What's the difference between hemastatic and hemostatic?
Hemastatic
Definition:
(a. & n.) Alt. of Hemastatical
Example Sentences:
(1) Since the presently available microsurgery instruments are too cumbersome or indelicate, low-energy carbon dioxide lasers have been investigated as a tool that holds promise as a fetal scalpel and hemastatic device.
Hemostatic
Definition:
(a.) Of or relating to stagnation of the blood.
(a.) Serving to arrest hemorrhage; styptic.
(n.) A medicine or application to arrest hemorrhage.
Example Sentences:
(1) No biologic investigation of the hemostatic impairment could be performed under the emergency conditions of this field study.
(2) The present study examined the effects of repeated plasma exchanges with membrane filtration (Plasmaflux P2 membrane, 4.3 I human albumin solution) on the hemostatic system and on thyroid hormones in critically ill patients.
(3) The main objective of these experiments was to develop and characterize a new experimental model of venous thrombosis, and determine whether a combination of vascular wall damage (crushing with hemostat clamps) and prolonged stasis produced more reproducible clots than prolonged stasis per se.
(4) These results suggest that simultaneous measurements of XDP and plasmin-alpha 2PI complex in plasma would be valuable for the pharmacological or hemostatic assessment of thrombolytic therapy.
(5) All hemostatic variables were significantly (P less than 0.05) increased postexercise.
(6) Numerous hemostatic factors are involved in thrombosis.
(7) An argon beam coagulator was evaluated in 25 canine partial nephrectomies to determine its hemostatic capabilities, safety and degree of thermal injury to renal parenchyma.
(8) FUT showed regional anticoagulability, in which anticoagulating effects were firmly limited in extracorporeal circuit, and hemostatic time after ECC was significantly shortened by the use of FUT.
(9) Only those aspects of the hemostatic mechanism most relevant to the antithrombotic action of heparin and warfarin are discussed.
(10) Salvage cystectomy is a surgical procedure performed for hemostatic purposes in patients with massive hematuria, in addition to playing an symptomatic and humanitarian role.
(11) Routine laboratory parameters of the hemostatic system were normal with the exception of blood fibrinolytic activity.
(12) The disadvantage is that agents used to prevent thrombosis can place the hemostatic mechanism in jeopardy.
(13) Based on the cellular distribution of TF, it is hypothesized that intravascular initiation of coagulation requires induced expression by intravascular cells, and that the normal distribution of TF represents a hemostatic "envelope" ready to activate coagulation when vascular integrity is disrupted.
(14) The hemostatic effectiveness of the concentrate appeared to be satisfactory relative to untreated concentrates.
(15) Since the presentation was a frank breech at the end of the 39th week of pregnancy, cesarean section delivery was performed under good hemostatic control with transfusion of 7.3 x 10(11) platelets.
(16) These ointments, which are marketed as nonsterile products, are similar to those used for hemostatic packing in otolaryngologic surgery.
(17) Since patient platelet volumes were smaller than those of controls, these findings might be explained by deficiency of the larger hemostatically active type of platelet as a consequence of either bone marrow failure or splenic sequestration.
(18) Our results suggest that tumor necrosis factor could play an important part in the early activation of the hemostatic mechanism in septicemia.
(19) The favorable evolution and minimal hemostatic alterations in the majority of the patients with intrauterine fetal death, when early obstetric management was established, are discussed.
(20) Several hemostatic modalities should be available and applied depending on the anatomic location and type of bleeding lesions.
