What's the difference between nonpoisonous and toxic?
Nonpoisonous
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The purified protein inhibits papain and bromelain, does not correct the clotting time of a kininogen-depleted human plasma, and does not affect the clotting time of plasma from Waglerophis merremii, a nonpoisonous snake; the same type of inhibitor was found in this nonpoisonous snake.

(5) The annual rate of injuries per child was significantly greater in the poison control group (23.7%) than in the nonpoison control group (14.8%) (P less than .025; odds ratio, 1.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.1 to 2.4).
(6) Similarly, the linear relationship between dye fluorescence and psi p was not altered by depolarization of psi m. Valinomycin, a K+ ionophore, caused a psi p-dependent increase in fluorescence in control (nonpoisoned) synaptosomes, but did not alter fluorescence of poisoned synaptosomes except when the extracellular concentration of K+ ([K+]e) was 2 mM, in which case valinomycin hyperpolarized psi p by about 5 mV.
(7) Conversely, when the PCP vehicle was given prior to the saccharin-LiCl pairing and PCP prior to a nonpoisoned exposure to saccharin, other subjects avoided saccharin consumption following the vehicle injection and readily consumed saccharin after an injection of PCP.
(8) Change of residence during the last 6 months was much commoner among families of poisoned children than of nonpoisoned.
(9) Dietary vitamin E status had no significant influence on the increased mechanical fragility of erythrocytes from nonpoisoned rats caused by exposure to lead in vitro.
(10) When PCP was given prior to the pairing of saccharin with LiCl (and the PCP vehicle prior to a nonpoisoned exposure to the same saccharin solution), rats rapidly acquired the discrimination, avoiding saccharin consumption following PCP and consuming saccharin following the vehicle after only three conditioning trials.
(11) The most common situation resulting in snakebite was erroneous identification of the snake as the nonpoisonous scarlet king snake.
(12) There were 45 injuries among the 190 children in the poison control group and 31 injuries among 209 children in the nonpoison control group.
(13) For a 6-year period of time from January 1st, 1980 to December 31st, 1985, 503 adult patients presented to a prehospital system in non-traumatic, nonpoisoned, cardiorespiratory arrest with an initial rhythm of electromechanical dissociation.
(14) Thus, the depolarization of psi(mc) might not account for the entire Deltapsi(ms), observed in nonpoisoned tissue.
(15) To determine if children from households that call a poison center are at increased risk of nonpoisoning injury.
Toxic
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Toxical
Example Sentences:
(1) This suggested that the chemical effects produced by shock waves were either absent or attenuated in the cells, or were inherently less toxic than those of ionizing irradiation.
(2) Theophylline kinetics, as an in vivo probe for the potentially toxic cytochrome P-450I pathway of drug metabolism, were studied in 11 healthy volunteers and 11 patients with calcific chronic pancreatitis at Madras, South India.
(3) Treatment termination due to lack of efficacy or combined insufficient therapeutic response and toxicity proved to be influenced by the initial disease activity and by the rank order of prescription.
(4) Although Jeggo's Chinese hamster ovary cells were more responsive to mAMSA, novo still abrogated mAMSA toxicity in the mutant cells as well as in the parental Chinese hamster ovary cells 2,4-Dinitrophenol acted similarly to novo with respect to mAMSA killing, but neither compound reduced the ATP content of V79 cells.
(5) The pancreatic changes are unlikely to be an artefact, but rather a direct toxic effect of the alcohol as confirmed by the biochemical changes.
(6) Results suggest that Cd-MT is reabsorbed and broken down by kidney tubule cells in a physiological manner with possible subsequent release of the toxic cadmium ion.
(7) Previous studies have not evaluated the potential for oxygen toxicity at 9.5 psia.
(8) They more precisely delineate the hazard identification process and the factors important in supporting risk decisions for developmental toxicants than does any other document.
(9) Accidentally discovered nearly 40 years ago as the first true antidepressants, the MAOIs soon fell into disfavor due to concerns about toxicity and seemingly lesser efficacy compared with the newer tricyclic compounds.
(10) The results confirm studies performed in our laboratory on cytotoxicity and on functional membrane proteins of fungal and mammalian cells [1,2], suggesting a common mechanism of toxicity by the action of hydrophobic xenobiotics on biomembranes.
(11) testosterone, fentanyl, nicotine) may ultimately be administered in this way, important questions pertaining to pharmacology (tolerance), toxicity (irritation, sensitisation) and dose sufficiency (penetration enhancement) remain.
(12) None of the compounds proved active against the replication of retroviruses (human immunodeficiency virus, murine sarcoma virus) at concentrations that were not toxic to the host cells.
(13) It was shown that the antibiotic had low acute toxicity, did not cumulate and had no skin-irritating effect.
(14) Diminished CMD was most common with AR (7 of 12) but was also seen with acute tubular necrosis (2 of 6) and cyclosporin toxicity (2 of 3).
(15) Histopathological studies confirmed that mice fed 933cu-rev died from bilateral renal cortical tubular necrosis consistent with toxic insult, perhaps due to Shiga-like toxins.
(16) Research must continue to determine the optimal regimen that suppresses testosterone activity with the least amount of toxicity.
(17) In South Africa, health risks associated with exposure to toxic waste sites need to be viewed in the context of current community health concerns, competing causes of disease and ill-health, and the relative lack of knowledge about environmental contamination and associated health effects.
(18) Analysis of 156 records relating to patients at the age of 15 to 85 years with extended purulent peritonitis of the surgical and gynecological genesis (the toxic phase, VI category ASA) showed that combination of programmed sanitation laparotomy and intensive antibacterial therapy performed as short-term courses before, during and after the operation with an account of the information on the nature of the microbial associations and antibioticograms was an efficient procedure in treatment of severe peritonitis.
(19) Treatment was monitored by simple measurements, and it's toxicity proved to be scanty.
(20) And adding to this toxic mix, was the fear that the hung parliament would lead to a weak government.
