  • (11) Patients achieving complete or partial remission on radiotherapy relapsed mainly with extrathoracic disease, in contradistinction to those treated with chemotherapy whose thoracic disease recurred.
  • (12) The interest for such a study lies in the fact that, in contradistinction to the distal, extrathecal root segment outlined by fat in the foramen, the proximal segment within the dural sac cannot be distinguished from the surrounding CSF by CT. CT features assessed consisted of deformation of the dural sac and displacement of the surrounding epidural fat.
  • (13) The flow-volume curve in cough, in contradistinction to sneeze, indicated a significantly reduced airflow of the end of expiration (at 85% of the expired volume), demonstrating a concomitant bronchoconstriction.

  • (16) Certain associations showed, in contradistinction to the separately applied components, surprisingly favourable activity.
  • (17) Such tumors are truly benign, in contradistinction to other tumors previously grouped under the term "bronchial adenoma."
  • (18) In contradistinction to the similar structural characteristics of DHPC and DPPC in the presence of cholesterol, the low-angle lamellar reflections of DHPC at 22 degrees C in the absence of cholesterol are indicative of an interdigitated phase, demonstrating that cholesterol facilitates the conversion from an interdigitated to a non-interdigitated phase.
  • (19) Subperiosteal bone formation, in contradistinction to resorption, is an unusual occurrence in renal osteodystrophy, and particularly rare in the long bones of the lower extremities according to the radiological literature.
  • (20) In contradistinction, all of the phalangeal grafts failed, probably because their flatt surface made it impossible to maintain adequate fixation to the host bed.

Versus


Definition:

  • (prep.) Against; as, John Doe versus Richard Roe; -- chiefly used in legal language, and abbreviated to v. or vs.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It was found that linear extrapolations of log k' versus ET(30) plots to the polarity of unmodified aqueous mobile phase gave a more reliable value of log k'w than linear regressions of log k' versus volume percent.
  • (2) Only candidacidal activity was enhanced in FCA-elicited peritoneal macrophages (median C. albicans killed 28% versus 16% for resident peritoneal macrophages, p less than 0.01).
  • (3) It is concluded that fibroblast replication is an important mechanism leading to the pathologic fibrosis seen in graft versus host disease and, by analogy, probably other types of immunologically mediated fibrosis.

  • (5) The nonresponsive patient was older than the patients showing a positive response (1 month versus 24 to 96 hours).
  • (6) I’ve never really had that work versus life thing; it’s all part of the same canvas.

  • (8) Noise exposure and demographic data applicable to the United States, and procedures for predicting noise-induced permanent threshold shift (NIPTS) and nosocusis, were used to account for some 8.7 dB of the 13.4 dB average difference between the hearing levels at high frequencies for otologically and noise screened versus unscreened male ears; (this average difference is for the average of the hearing levels at 3000, 4000, and 6000 Hz, average for the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles, and ages 20-65 years).
  • (9) Extrapolation of gestational age from early crown-rump lengths (CRLs) has been difficult because previously established tables of CRL versus gestational age have contained few measurements at less than seven to eight weeks from the first day of the last menses.
  • (10) The reduction is believed due to the currently used pre-prepared disposable or reusable capsules containing the amalgam versus formerly mixing the ingredients manually.
  • (11) The heretofore "permanently and totally disabled versus able-bodied" principle in welfare reforms is being abbandoned.
