What's the difference between tetanilla and tetany?
Tetanilla
Definition:
Example Sentences:
Tetany
Definition:
(n.) A morbid condition resembling tetanus, but distinguished from it by being less severe and having intermittent spasms.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is shown from an analysis of the transient force responses observed after sudden changes in muscle length applied both at full and reduced overlap and during the rising phase of short tetani that these responses can be explained on the basis of varying numbers of cross bridges attached at the time of the length step.
(2) The existence of such an effect also in the present preparation was studied by giving 'interrupted' tetani with a total duration of about 2 s. In rested fibres the mean rate of relaxation was found to fall from 140.9 to 71.8% (n = 11) of the control (end of 350 ms stimulation) with a time constant of about 0.5 s. Thus, a marked slowing during a long tetanus occurs also in mammalian muscle.
(3) A physiological deficiency of Mg results in hypomagnesemic tetany.
(4) The investigation involved the older workers and the workers at highest dust exposure levels and included general medical screening with emphasis on the existence of hypertension, edema, calcium tetany, anemia, common skin problems, nasal septum perforation, persistent diarrhea; lung function tests; serum analyses for sulfate, calcium, sodium, and chloride content; and urinary inorganic sulfate output.
(5) This can lead to neonatal tetany or perhaps permanent neonatal hypoparathyroidism.
(6) In grass tetany, the animals generally are grazing cool-season forages in which Mg concentration or bioavailability of plant Mg is low.
(7) Immunoprophylaxis of infectious complications in surgical patients is currently practiced and is efficacious for disease caused by Clostridium tetani, rabies virus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and hepatitis B virus.
(8) The association between idiopathic mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and latent tetany (LT) is common, as shown in our previous studies on adults and children.
(9) Renal tubular acidosis and tetany were the 1st manifestations of Kearns-Sayre syndrome in a 5-year-old child.
(10) In this case, anaerobic culture of C tetani was unsuccessful, possibly because of the inherent difficulty of anaerobic transfer from an oral locus and the extreme fastidiousness of the organism.
(11) Underlying tendency to tetany is the most common aetiology, going hand in hand with increased histamine sensitivity.
(12) Isometric responses to single and twin pulses, tetani and sinusoidal stimulation were measured.
(13) Steady-state force and [Ca2+]i were measured during tetani, and the force versus [Ca2+]i relation was obtained by varying the extracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]o).
(14) Further research is required before these lesions can be identified and new knowledge applied to the development of economical, effective programs that prevent milk fever and hypomagnesemic tetany.
(15) Like tetany, which was present in 12 of the patients, epilepsy was a common symptom, occurring in 13, seven of whom had received anticonvulsants for two to eight years before hypocalcaemia was detected.
(16) The results suggest that alkalosis per se can cause tetany in Bartter's syndrome.
(17) A 2-kilobase (kb) EcoI fragment of Clostridium tetani DNA was identified by Southern blotting and was cloned into the Escherichia coli plasmid vector pAT153 with the 32P-labeled oligonucleotide mixture as a probe.
(18) Thirty-eight animals were continued on treatment for a 2nd yr. Sometribove did not affect the incidence of ketosis, milk fever, tetany, or pneumonia.
(19) Although the culture filtrate was highly active, disc electrophoresis revealed that the toxin is a minor component of the mixture of proteins in the crude preparation, and that the minor representation contrasts with the relative prominence of exotoxins in cultures of other bacteria, such as Vibrio cholerae, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and Clostridium tetani.
(20) Thus, a fetal death or an episode of neonatal tetany may reveal a maternal hyperparathyroidism.
