When the disorganization of the peptones is imperfectly performed in the liver, instead of urea there is a production of lithates and lithic acid, constituting the condition called lithaemia.
It was formerly called also lithic acid, in allusion to its occurrence in stone, or calculus.
Defn: Pertaining to, or designating, an acid (called also lithic acid) found in certain red precipitates of urine.
Of or pertaining to stone; as, lithic architecture.
Observations upon the Lithic Acid, and its Combinations with the Salifiable Bases[53].
To this concrete acid, which Mr de Morveau calls Lithiasic Acid, we give the name of Lithic Acid, the nature and properties of which are hitherto very little known.
Hamelin's mastic or lithic paint to cover the facades of brick buildings, &c.
It has been used as a solvent for lithic calculi, and in gout, &c.
Mr Alexander Ure recommends a dilute solution of this substance as an injection in lithic calculus, as it is a better solvent of uric acid than either borax or the alkaline carbonates.
Several poor men and women broke out in great blisters the following morning, the serum from which was carefully collected and evaporated in the laboratory for pretty crystals of lithic acid.
I wish to investigate," said one of his dressers, "the presence of lithic acid in the blood of rheumatic patients.
Red Dog was squat, ebony, taper-nosed, distinguishable from the lithic structures dotting this section of Crater Arzachel only by its symmetry.
Yet it seemed a part of the plain, as ancient as the brooding dolomites and diorites which made the floor of Arzachel a lithic wonderland.
Such a mistake might well be excused if they happened to be encrusted withlithic matter.
The most depending part of the bladder is that where lithic concretions take place; and if a sacculus exist here, this, becoming a recipient for the matter, will favour the formation of stone.
When an obstruction exists, lithic concretions take place in the urinary apparatus in the same manner as sedimentary particles cohere or crystallize elsewhere.
The chief of these diseases are, Diabetes; Oxaluria; Lithic deposit in the urine; and the true Arthritic disorders, i.
The deposits in which solvents are appropriate are termed respectivelyLithic and Phosphatic.
Excessive indulgence in animal food or in wine may cause an over-secretion ofLithic acid.
The secretion of alkalies is mainly performed by the kidneys, and by their agency we may render the urine neutral or alkaline, and thus counteract a tendency to lithic deposits.
Golding Bird advised the substitution of Nitro-hydrochloric acid, which has proved to be a most valuable remedy, not only in this disorder, but also in some cases of lithic deposit.
Again, deposits may be caused by an excess of acid or of alkali in the blood, which excess is excreted by the kidneys, and causes a lithic or phosphatic gravel, without an excess of Lithates or of Phosphates in the urine.
Acids and alkalies have already been mentioned as efficacious in these instances; the former in phosphatic, the latter in lithic deposits.
Acids dissolve a phosphatic, and Alkalies or their carbonates a lithic deposit, in the body, as well as out of it.
An acid may at length cause a lithic deposit in the urine; or, still more frequently, an alkali may produce a phosphatic sediment.
Alkalies are thus of use in a tendency tolithic acid deposit.
Bird has found Colchicum to be of signal service in cases of lithic deposit in the urine; and has proved the same medicine to be efficacious in Oxaluria.
For the solvent passes out along with each successive quantity of the Lithic or Phosphatic matter that is formed and excreted.
Similarly, in Oxaluria, oxalic acid is found there; in Lithiasis, lithic acid in excess.
It is clear that it is capable of retarding the formation in the system, and deposit in the urine, of lithic acid and oxalate of lime; though its modus operandi is not determined with certainty.
A suppression of the secretion of the skin causes a lithic deposit in some cases, as in a common "cold.
The latter, when given in excess, may prove hurtful by causing a lithic deposit in the urine.
Hence the immediate cause of the deposition of lithic acid gravel is generally a destructible acid of very weak powers: even, perhaps, in some instances, the carbonic acid.
I have also seen it connected, as lithic acid frequently is, with a tendency to cutaneous disease.
Lithic acid, as has been before stated, exists in a state of combination in healthy urine; and in such a proportion, as to be held in a state of solution at all ordinary temperatures.
PROUT combats very successfully the opinion, generally entertained by chemists, that the power of healthy urine to redden litmus depends on the presence of free lithic acid.
That this power cannot depend upon lithic acid uncombined, is made evident to Dr.
Most commonly it is composed of a lithic acid or mulberry nucleus, and an external crust of the fusible calculus.
Noteably both these grinding elements are rare in the coastal San Dieguito and in the Lake Mohave area but do occur among the Shoshonean and Yuman groups who occupied the areas corresponding to these ancient lithic cultures.
Habitual thinking has perhaps contributed to the general idea that a lithic assemblage of core tools characterized by percussion flaking has come to represent both antiquity and a hunting- or skin-dressing economy.
To this point it is difficult to explain large lithic concentrations consisting of unworked stone, broken metates and manos, core tools, and occasional sections of human long bones.
Paramount for an explanation is the "abnormal" quantity of lithic artifacts classed under the broad heading of core and flake tools which occur in the Tank Site.
Early Lithic Industries of the Lower Basin of the Colorado River and Adjacent Desert Areas.
Lithic tools and rejects, however, were found on the slope just southeast of the Biencourt residence, apparently weathering from a higher source.
Often, along the coast, beach cobbles and cobbles from marine conglomerate provide the only lithic source close at hand, and a resulting tool made from a cobble resembles more a chopper or a "teshoa" flake.
The problem was to gain an estimate of the number of lithic sites within the canyon drainage, and the points of similarity and difference between these and the Tank Site.
In American archaeology it has been popular to assume that flaked lithic assemblages automatically imply a hunting and skin-dressing economy.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "lithic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: adamant; flinty; petrified; rock; stone
