Lexical definition

The lexical definition of a term, also known as the dictionary definition, is the definition closely matching the meaning of the term in common usage. As its other name implies, this is the sort of definition one is likely to find in the dictionary. A lexical definition is usually the type expected from a request for definition, and it is generally expected that such a definition will be stated as simply as possible in order to convey information to the widest audience.

Intension et extension

En logique, l’intension (ou « compréhension ») et l’extension sont deux façons de définir un concept. L'intension d'un concept est sa définition. Par exemple, l'intension de « chat » est : « animal à quatre pattes de la famille des félins ». L'extension est l'ensemble des choses auxquelles l'intension (la définition) s'applique. Par exemple : mon chat, le chat de mon voisin, les chats siamois, etc.

Artificial kidney

Artificial kidney is often a synonym for hemodialysis, but may also refer to the other renal replacement therapies (with exclusion of kidney transplantation) that are in use and/or in development. This article deals mainly with bioengineered kidneys/bioartificial kidneys that are grown from renal cell lines/renal tissue. The first successful artificial kidney was developed by Willem Kolff in the Netherlands during the early 1940s: Kolff was the first to construct a working dialyzer in 1943.
