The phrase "abnormal gap" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a space or difference that deviates from what is considered normal or expected, often in contexts such as statistics, health, or engineering.
Example: "The study revealed an abnormal gap in the data that required further investigation."
Alternatives: "unusual gap" or "irregular gap".
It has a band gap of 1.6 eV at 0 GPa and exhibits an abnormal gap broadening behavior under pressure.
Furthermore, previous reports demonstrate that systemic administration of a TGF-βR1 inhibitor (Calbiochem: LY364947) increases tumor vessel permeability [44] and smad4 deficient mice exhibit defects in vascular integrity and maturation as well as abnormal gap junction formation [45].
Histological analysis of retinas from 12-month-old Adam9 −/− mice showed an abnormal gap between the POS and RPE.
For the cutoff for abnormal gap densities, we defined gap density values >6% (the estimated 95th percentile of the control population) to be abnormal.
However, abnormal gap junction communication and/or cell death during keratinocyte differentiation has been suggested to lead to hyperproliferation (reviewed in 39) and disease.
Cx43 gap junction arrangement is particularly disordered in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common cause of sudden cardiac death due to arrhythmia in young adults; here the abnormal gap junction distribution is dictated by the haphazard myocyte organization characteristic of this condition.
Tonometry during moderate exercise demonstrated an abnormal CO2 gap in all patients with stenoses in one study, and this abnormality was absent in control individuals [ 84].
As abnormal Cx43 gap junction communication between neighboring cells contributes to the development of a set of diseases there is interest to develop therapeutic approaches (i.e., gene therapy, peptidomimetics and small molecules) to modulate Cx43 gap junction communication to counteract pathologies associated with an impaired Cx43 function.
Several studies have supported the observation that a significant number of abnormal anion gaps go unrecognized without correction for the albumin level (which, in the critically ill, is usually low) [ 14- 16].
Ten MDD subjects fell above the gap ("abnormal VTA/SN" subgroup), and 12 fell below it ("normal VTA/SN" subgroup).
Over time the inferior olive gradually becomes hypertrophic and its neurons enlarge developing abnormal soma-somatic gap junctions.
