What's the difference between convulsion and convulsive?

Convulsion


Definition:

  • (n.) An unnatural, violent, and unvoluntary contraction of the muscular parts of an animal body.
  • (n.) Any violent and irregular motion or agitation; a violent shaking; a tumult; a commotion.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The results show that in TMO-treated animals the time to the onset of convulsions, the time to the onset of NADH oxidation-reduction cycles, and the survival time were significantly longer than in the control group.
  • (2) The effects of low doses of dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel antagonists nimodipine, nifedipine, (-)-R-202-791, and amlodipine, the DHP calcium channel agonist BAY K 8644 were investigated on clonic convulsions to pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) in mice.
  • (3) 1 Rats were convulsed once daily for 7 days by exposure to the inhalant convulsant agent, flurothyl (Indoklon, bis (2,2,2-trifluouroethyl)ether).
  • (4) Ruthenium red (RuR) inhibits Ca2+ uptake and transmitter release in synaptosomes, and produces flaccid paralysis when injected intraperitoneally (IP) and convulsions after intracranial administration.
  • (5) extended the survival time, even though all the mice died as a result of the convulsions.
  • (6) Facial twitch was followed by the generalized convulsion, further progressing to trembling of the limbs and then kicking of the hindlimb (full seizure) after 55 days of age.
  • (7) CZP reduced the incidence of convulsions only after the larger dose, but plain solvent (propylene glycol, ethanol, water) was equally effective.
  • (8) The relationship between the susceptibility to convulsions, the content of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and the activity of pyridoxal kinase (EC 2.7.1.35) and glutamate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15) in brain, was studied in the developing mouse.
  • (9) The convulsive episodes had several maxima during the abstinence period.
  • (10) A nervous syndrome characterized by clonic convulsive episodes inducible by exercise, developed at day 11.
  • (11) Anesthetic drugs have been each time defined pro or anti-convulsant: however, data from the literature show that it is not possible to certainly define the role of general anesthetics in the genesis of post-operative seizures.
  • (12) The risk of epilepsy after febrile convulsions is much less than reported in many hospital studies, and if febrile convulsions cause brain damage that leads to later epilepsy this is a rare occurrence.
  • (13) It was demonstrated that neither enflurane nor halothane exacerbates a pre-existing susceptibility to seizure activity and that both these inhalation anaesthetics are suitable for cases suffering from cerebral convulsive disorders.
  • (14) They were given individually to guinea pigs prior to poisoning with 2 x LD50 soman to test their efficacy against organophosphorus-induced convulsions, brain damage, and lethality.
  • (15) The antivasopressor analog d(CH2)5Tyr(Me) arginine-vasopressin completely blocked the convulsive-like behavior and other severe motor disturbances which are normally observed following a second central arginine-vasopressin injection.
  • (16) Venoruton offers a protection against hypoxic stress-induced neurotoxicity (convulsions and death) in mice.
  • (17) Evidence suggests that this lesion is probably a common cause of chronic epilepsy in adults and that often it is probably the result of a severe febrile convulsion in infancy.
  • (18) Using chick synaptic membranes, proteinaceous acceptors were characterized for dendrotoxin, a polypeptide from Dendroaspis angusticeps with convulsant activity due to its facilitation of transmitter release, resulting from inhibition of A-current K+ channels in brain.
  • (19) Compared with afebrile patients, PGE-2 levels were significantly higher after febrile convulsions.
  • (20) Seizures elicited by posture change and intraperitoneal administration of convulsants were studied ontogenetically in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).
