What's the difference between oncometer and variation?
Oncometer
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for measuring the variations in size of the internal organs of the body, as the kidney, spleen, etc.
Example Sentences:
(1) In 38 critically burned patients with symptomatic hypovolemia being treated by intravenous fluids, the accuracy of colloid oncotic pressure (COP) calculated from the refractometrically-determined serum total protein (TPRI) was compared with COP values determined by a commercially-available clinical oncometer.
(2) The present paper describes an in vivo oncometer developed for this purpose.
(3) The oncometer in present use is a clinically feasible and rapid, one to three minutes, means of determining the colloid oncotic pressure.

(10) These values have been compared to those measured directly using a membrane-transducer oncometer in a group of normal subjects, in a group of critically-ill patients with a variety of primary diagnoses and in a group of hypovolaemic patients before and after plasma volume replacement with 6% hydroxyethyl starch solution.
Variation
Definition:
(n.) The act of varying; a partial change in the form, position, state, or qualities of a thing; modification; alternation; mutation; diversity; deviation; as, a variation of color in different lights; a variation in size; variation of language.
(n.) Extent to which a thing varies; amount of departure from a position or state; amount or rate of change.
(n.) Change of termination of words, as in declension, conjugation, derivation, etc.
(n.) Repetition of a theme or melody with fanciful embellishments or modifications, in time, tune, or harmony, or sometimes change of key; the presentation of a musical thought in new and varied aspects, yet so that the essential features of the original shall still preserve their identity.
(n.) One of the different arrangements which can be made of any number of quantities taking a certain number of them together.
Example Sentences:
(1) The variation in thickness of the LLFL may modulate the species causing damage to the cells below it.
(2) There was appreciable variation in toothbrush wear among subjects, some reducing their brush to a poor state in 2 weeks whereas with others the brush was rated as "good" after 10 weeks.
(3) Correction for within-person variation in urinary excretion increased this partial correlation coefficient between intake and excretion to 0.59 (95% CI = 0.03 to 0.87).
(4) The coefficient of variation in the integrated area of a single peak is 16%.

(10) = 19) with a very low, but statistically significant, correlation with the AUC, r = 0.35 (p less than 0.05), thus demonstrating a very great individual variation in sensitivity to cimetidine.
(11) Once the normal variations are mastered, appreciation of retinal, choroidal, optic nerve, and vitreal abnormalities is possible.
(12) Regression analysis on the 21 clinical or laboratory parameters studied showed that the only variable independently associated with CSF-FN was the total protein concentration in the CSF; this, however, explained only 14% of the observed variation in the CSF-FN concentration and did not show any correlation with CNS involvement.
