How can you use “abnormal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Previous research reports that physicians are more likely to diagnose hyperlipidemia if laboratory reports show abnormal lipid levels [14].
Placental ERα expression in vivo is high in normal placentae and barely detectable in abnormal placentae.
During the third trimester, and after 34-36 weeks of pregnancy in particular, the placenta may develop an abnormality, often classified as placental aging [ 19 20 21 22 23 24 ] . These abnormal placentae are characterized by generalized interstitial fibrosis and fibrinoid degeneration of villous stroma, and are associated with cellular apoptosis and congestion of villous sinusoids [ 24 25 26 27 ] . Immunohistochemically, villous abnormality is associated with progressive diminution of Thy-1 differentiation protein in the villous core [ 28 ] . Marked changes in villous structure are particularly associated with advanced maternal age [ 29 30 ] . We have recently reported that, with respect to the Thy-1 expression, compensatory dilatation of villous sinusoids, and placental expression of low molecular weight cyclin E variants, the term placentae can be classified into four placental types (PT1-PT4) [ 30 ] , where PT4 corresponds to the most severe placental abnormality.
This supports a view that, regardless of pathophysiology, the intensity of in vivo ERα expression can be utilized for discrimination between the two basic categories only, the normal (NP; PT1 and PT2) and the abnormal placentae (AP; PT3 and PT4).
For such abnormal distributions, concepts like mathematical average and standard deviation are not the most appropriate statistical terms to use.
