What's the difference between hydropathy and hydrotherapy?
Hydropathy
Definition:
(n.) The water cure; a mode of treating diseases by the copious and frequent use of pure water, both internally and externally.
Example Sentences:
(1) The hydropathy profiles of the compared proteases were also strikingly similar.
(2) Circular dichroic studies and hydropathy profiling of the amino-acid sequence of this 'lac' permease suggest a secondary structure in which the polypeptide consists of 12 hydrophobic segments in alpha-helical conformation that traverse the membrane in zig-zag fashion connected by shorter, hydrophilic domains with most of the charged residues and many of the residues commonly found in beta-turns.
(3) Hydropathy analysis indicated that this N-terminal region contained the only extensive hydrophobic domain and thus constituted the only obvious potential membrane attachment site.

(6) The hydropathy profile of the predicted peptide suggests a hydrophobic, globular, membrane-associated protein with two potential transmembrane helices.
(7) (3) The average interface manifests significant hydropathy complementarity, signifying that proteins interact by placing hydrophobic centers of one surface against hydrophobic centers of the other surface, and by similarly matching hydrophilic centers.

(12) Based on the hydropathy profile it seems to have the same transmembrane organization as the Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit, with a single membrane-spanning domain near the amino terminus.
(13) Comparison of hydropathy profiles indicates the conservation of conformation of the common domains in these three families of proteins.
(14) The C-terminal hydrophobic regions of the three proteins exhibit a high degree of amino acid identity (64-69%) and have very similar hydropathy profiles, suggesting that they have the same transmembrane organization.
(15) This region is likely to protrude from the surface of the protein as judged by high hydrophilicity and low hydropathy predicted from the amino acid sequence and lack of secondary structure by contrast with the rest of the protein for which predominantly beta-sheet structure is predicted.
(16) The predicted secondary structure of the proteins from hydropathy plots is consistent with each containing a single membrane-spanning domain of at least 20 amino acids.
(17) Several distinctive features of sulfation sites are identified, including: abundance of acidic amino acid residues, lack of basic residues, low hydropathy, absence of neighboring cysteine residues, lack of extended secondary structure.
(18) The additional tripeptide units made hydropathy plots of the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of type III collagen distinctly different from those of type I collagen.
(19) The hydropathy profiles of the deduced amino acid sequences suggest that all five of the gene products of the cyo operon contain multiple membrane-spanning helical segments.
(20) Analyses for hydropathy, amphilicity, helix wheel, and dot matrix comparison are plotted as graphs on the screen and can be printed immediately or transferred to a picture accepting program.
Hydrotherapy
Definition:
(n.) See Hydropathy.
Example Sentences:
(1) Criteria for the germicide used for hydrotherapy must include effectiveness against the organism, absence of gross side effects, and conservation of human effort and materials.
(2) Minimal requirements for the treatment of water in hydrotherapy pools are recommended.
(3) Hydrotherapy is based on several important bioengineering principles that permit the design and development of aquatic exercise devices, techniques and programs.
(4) These data will be useful in cardiovascular and leg-strengthening hydrotherapy programs.
(5) People with a learning disability are increasingly using hydrotherapy for exercise, socialising, and the release of tension and energy.
(6) The hospital was converted to a rehabilitation facility by provision of rehabilitation space, training of local medical and allied health personnel in the principles of rehabilitation, provision of modalities, exercise, hydrotherapy, apiotherapy, and obtaining the necessary physical medical equipment.
(7) Drugs that preserve the K+ and therefore water content of erythrocytes are of potential value for hydrotherapy of sickle cell disease.
(8) An evaluation of the wound-healing and disinfectant activities of chloramine-T (Chlorazene) used in hydrotherapy whirlpools was studied in a guinea pig cutaneous wound model.
(9) For the majority of injuries, prompt and prolonged hydrotherapy is the cornerstone of therapy.
(10) In conservative local treatment, impregnated ointment gauze, L(D)PS and silver sulfadiazine were used, with wet-to-dry dressing, and hydrotherapy or skeletal suspension used jointly in some cases.
(11) Hydrotherapy has a positive effect on some subjective but not on objective parameters in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, whether it is applied in a thermomineral institution or an ordinary hospital exercise bath.
(12) A model swimming program for cerebral palsied children based on the underlying principles of the neurodevelopmental treatment approach is presented following a review of the current literature pertaining to swimming programs for the physically handicapped and a discussion of the values of hydrotherapy.
