What's the difference between coaptation and cooptation?
Coaptation
Definition:
(n.) The adaptation or adjustment of parts to each other, as of a broken bone or dislocated joint.
Example Sentences:
(1) Echocardiographic findings included an abrupt midsystolic, posterior motion (greater than 3 mm beyond the CD line) in five patients, multiple sequence echoes in six, and posterior coaptation of the mitral valve near the left atrial wall in six.
(2) Our observations demonstrated that echographic coaptation of the aortic valve leaflets coincides with the trough of the aortic pressure incisura and the onset of A2.
(3) Since fractures of the foramen triosseum are usually not surgically repairable, they can be stabilized with coaptation splints.
(4) The membranous portion of the interventricular septum was thickened, and the aortic valve was thickened and had imperfect coaptation.
(5) Similarly, the largest strains are radial to facilitate the formation of a large coaptation area, while the circumferential strains are explained by the extension to the crimped collagen fibres.
(6) Based on the following clinical parameters, coaptation of wound edges, depth of anterior chamber, vitreous volume and position, iris position, analysis of the results demonstrates less complications in the treated serie.
(7) This rapid immunostaining technique offers a good approach for the identification and accurate coaptation of sensory fasciculi in peripheral nerve repair.
(8) After years of controversy, it is now generally agreed that primary nerve repair by end-to-end coaptation, whenever feasible, yields better results than secondary procedures.
(9) The distance from the plane of the mitral annulus to the coaptation (c) and the grade of systolic ballooning of the anterior mitral leaflet as expressed by the maximum distance between the leaflet and the straight line connecting the anterior mitral ring with the point of coaptation (d) were measured in the long-axis 2-DE.
(10) A variety of materials, not limited to traditional medical materials, may be used in coaptation splinting.
(11) This technique assures a very delicate and exact coaptation of the tendon ends.
(12) The effects of variations in stent height, leaflet thickness and coaptation area on the stress distribution were also analyzed.
(13) The excimer laser was able to trim the nerve ends flat thereby facilitating the coaptation and alignment of the nerve ends.
(14) The tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitant jets came from the center of the coaptation of each valve.
(15) Mitral valve prolapse with incomplete coaptation of the mitral leaflets in the long-axis view was observed in 32 cases in the RCT group and in four cases in the non-RCT group (sensitivity 84%, specificity 80%).
(16) Histological examination showed that the anastomotic site of the laser-assisted anastomosis demonstrated less foreign-body reaction than that of the suture anastomosis and regeneration of the elastic fibers at 6 weeks postoperatively in the optimally coaptated cases.
(17) The author stresses the need during the operation for close monitoring, which is a prerequisite of proper coaptation of the severed nerve structures.
(18) Incorporating prognostically related auscultatory, M-mode, 2DE and recent Doppler echocardiographic features, the following strict criteria for establishing the diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) have been advanced: 1. auscultatory; mid-to-late systolic clicks and a late systolic murmur at the apex or mid-to-late systolic clicks at the apex which move appropriately with maneuvers that alter LV volume or late systolic murmur at the apex in young patients (coinciding that a similar murmur in elderly population is non-specific for MVP); 2. two-dimensionally "targeted" M-mode criterion: marked (greater than 3 mm) late systolic buckling posterior to C-D line (moderate 2 mm late systolic buckling or 3 mm holosystolic displacement "arouse suspicion" but do not establish MVP); 3. two-dimensional echocardiographic criteria: severe bowing of leaflet(s) on the parasternal long axis and four-chamber view (mild to moderate bowing alone are unacceptable) or left atrial coaptation point; 4.
(19) The tibial functional index has been employed to assess functional recovery in rats following nerve repair by direct coaptation under tension or by grafting.
(20) However three main conditions must be taken into account: 1) a perfect framework sculpture; 2) good quality of the skin in order to provide a soft tissue free of scars and able to drape the framework in all the details of the sculpture; 3) a soft but useful succion system allowing a good coaptation between the framework and the skin without vascular damage.
Cooptation
Definition:
(n.) The act of choosing; selection; choice.
Example Sentences:
(1) 38 ICU were selected by cooptation rather than randomization, and the data collected concerned input (age, previous health status, simplified acute physiology score or SAPS, intensive care group, processes [TISS points]), percentage of ventilated patients, percentage of pulmonary arterial lines and outcome (ICU death rate).
(2) More particularly, it gives insight into the Technical Assistance Grants program, which was set up to enable citizens living close to contaminated sites to interpret and evaluate technical information relating to such sites, but which has been undercut by a weak EPA and cooptation efforts by industries.
(3) I examine the process of cooptation in a feminist health clinic, focusing on how the State shapes and absorbs the challenges of grassroots health activism.
(4) The first sections touch upon theoretical aspects, including: what is Lesbian Studies, the pros and cons of merging Lesbian and Gay, or Lesbian and Women's Studies, mainstreaming versus creating a separate discipline and the threat of cooptation.
(5) Professional or bureaucratic cooptation and control of SHGs?
