What's the difference between manometer and monometer?
Manometer
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for measuring the tension or elastic force of gases, steam, etc., constructed usually on the principle of allowing the gas to exert its elastic force in raising a column of mercury in an open tube, or in compressing a portion of air or other gas in a closed tube with mercury or other liquid intervening, or in bending a metallic or other spring so as to set in motion an index; a pressure gauge. See Pressure, and Illust. of Air pump.
Example Sentences:
(1) The use of a water manometer would have caused overestimation of the intravascular volume status of this patient during the nodal rhythm.
(2) The type of manometer, cuff size, and cuff placement are also important factors in obtaining accurate blood pressure readings.
(3) (2) Tympanometrically measured middle ear pressure (MEP) was almost equivalent to the actual MEP recorded by a manometer when the tympanic membrane was normal.
(4) The animals were chronically instrumented with a microtip manometer in the left ventricle, two pairs of piezoelectric crystals for sonomicrometry and a hydraulic occluder around the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery and arterial and venous catheters.
(5) An air chamber attached to a Hg-manometer has in an upper wall a round window 8 mm in diameter, closed by a 0.05 mm-thick rubber membrane.
(6) To stop the arteriolar flow and allow perfusion pressure, as set by a mercury manometer, to be built up in the lumen of the vessel, the glomerulus was sucked into a constriction pipette.
(7) Compared with the manometer, none of the tonometers accurately measured IOP over the range between 0 and 100 mm of Hg.
(8) The bag pressure differed significantly from the infusor pressure as the blood bag emptied, making the usefulness of the infusor manometer questionable.
(9) These variables were recorded by means of a double-lumen catheter introduced in the aorta of four anesthetized closed chest dogs, and connected to critically damped manometer systems.
(10) The external pressure was measured by a small airfilled plastic cushion connected to a mercury manometer.
(11) Additionally, Pao can be easily and accurately measured by a slowly responding mechanical manometer.
(12) In the cases of 10 cardially healthy humans and 5 patients with heart disease, the left ventricular pressure as well as different parameters of contractility - deduced from the pressure curve and its first derivative - were determined by a catheter-tip manometer (Statham SF - 1).
(13) The performances were recorded with an intraventricular balloon equipped with a tip-manometer catheter.
(14) Haemodynamic variables were measured with the Mills combined left ventricular catheter-tip manometer and aortic electromagnetic blood velocity transducer.
(15) A mercury-in-glass manometer (sphygmomanometer) is used to measure the gas pressure proximal to a flow restrictor (consisting of a hypodermic needle hub) and it is this pressure head which, for a given gas, dictates the flow produced.
(16) A procedure is described for generating alkali in a closed manometer vessel, by mixing mercuric oxide and a solution of sodium iodide, for use in a method for measuring the oxygen consumption at physiological bicarbonate concentrations.
(17) This manometer was only visible to the investigator.
(18) Two lots of the commercial myelogram trays yielded nonviable gram-negative bacilli from 50% of the specimen tubes and 33.3% of the manometers tested.
(19) The oscillometric test instrument and a standard mercury manometer were connected with a Y tube.
(20) Data were obtained from nine dogs chronically instrumented with three sets of piezoelectric diameter gauges to assess ventricular volume and high-fidelity manometers to measure pressure.
Monometer
Definition:
(n.) A rhythmic series, consisting of a single meter.
Example Sentences:
(1) The largest rotational unit in these complexes has ph = 60 ns for both proteins; by comparison, the monometic human apo-A-I has a ph = 73.5 ns.
(2) The role of dimer-monometer equilibrium in the biological function of collagenase is discussed.
(3) An in vitro assay was used to compare the accuracy of the IVAC pump manometer with the Hewlett-Packard monometer (HP78532B) and a miniaturized digital fluid pressure manometer (Stryker).
(4) Molcular sizes obtained from deuterium spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) data of 3alpha,12alpha-dihydroxy-7,7-dideutero-5beta-cholanoic acid in methanol and in water are in accordance with monometic and tetrameric structures in the two media, respectively.
(5) The modified enzyme contains one active-site zinc and one externally bound cobalt per enzyme monometer.
(6) Taurocholate (n = 35) or tauroursodeoxycholate (n = 35) in saline was infused for 1 h. Maximal biliary secretory pressure was then measured by attaching the biliary cannula to a column monometer and recording the maximum height to which bile rose.
