\"neville_goodman\"<\/a>In the column about icebergs<\/a> (qv), I mentioned <\/span>repertoire<\/span> used instead of <\/span>number<\/span>: <\/span>\u201cexpanding repertoire of targets for immune inhibition in bladder cancer\u201d<\/span>. <\/span>R<\/span>epertoire<\/span> <\/span>and<\/span> reperto<\/span>ry<\/span> are two similar words connected with the performing arts. <\/span><\/p>\n

Repertoire<\/span>\u2014which is (COD) the body of pieces known or regularly performed by an artist or company\u2014is the commoner in PubMed\u00ae; there are about 30,000. Many are articles about the <\/span>immune repertoire<\/span>: the number of different sub-types an organism\u2019s immune system makes of any of the six key types of immune protein. There are far more of them than Verdi\u2019s operas or Shakespeare\u2019s plays, from one of the best of which this column takes its title. There is a company called iRepertoire Inc\u2122, who will do the sequencing for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Repertoire may have been used earlier in molecular biology, but the <\/span>first use<\/span><\/a> of <\/span>immune repertoire<\/span> in PubMed\u00ae was in 1976. Seeking other uses, I came across a few literal ones dealing with plays and opera, and some dealing with birdsong. Metaphorically, there are the repertoires of the cardiac surgeon and the neurosurgeon, although most surgeons nowadays do not enter with a flourish and take a bow at the end. Otherwise, <\/span>repertoire<\/span> is largely an unnecessary replacement of a simpler word, most commonly <\/span>number<\/span> or <\/span>range<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

A repertoire being a number of plays or operas, each of which is a complex assemblage of words, music, and stage directions, <\/span>repertoire<\/span> is just wrong applied to the range of locomotor gaits of a mouse, in \u201cthe therapeutic repertoire available for multiple sclerosis\u201d, or referring to the extractive foraging techniques of macaques. Patients report a <\/span>range<\/span>, not a <\/span>repertoire<\/span>, of symptoms. To write of the umbilicus and \u201cits extensive clinical repertoire\u201d brings to mind belly dancing rather than surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Repertory<\/span> (COD) is the performance of plays in the repertoire at regular short intervals, but there are two other meanings: as a synonym for <\/span>repertoire<\/span>, and as a repository or collection of information. It appears far less often in PubMed\u2014there are about 500\u2014and about half of its uses are, like <\/span>repertoire<\/span>, because of an accepted phrase, the <\/span>repertory grid<\/span><\/a>, which is an interviewing technique. <\/span><\/p>\n

Common to both words is that they are often superfluous. Instead of, \u201c<\/span>This behavior is a stereotyped repertory of fore and hind limb movements<\/span>\u2026\u201d, write just, \u201cThis behaviour is stereotypical fore and hind limb movements.\u201d <\/span>The reasons behind AIDS conspiracy theories<\/span> is not a \u201cre<\/span>curring repertory of themes, motifs and characters<\/span>\u201d, it is just, \u201cre<\/span>curring themes, motifs and characters<\/span>\u201d<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

I feel a little sorry for the Turkish authors of an article about pneumothorax, who I am sure meant respiratory failure when they listed one of its sequelae as repertory failure.<\/span><\/p>\n
