What's the difference between intermediacy and intervention?

Intermediacy


Definition:

  • (n.) Interposition; intervention.

Example Sentences:

Intervention


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of intervening; interposition.
  • (n.) Any interference that may affect the interests of others; especially, of one or more states with the affairs of another; mediation.
  • (n.) The act by which a third person, to protect his own interest, interposes and becomes a party to a suit pending between other parties.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In dogs, cibenzoline given i.v., had no effects on the slow response systems, probably because of sympathetic nervous system intervention since the class 4 effects of cibenzoline appeared after beta-adrenoceptor blockade.
  • (2) On the basis of 180 interventions, they describe in detail the use of fibrin glue in myringo- and tympanoplasty for correct fixing of grafts.
