment.
  • (6) In open fractures especially in those with severe soft tissue damage, fracture stabilisation is best achieved by using external fixators.
  • (7) To selectively stain polyanionic macromolecules of growth plate cartilage and to prevent artifacts induced by aqueous fixation, proximal tibial growth plates were excised from rats, slam-frozen, and freeze-substituted in 100% methanol containing the cationic dye Alcian blue.
  • (8) The fracture can be treated arthroscopically by rigid internal fixation, while at the same time treating possible associated lesions.
  • (9) Total excision and immediate reconstruction were done with alloplastic material fixated with microplates and screws.
  • (10) These antibodies are usually characterized by the conventional platelet complement fixation test.
  • (11) Viruses isolated from ticks (Ixodes uriae) from a seabird colony on the Isle of May, Scotland, were shown by complement fixation tests to be related to the Uukuniemi and Kemerovo serogroups.

  • (13) Studies were undertaken to improve the production of histoplasmin for use in complement-fixation tests and in the determination of H and M antibodies.
  • (14) Effects of fixation with glutaraldehyde (GA), glutaraldehyde-osmium tetroxide (GA-OsO(4)), and osmium tetroxide (OsO(4)) on ion and ATP content, cell volume, vital dye staining, and stability to mechanical and thermal stress were studied in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (EATC).
  • (15) Serology represents the primary method, using the techniques of complement fixation, indirect immunofluorescence, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
  • (16) We found that the Gallie system generally allowed significantly more rotation in flexion, extension, axial rotation, and lateral bending than the other three fixation techniques.
