What's the difference between instability and instable?

Instability


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality or condition of being unstable; want of stability, firmness, or steadiness; liability to give way or to fail; insecurity; precariousness; as, the instability of a building.
  • (n.) Lack of determination of fixedness; inconstancy; fickleness; mutability; changeableness; as, instability of character, temper, custom, etc.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) (4) Despite the removal of the cruciate ligaments and capsulo-ligamentous slide, no significant residual instability was found in either plane.
  • (2) By measurement and analysis of the changes in carpal angles and joint spaces, carpal instability was discovered in 41 fractures, an incidence of 30.6%.
  • (3) Unrecognized flexion injuries of the cervical spine may lead to late instability and neurologic damage.
  • (4) Hypermobility and instability following injury and degenerative joint disease is poorly understood and often not recognized as the cause of the patients symptoms.
  • (5) In these three patients, laxity of the knee in flexion was so severe that posterior instability could not be corrected merely by patellar relocation.
  • (6) Cubitus valgus or instability due to a pseudarthrosis of the lateral epicondyle or to ligamentous injury may stretch the nerve.
  • (7) The hypothesis that this instability would lead to more errors and longer decision times for distinguishing left-right mirror-image figures was not supported.
  • (8) 93 knees in 74 patients between 9 and 20 years of age were operated because of patello-femoral instability.
  • (9) Whereas in flexion stress all methods showed a sufficient stability, the rotation tests proved, that in case of a dorsal instability of the lower cervical spine, posterior interlaminar wiring or anterior plate stabilization showed no reliable stabilization effect.
  • (10) There is a paucity of informative data on the potentially important role of specific sites of chromosomal instability in oncogenic processes.
  • (11) "In-gel renaturation" analysis did not show any DNA amplification of high degree in AT22IJE-T. Cytogenetic analysis showed considerable chromosomal instability in the new cell line, and medium conditioned by these cells contained the clastogenic activity which is characteristic of the parental strain as well.
  • (12) Instability or a return to violence could follow the imposition of measures that would threaten the ability of the PA to govern in the West Bank.
  • (13) This approach was used in 42 shoulders with rotator cuff tears or posterior instability without complications of infection, failure of deltoid healing, or compromise of suprascapular or axillary nerves.
  • (14) Sixteen patients who remained wet had detrusor instability; 9 of these were cured by anticholinergic medications.
  • (15) Atlantoaxial instability, defined as a gap of over 4 mm, was present in seven (10%) children and two (2%) adults.
  • (16) With these scores we expect to facilitate the diagnostic screening, to indicate the way of therapy and to avoid unnecessary surgery for urinary incontinence in cases of motor-urge-incontinence (detrusor instability, unstable bladder), as long as a urodynamic examination is not feasible on every incontinent women.
  • (17) Midcarpal instability occurs at the triquetral-hamate joint and is characterized by a dynamic subluxation of the joint.
  • (18) Structural instability of pZG1 could therefore be due at least in part to the presence of single-stranded DNA.
  • (19) Oxidative stress is now shown to occur in BS cells and may be responsible for the observed chromosomal instability.
  • (20) It is therefore unlikely that the tyrosinylation status directly affects the intrinsic stability of assembled microtubules since the rate of length redistribution is both a sensitive assay and a function of the kinetic parameters governing dynamic instability.

Instable


Definition:

  • (a.) Not stable; not standing fast or firm; unstable; prone to change or recede from a purpose; mutable; inconstant.
