What's the difference between dialysis and phimosis?
Dialysis
Definition:
(n.) Diaeresis. See Diaeresis, 1.
(n.) Same as Asyndeton.
(n.) Debility.
(n.) A solution of continuity; division; separation of parts.
(n.) The separation of different substances in solution, as crystalloids and colloids, by means of their unequal diffusion, especially through natural or artificial membranes.
