What's the difference between rogatory and rotatory?
Rogatory
Definition:
(a.) Seeking information; authorized to examine witnesses or ascertain facts; as, a rogatory commission.
Example Sentences:
Rotatory
Definition:
(a.) Turning as on an axis; rotary.
(a.) Going in a circle; following in rotation or succession; as, rotatory assembles.
(a.) Producing rotation of the plane of polarization; as, the rotatory power of bodies on light. See the Note under polarization.
(n.) A rotifer.
Example Sentences:
(1) Outgoing from the theory of the rotatory nystagmus based on the rotation test of the human vestibular system the fundamentels are developed for a complete evaluation method of an electronystagmogram including the elimination of artefacts by the authors' own research work in this field.
(2) In the rotatory and transverse gallop (examples of the in-phase form of locomotion) the coupling is asymmetrical: on one side it is comparable to pacing (forelimb flexion precedes hindlimb extension), and on the other side to trotting (forelimb flexion follows extension).
(3) Ten neurons responded only when a head undergoing rotatory movements was shown.
(4) Stimulus-induced nystagmus was combined with OKN, OKAN and per- and post-rotatory nystagmus.
(5) The rats often showed single rotatory curves affecting the thoracic and lumbar regions, although cases with multiple curves were also found.
(6) Furthermore, it is demonstrated that a thin perforated membrane fitted on the inside of the wall of a glass cylinder filled with water, will detach, with rotatory movements.
(7) The absolute stereochemistry of the three active centers was determined to be RRR by optical rotatory dispersion comparisons.
(8) In our hospital the rotatory osteotomy according to Weber proved good; in accordance with the findings it can be combined with other procedures.
(9) Anterolateral rotatory instability in 31 acutely injured knees and 31 chronically unstable knees was surgically stabilized with a previously unreported method of iliotibial band tenodesis.
(10) The cause for this condition, we think, is laxity of the ulnar part of the lateral collateral ligament, which allows a transient rotatory subluxation of the ulnohumeral joint and a secondary dislocation of the radiohumeral joint.
(11) With this program the "classical" parameters have been evaluated and the "rotatory diameter measurement" was performed.
(12) Its stability was measured by optical rotatory dispersion, differential scanning calorimetry, and trypsin susceptibility of the partially unfolded molecules.
(13) Recurrent posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow is an apparently undescribed clinical condition that is difficult to diagnose.
(14) A series of 26 patients undergoing translabyrinthine acoustic neuroma surgery was evaluated pre- and postoperatively using rotatory vestibular testing.
(15) All fractures healed uneventfully without rotatory and angulatory malalignment.
(16) In this system, embryonic neurons are dissociated from one another and allowed to reaggregate in rotatory culture, where they resume their normal differentiation.
(17) This parameter has a smaller error associated with it than do pure translations and may aid the clinician by helping to account for the large variation in rotatory ranges of motion within the population.
(18) He also had horizontal-clockwise rotatory nystagmus in primary gaze and ataxic gait.
(19) A test for knee posterolateral instability, which is a modification of the standard posterolateral rotatory instability test, is described.
(20) There is an almost linear correlation between the rotatory stability and the difference between the respective fourth power of the external and internal diameter or, approximately, to the fourth power of the external diameter for catheters without wire reinforcement.
