Erosion
Definition:
(n.) The act or operation of eroding or eating away.
(n.) The state of being eaten away; corrosion; canker.
Example Sentences:

(2) Endoscopy showed an irregular erosion of 4 by 2 cm, from which biopsies were taken.
(3) The dispute is rooted in the recent erosion of many of the freedoms Egyptians won when they rose up against Mubarak in a stunning, 18-day uprising.
(4) Poly(ortho ester) bioerodible polymers are suitable materials for the topical administration of a wide variety of therapeutic agents; varying the nature and amounts of excipients physically incorporated into the polymer will vary the erosion rates from a few hours to many months.
(5) In support of this argument, a case of erosive arthritis is reported in a skeleton from Kulubnarti, Republic of the Sudan (c. 700-1450 A.D.).
(6) As many as 72 patients with erosive and ulcerous injuries to the stomach and duodenum were examined for the clinical efficacy of antepsin (sucralfate).
(7) Important problems currently under study or requiring investigation for better understanding of the pathophysiology and management are reviewed under three major categories: acute peptic erosions and ulcers, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer.
(8) We have summed up four types of essential X-ray features of cortical erosion and their pathological bases, clarified the limited ability of X-ray to reveal early cortical invasion and the range of infiltration.
(9) This is a report of the short- and long-term complications in a premature infant with tracheoesophageal fistula, including those related to central venous alimentation, seizures, chylothorax, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, dental erosions, gastroesophageal reflux, pulmonary problems, and gall stones.
(10) Erosion was observed on all teeth, but was commonest on the upper incisors, canines and premolars, and severest on palatal surfaces.
(11) Postoperatively, visual acuity was improved and symptoms of erosion decreased in both patients.
(12) Adrenaline produced severe sub-mucosal haemorrhage, but no erosions or ulceration, while prednisolone and fasting gave no gross pathology.
(13) A follow-up study of erosive prepyloric changes (EPC) was undertaken in 60 patients who originally presented with non-ulcer dyspepsia and EPC grade 2 or 3.
(14) The presence of granularity and erosion did not much affect the estimated risks.
(15) These mice also have circulating rheumatoid factor (RF) and develop histological changes in their joints characterized by pannus formation, cartilage and bone erosions.

(17) It was hypothesized that an autoaggressive attack of lymphoid cells against the epithelium of the oral mucosa played a role in the pathogenesis of this erosive stomatitis and it was suggested that there might be a correlation between the occurrence of stomatitis and the presence of Castleman's tumor.
(18) Fatale haemoptysis occurred as a result of circumferential caustic erosion to the right intermediate bronchus caused by a tablet of ferrous sulphate which remained in contact for 4 days.
(19) Prophylactic treatment by intra-articular injections twice weekly for 4 weeks caused amelioration of canine cartilage erosions.
(20) In 17 out of 18 such patients, the two-week therapy with sucralfat (venter) resulted in the disappearance of esophagitis with multiple erosions.
