What's the difference between conglobate and spherical?

Conglobate


Definition:

  • (a.) Collected into, or forming, a rounded mass or ball; as, the conglobate [lymphatic] glands; conglobate flowers.
  • (v. t.) To collect or form into a ball or rounded mass; to gather or mass together.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) High daily doses of tetracycline (in most instances 2,000 mg) were administered over periods of 3 to 33 months to 31 patients suffering from unusually severe, disfiguring, and treatment-resistant forms of acne (papulopustular, cystic, and conglobated).
  • (4) In 56% of the acne patients, one or more parameters showed pathological values, while in nodulocystic and conglobate acne there were similar results with regard to cellular defects and acute phase reactants.
  • (5) One pair had febrile ulcerative conglobate acne; the other, cystic acne.
  • (6) Roaccutan efficacy and tolerance in severe forms of acne eruption (ball-shaped and conglobate) and in acne rosacea were under study.
  • (7) Isotretinoin is very effective in cystic and conglobate acne, while etretinate is especially useful in the more severe forms of psoriasis.
  • (8) For more than 15 years, the patient has been afflicted with cystic and conglobate acne.
  • (9) The study was performed on 52 patients (47 males and 5 females) having suffered from severe acne for six years on an average, including papulopustular acne grade IV resistant to therapy, nodulocystic acne, conglobate acne, and acne tetrade.
  • (10) Fourteen patients with treatment-resistant cystic and conglobate acne were treated for four months with oral 13-cis-retinoic acid, a synthetic isomer of naturally occurring all-trans-retinoic acid.
  • (11) The fundic gland showed marked atrophy, and there was some conglobation of endocrine cells (ECL cells).

Spherical


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Spheric

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The authors have presented in two previous articles the graphic solutions resembling Tscherning ellipses, for spherical as well as for aspherical ophthalmic lenses free of astigmatism or power error.
  • (2) This lack of symmetry in shape and magnitude may be due to non-sphericity of the skull over the temporal region or to variations in conductivities of intervening tissues.
  • (3) As a consequence of deformation from spherical-to-cylindrical shape in the microvasculature, demands for increased surface membrane area leads to increases in surface membrane tension above critical levels for rupture, and the cancer cells are rapidly and lethally damaged.
  • (4) From the different shapes of the scattering curves of the native phosphofructokinase at pH 7.5 in the presence of 15 mM ATP and of the cross-linked tetramer or octamer, it can be inferred that the shapes of the protomers are different: in the presence of ATP the protomers are elongated, having an axial ratio of 1.8 to 2.0; the cross-linked state reveals a spherical protomer of radius 33.0 A, similar to that of the native enzyme at pH 7.5 in the presence of fructose 6-phosphate or fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
  • (5) Equivalent viewing power (EVP), field of view, and working distance (WD) were calculated for 4 different magnifier equivalent powers, four magnifier-to-eye distances, and for uncorrected spherical ametropias varying from +20.00 to -20.00 D in 0.25 D steps.
  • (6) A sound source is commonly spherical, therefore solutions are found for the wave equation in spherical coordinates, giving a precise meaning to the 'azimuthal' and 'magnetic quantum number' analogy.
  • (7) One biliary stone showed cholesterol with spherical bodies of calcium carbonate and pigment.
  • (8) A simple method has been developed for fusing synaptic vesicles into spherical structures 20-50 micron in diameter.
  • (9) Anterior lenticonus is a rare condition, in which there is a conical or spherical protrusion of the anterior surface into the anterior chamber.
  • (10) These results suggest that the shapes of the two enzymes are more spherical in solution than the proposed structural model previously reported.
  • (11) Elementary spherical particles similar to those described in the mitochondria are found in isolated rat liver and spleen nuclear membranes.
  • (12) NF-L in 6 M-urea took the form of spherical particles with a diameter of about 12 nm.
  • (13) Later, melanocytes became spherical and had membrane bound, autophagosome-like compartments of pigment granules.
  • (14) Rotation time constants obtained from the dichroism decay are not consistent with a spherical shape, for either the holo- or core repressor.
  • (15) The mean spherical approximation (MSA) provides a simple and reliable method for computation of single ion activities.
  • (16) Neuron #1 contained large spherical electron-dense vesicles while neuron #2 contained smaller subspherical vesicles.
  • (17) The morphological unit of the regular array appeared to consist of four spherical subunits, each about 2 nm in diameter, which were arranged in a tetragonal pattern about 4.5 by 7.0 nm in dimension.
  • (18) These receptors were subdivided by their morphology in the next groups: pear-shaped receptors with capsule; capsuled spherical receptors located near vascular walls; ovoidal receptors with capsule and glomerular structure; simple or complex mace-shaped receptors without capsule.
  • (19) A simple closed-form solution is derived for a thin linearly elastic spherical model of the cornea.
  • (20) Levels of pregnenolone and progesterone in spherical pig blastocysts (near 4 and 15 microM respectively) exceeded respective levels in histotroph by about 400-fold.
