What's the difference between paramere and radiate?
Paramere
Definition:
(n.) One of the symmetrical halves of any one of the radii, or spheromeres, of a radiate animal, as a starfish.
Example Sentences:
(1) A pachytene chromomere map is presented, as is evidence suggesting that the parameres are disposed in two lateral loops, each of which is coaxial with one of the homologs.
(2) The parameres are joined to each other and to the rest of the chromosome by interconnecting fibres.
(3) No evidence was obtained for the organisation of parameres into paired lateral loops, as proposed by previous workers using light microscopy.
(4) The secondary constriction organizes into "paramere" bodies during pachytene.
(5) Time required is 20 min for uptake of renograms and 5 min for processing and output, thus allowing routine execution of good quality renography, including hardcopy printout of both kidney uptake curves and diagnostic paramerers.
(6) Stereophotographs of stacks of plates from electron micrographs of serial ultrathin sections show the parameres in their in situ configuration to be composed of tightly compacted fibrils, 85-90 A in diameter.
(7) The most common arrangement is clusters on the axis of the bivalent, consisting of varying numbers of parameres of variable size.
(8) The individual parameres are comprised of one family of repeated DNA sequences.
(9) One chromosome of the C group, number 9, had a diffuse subcentromeric region (DSR) on the long arm, at the position of the constitutive heterochromatin and (in meiotic cells) the paramere.
(10) During prophase stages of the first meiotic division in human males, an autosomal divalent in the C group (autosomes 6-12) characteristically has associated with it, at a specific locus, small, DNA-containing bodies (parameres).
(11) Parameres appear to be denser than other parts of the chromosomes but have a similar fibrous substructure.
(12) The structure and arrangement of the parameres, which are small bodies representing part of the heterochromatin of human chromosome 9 at pachytene, were studied using transmission and scanning electron microscopy.
Radiate
Definition:
(v. i.) To emit rays; to be radiant; to shine.
(v. i.) To proceed in direct lines from a point or surface; to issue in rays, as light or heat.
(v. t.) To emit or send out in direct lines from a point or points; as, to radiate heat.
(v. t.) To enlighten; to illuminate; to shed light or brightness on; to irradiate.
(a.) Having rays or parts diverging from a center; radiated; as, a radiate crystal.
(a.) Having in a capitulum large ray florets which are unlike the disk florets, as in the aster, daisy, etc.
(a.) Belonging to the Radiata.
(n.) One of the Radiata.
Example Sentences:
(1) Recently, it has been shown that radiation therapy, alone or combined with chemotherapy, can be successful.
(2) Sixteen patients were operated on for lumbar pain and pain radiating into the sciatic nerve distribution.
(3) Because of the small number of patients reported in the world literature and lack of controlled studies, the treatment of small cell carcinoma of the larynx remains controversial; this retrospective analysis suggests that combination chemotherapy plus radiation offers the best chance for cure.
(4) Breast conserving surgery in patients with small tumors combined with radiation therapy has gained wide popularity due to better cosmetic results without significant changes in survival.
(5) A Monte Carlo simulation was performed to characterize the spatial and energy distribution of bremsstrahlung radiation from beta point sources important to radioimmunotherapy (RIT).
(6) While both inhibitors caused thermosensitization, they did not affect the time scale for the development of thermotolerance at 42 degrees C or after acute heating at 45 degrees C. The inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribosylation) radiosensitizers and thermosensitizers may be of use in the treatment of cancer using a combined modality of radiation and hyperthermia.
(7) 11 patients with a postoperative classification of stage D had additional external beam radiation to the pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes with shielding of the implanted prostatic region.
(8) Data are shown for both mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, indicating that, in this respect, even the smallest average organ absorbed dose can be effective, particularly for high-LET radiation.
(9) Protein kinase C (PKC) is activated rapidly and transiently following ionizing radiation exposure and is postulated to activate downstream nuclear signal transducers.
(10) It was found that there was a substantial increase in mortality rates in the area under the jets where there was large noise radiation.
(11) This was treated with local radiation therapy consisting of 2700 rads administered in 15 fractions during a period of 28 days.
(12) This linkage information was used to design complementation tests to determine allelism with previously characterized complementation groups affecting sensitivity to radiation.
(13) There was good agreement between the survival of normally oxygenated cells in culture and bright cells from tumors and between hypoxic cells in culture and dim cells from tumors over a radiation dosage range of 2-5 Gray.
(14) At the completion of radiation therapy, nine patients had negative biopsies.
(15) It has a poor prognosis prior to the current combined treatment of surgical ablation, radiation to the surgical field, and chemotherapy for microscopic metastases.
(16) Radiation exposure resulted in further significant decrease of T-cell count (but not B cells) in the elderly.
(17) This study reviewed 148 patients who had received radiation for head and neck cancer.
(18) The significantly lower radiation sensitivity of FL-marker than that of infectivity indicates that only part of the genome is responsible for the FL-marker.
(19) Treatment modalities included: partial temporal bone resection, subtotal temporal bone resection, total temporal bone resection, radical mastoidectomy followed by radiation therapy, radiation therapy alone, and chemotherapy.
(20) In addition, a new dosage concepts has been introduced on the basis of the effective dose on the lines of the recommendations by the IRCP; as a result, the definitions of radiation protection areas and of dosage limit values had to be revised and reworded.
