Excretion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of excreting.
  • (n.) That which is excreted; excrement.

  • (11) The amount of water, creatinine, electrolytes, proteins, and enzymes were higher during the day (up to three fold, p always less than 0.05), while equal amounts of amino acids were excreted in the day and the night period.
  • (12) GFR, urinary pH and glucose excretion were not affected by R(-)-ibuprofen.
  • (13) Both SAA and non-SAA enhanced ammonium excretion but only non-SAA enhanced organic anion excretion, an indicator of incomplete oxidation of organic acids.
  • (14) Infusion of 1 unit of 25-HCC per hour for 6 hours induced an antiphosphaturia only when administered with 0.2 units of PTH per hour, while neither agent alone changed phosphate excretion.
  • (15) The second agent in contrast caused elevated cell and enzyme excretion, increasing throughout the period of administration.
  • (16) Additionally, cats excreted the taurine conjugate of hydratropic acid.
  • (17) A study was conducted to determine the usefulness of self-screening of blood pressure in families as part of a school health care programme, and to study the relationship between BP and sodium excretion in school children.
  • (18) Urinalysis revealed a low pH, increased ketones and bilirubin excretion, dark yellowish change in color, the appearance of "leaflet-shaped" crystals and increased red blood cells and epithelial cells in the urinary sediment, increased water intake, decreased specific gravity and decreased sodium, potassium and chloride in the urine.
  • (19) There were significant differences in the mean erythrocyte transketolase activity of the thiaminase excreting poor animals and the thiaminase free normal animals.
  • (20) Diarrhea and excretion of vibrios lasted longer in animals consuming less protein.

Micturition


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of voiding urine; also, a morbidly frequent passing of the urine, in consequence of disease.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Attention should be paid to the circumstances under which the chart is applied, as normal micturition behaviour seems to be highly dependent on social factors.
  • (2) Recently, direct pathways from the dorsolateral pons to the ON, probably involved in supraspinal micturition control, have been reported (Holstege et al., 1986).
  • (3) Micturition cystourethrography, repeated in 15 patients at the end of the treatment, showed a clear-cut improvement of bladder neck suspension defects in all but 2 patients.
  • (4) When administered to adult patients with urge incontinence (generally as a 25mg twice-daily dose) terodiline reduces diurnal and nocturnal micturition frequency and incontinence episodes.
  • (5) At 12 months TURP had also improved micturition time and voided volume, which TUI had not.
  • (6) Initial experience with the use of bromocriptine in 24 patients with troublesome micturition symptoms associated with an unstable bladder is described.
  • (7) Our observations also suggest that post-synaptic nerve degeneration (denervation) plays an important role in the increased sensitivity of the detrusor muscle to acetylcholine in the parasympathetically decentralized urinary bladder, whether denervation is due to trans-synaptic degeneration or impairment of micturition.
  • (8) Free voiding and micturition alongside a fine indwelling urethral catheter of similar voided volumes of urine were recorded for 43 men over 50 years of age.
  • (9) VIP, a putative neurotransmitter in C-fiber bladder afferents, inhibited micturition reflexes when injected intrathecally (2-10 micrograms) in intact cats but facilitated micturition reflexes in spinal cats (doses 0.1-1 micrograms, i.t.).
  • (10) Detubularized orthotopic low-pressure bladder substitute following radical cystoprostatectomy allows micturition per urethram and urinary continence.
  • (11) The time from infusion to micturition, from opening pressure to return to baseline, and from the beginning to the end of the CMG were also recorded.
  • (12) Intravesical administration of hyperosmolar NaCl or urea solutions produced a concentration-dependent stimulatory action on the micturition reflex in urethane-anesthetized rats.
  • (13) By means of an extracellular glass microelectrode method, unitary discharges synchronized with the grouping discharges in the pelvic vesical branch with a rhythm of 2.2-2.5 Hz were recorded from the pontine micturition center in the dorsolateral pontine tegmentum.
  • (14) Bladder responses were clearly altered in alloxan treated rats as compared to normal rats, as shown by an increased vesical weight, an increased threshold for micturition reflex and a reduced rate of rhythmic contraction.
