"In the progression of massive hepatic necrosis one singles out the stages of yellow atrophy, red atrophy and recovery."
What is the meaning of "one singles out" in this context?
Based on Merriam Webster dictionary, 'singles out' means to treat or to speak about. But still nothing understandable for me in this context.
Would you replace 'singles out' with 'treats' here?
"In the progression of massive hepatic necrosis one treats the stages of yellow atrophy, red atrophy and recovery."
