What's the difference between clearage and clearance?
Clearage
Definition:
(n.) The act of removing anything; clearance.
Example Sentences:
(1) The arrangement of the six disulfide bonds was determined by analysing sequences and amino acid compositions of subfragments isolated after cleavage with trypsin, thermolysin and staphylococcal protease and after clearage of the disulfide bonds.
Clearance
Definition:
(n.) The act of clearing; as, to make a thorough clearance.
(n.) A certificate that a ship or vessel has been cleared at the customhouse; permission to sail.
(n.) Clear or net profit.
(n.) The distance by which one object clears another, as the distance between the piston and cylinder head at the end of a stroke in a steam engine, or the least distance between the point of a cogwheel tooth and the bottom of a space between teeth of a wheel with which it engages.
Example Sentences:
(1) Disease stabilisation was associated with prolonged periods of comparatively high plasma levels of drug, which appeared to be determined primarily by reduced drug clearance.
(2) Work on humoral responses has focused on lysozyme, the hemagglutinins (especially in the oyster), and the clearance of certain antigens.
(3) It is suggested that the rapid phase is due to clearance of peptides in the circulation which results in a fall to lower blood concentrations which are sustained by slow release of peptide from binding sites which act as a depot.
(4) In addition to esophageal manometry, we also performed acid-clearance studies and examined salivary output, acid-neutralizing capacity, and bicarbonate concentration.
(5) There was no correlation between disturbed gastric clearance, impaired gall bladder contraction, and prolonged colonic transit time in the patients with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy nor was there a correlation between any disturbed motor function and age or duration of diabetes.
(6) Pharmacokinetic parameters, such as these clearances, had large intersubject variations.
(7) Mortality, blood clearance and organ distribution of 125I labelled Escherichia coli were determined.
(8) Unbound fractions was significantly correlated with serum albumin concentration (r = -0.344, p less than 0.046) and renal clearance (r = 0.394, p less than 0.021) but not with total body clearance or volume of distribution.
(9) Renal blood flow was measured in all patients by Hippuran-clearance and xenon-washout.
(10) Temelastine produces these species-specific changes by enhancing thyroxine clearance from the circulation in the rat, but not in the dog or mouse.
(11) Our study suggests that a major part of the renal antimineralocorticoid activity of spironolactone may be attributable to minor sulfur-containing metabolites or their precursors having a high renal clearance that affords access to their site of activity via the renal tubular fluid.
(12) Degraded visual acuity had a significant effect on cadence, foot placement, and foot clearance, but visual surround conditions did not.
(13) These results suggest that glomerular IgA are IgA polymers and decreased hepatic clearance of hepatic IgA polymers may be responsible for the glomerular deposition of IgA.
(14) Furthermore, the changes in both interstitial fluid and testicular venous blood levels of testosterone do not always parallel those in peripheral venous blood, suggesting that changes in testicular blood flow and peripheral clearance rates of testosterone may also be important in the control of circulating testosterone concentrations.
(15) Isolated renal tubules and renal clearance techniques were used to characterize the renal handling of 2-deoxy-D-galactose (2-d-Gal) by the winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus).
(16) Moreover, the most recent combined application of the rat interstitial cell testosterone (RICT) bioassay and a novel multiple-parameter deonvolution model has allowed investigators to dissect plasma concentration profiles of bioactive LH into defined secretory bursts, which have numerically explicit amplitudes, locations in time, and durations, and are acted upon by determinable subject- and study-specific endogenous metabolic clearance rates.
(17) [14C]Sucrose biliary clearance increased in treated animals, suggesting an increased permeability of the biliary system to sucrose.
(18) In view of its significant effects on drug metabolizing enzymes and clearance mechanisms, it is important to know its disposition characteristics.
(19) The time to recovery of full consciousness, time to parasite clearance, and mortality were examined with Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis.
(20) Tracheal mucus transport rate (TMTR) and quantitative clearance of aerosolized Escherichia coli from the trachea, lung, and air sac were measured in healthy unanesthetized turkeys and in turkeys exposed by aerosol to a La Sota vaccine strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV).
