Immobile


Definition:

  • (a.) Incapable of being moved; immovable; fixed; stable.

  • (20) The antigen purified on immobilized mAb MEM-102 is recognized by all six known CD48 mAbs under western blotting conditions.

Impaired


Definition:

  • (imp. & p. p.) of Impair

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Clinical signs of disease developed as early as 15 days after transition to the experimental diets and included impaired vision, decreased response to external stimuli, and abnormal gait.
  • (2) The various evocational changes appear to form sets of interconnected systems and this complex network seems to embody some plasticity since it has been possible to suppress experimentally some of the most universal evocational events or alter their temporal order without impairing evocation itself.
  • (3) The CHI patients were impaired overall on the FTE but not the CTE.
  • (4) We studied the effects of the localisation and size of ischemic brain infarcts and the influence of potential covariates (gender, age, time since infarction, physical handicap, cognitive impairment, aphasia, cortical atrophy and ventricular size) on 'post-stroke depression'.

  • (6) These findings suggest that aerosolization of ATP into the cystic fibrosis-affected bronchial tree might be hazardous in terms of enhancement of parenchymal damage, which would result from neutrophil elastase release, and in terms of impaired respiratory lung function.
