Other organisms, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Treponema pallidum (the spirochete that causes syphilis), may cause more chronic inflammatory changes without pus but involving a characteristic arrangement of mononuclear inflammatory cells called histiocytes.
Most oxidation-reduction (redox) processes involve the transfer of oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, or electrons, with all three processes sharing two important characteristics: (1) they are coupled i.e., in any oxidation reaction a reciprocal reduction occurs, and (2) they involve a characteristic net chemical change i.e., an atom or electron goes from one unit of matter to another.
It is important to suggest LS preoperatively using MSI analyses and immunohistochemistry in cases involving a characteristic family history, past medical history and pathological findings in biopsy specimens.
The second phase involved a characteristic decrease of the natural frequency due to the damage to each girder after the load test.
All the data collapse onto a master curve when plotted in terms of dimensionless numbers involving a characteristic length which is a function of R. We deduce an empirical model for the flow characteristics in such a case.
Guyer argues that while there is displeasure in the ugly it always involves an interest; Ginsborg allows also for disinterested judgments of ugliness, but denies that these involve a characteristic feeling of displeasure; rather, we judge that something is ugly if it lacks beauty in a context where beauty is expected.
But the label is usually applied much more broadly to any view explicitly embracing the idea that truth consists in a relation to reality, i.e., that truth is a relational property involving a characteristic relation (to be specified) to some portion of reality (to be specified).
Valproic acid (VPA) is a widely used preventive treatment for seizures and bipolar disorder [36], but its use during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of congenital abnormalities, often involving a characteristic mix of central nervous system and craniofacial defects [16].
