What's the difference between stasis and staticity?
Stasis
Definition:
(n.) A slackening or arrest of the blood current in the vessels, due not to a lessening of the heart's beat, but presumably to some abnormal resistance of the capillary walls. It is one of the phenomena observed in the capillaries in inflammation.
Example Sentences:

(11) In orthopaedic patients, DIC can develop following trauma (crush injuries), tissue necrosis, fat embolism, gram-negative or gram-positive sepsis, and venous stasis (bedrest).
(12) The pathological findings included intestinal stasis, intestinal blockage, acute intestinal rupture and intestinal rupture with peritonitis.
(13) The release of proinflammatory and vasoactive mediators such as leukotrienes (LT), thromboxanes, platelet activating factor (PAF), endothelins and others has been thought to be involved in the pathomechanism of mucosal injury, especially damage to the microvascular endothelium, increased vascular permeability, reduction in mucosal blood flow, vascular stasis, tissue ischemia and glandular cell necrosis.
(14) The plethysmographic measurement of the back flow apart from the phlebography of the arm is recommended for the diagnosis and control of the course of the stasis of the axillary vein.
(15) Chronic idiopathic gastric stasis can be responsible for unexplained dyspepsia.
(16) The diagnosis can be made by demonstrating abrupt cutoff of veins in the cavernous region, preferred retrograde flow of the anterior cavernous sinus, direct venous hemorrhage, and venous stasis.
(17) Sampling conditions (venous stasis, body position) contribute as does the handling of the blood sample before it reaches the laboratory, for example whether an anticoagulant is used and haemolysis, clearly meals have a major effect on serum triglycerides, but even when fasting there is probably also diurnal variation.
(18) There seems to be little evidence for permanent liver damage but very definite evidence for bile stasis and transient morphological changes.
(19) This reduction in flow is probably due to stasis in these superficial vessels, perhaps secondary to vascular damage.
(20) This haemoconcentrating effect of venous stasis seemed to be more pronounced in females than in males.
Staticity
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The significance of the differences in these two patterns of actin is discussed in terms of differences in the accommodative ability and static lens shape in these two animals.
(2) Eddy current transducers measured relative displacements under application of static loads, serially applied in the axial, mediolateral, and craniocaudal directions.
(3) The influence of vestibular dysfunction upon the vestibulospinal reflex (VSR) in two common peripheral syndromes was investigated by two types of posturographic examination: "static" posturography, recording and analyzing the postural sway in stance, and "kinetic" posturography, recording the stepping in place test.
(4) The most important causal factor, well illustrated by pressure studies, was the presence of a dynamic or static deformity leading to local areas of peak pressure on insensitive skin.
(5) Tendon (T) and Hoffmann (H) reflexes were analyzed during static stretching (SS).
(6) We conclude that exposure for 20 min to a 1.5-T static magnetic field does not alter body and skin temperatures in man.
(7) These results were compared with perceptual judgments of "passability" under static and moving viewing conditions.
(8) These studies have revealed striking increases in arm and leg MSNA during static handgrip (SHG) and postexercise circulatory arrest (PECA).
(9) In addition to rapid motions, slow motions were detected by 1H spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (TH1 rho) and cross-polarization time (TCH), together with data from static spectra, indicating that the aliphatic portion of the detergent interacts more strongly with hydrophobic protein surfaces than do the polar heads.
(10) The static high count blood pool images of the deep venous system of the leg are readily interpretable and show good correlation with contrast venography.
(11) We used an endobronchial dividing tube to ventilate one lung with HFV and to keep the contralateral lung of the same dog static with an identical airway pressure, allowing each animal to serve as its own control.
(12) An alternative model suggests a sequential, rather than a static, decision-making process to relate the decision to have an additional child to the reproductive experience to date.
(13) The spin-spin relaxation time T2 may be estimated using multiecho pulse sequences, but the accuracy of the estimate is dependent on the fidelity of the spin-echo amplitudes, which may be severely compromised by rf pulse and static field imperfections.
(14) This is also the case with the static relaxation curve and the force recovery curve (inverse relaxation).
(15) From this special coding of the intended movement static and dynamic control signals can be derived.
(16) Skin displacement increased approximately linearly with increasing forces at the beginning of static stimulation, but over time (at least up to 20 sec), the relationship became negatively accelerated.
(17) The method involves a procedure in which the static pressure of the sample is altered in a short period of time, to approximate an adiabatic process, during which the ultrasonic velocity is measured.
(18) We did not observe any delay in bone-healing when the static method was used.
(19) Acuity for the direction of drift for these stimuli is of the same order of precision as orientation acuity for static or drifting gratings, and exhibits a meridional anisotropy that favours the principal meridians.
(20) As predicted by their static response, the activity of these receptors decreases during inspiration and increases during expiration and therefore it is out of phase with the discharge of the other airway stretch receptors.
