  • (20) These studies indicate the need for cautious interpretation of data obtained from in vitro analyses of separated male and female mansonian schistosomes, and that such conditions may not reflect in vivo or in copula function.

Predicate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To assert to belong to something; to affirm (one thing of another); as, to predicate whiteness of snow.
  • (v. t.) To found; to base.
  • (v. i.) To affirm something of another thing; to make an affirmation.
  • (v. t.) That which is affirmed or denied of the subject. In these propositions, "Paper is white," "Ink is not white," whiteness is the predicate affirmed of paper and denied of ink.

  • (3) Such an overall approach, here developed from the model of carrageenin-induced inflammation, also predicates that lysosomal enzymes, lipid peroxide and proamidase (related, respectively, to the inflammatory response in a narrow sense, to tissue damage and to tissue repair) are three basic parameters required when studying inflammatory processes.
  • (4) Interpretation of plasma concentration data during encainide therapy is predicated on an understanding of the role of active metabolites during treatment.
  • (5) Their use must be predicated by a differentiation of which arterial segments are hemodynamically involved, yet this determination may not be possible even after extensive noninvasive and invasive investigation.
  • (6) This level of diagnostic skills is predicated upon the ability to make a judgment on the basis of inherently ill-defined and insufficient data or, in other words, upon the ability to use rules and procedures of clinical inference.
  • (7) Immunologic mechanisms involved in tumor cell destruction are predicated principally on in vitro procedures, but the relevancy of these experimental observations to the actual events in vivo remains unclear and unresolved.
  • (8) Therefore, although impaired breathing may complicate swallowing dysfunction and vice versa, it does not appear that one can be predicated from the other.
  • (9) Appropriate changes in public health policy need not be predicated on results from still further studies.
