I've probably got an ulcer.

Trees epitomize stasis.

This is by Z. Zhou, and he's interested in stasis.

We would then be voting for a world in stasis.

Venous return is the rate of blood flow back to the heart.

A PICC line or central venous catheter is often placed for this purpose.

This anomalous pulmonary venous return can be either partial (PAPVR) or total (TAPVR).

One factor that contributed to institutional stasis was the absence of a persuasive alternative.

After giving a cryptic speech, he extracts Gordon from danger and places him in stasis once again.

During most visits he had complaints concerning his general health, including a bad back, gastric ulcer, kidney infection and thyroid problems, causing, inter alia, sleeping problems.

The Bainbridge reflex, also called the atrial reflex, is an increase in heart rate due to an increase in central venous pressure.

Blood stasis syndrome, or blood stagnation (Chinese Xue Yu ) is an important underlying pathology of many disease processes according to traditional Chinese medicine.

This regional stasis may worsen as a result of growing nationalism an increase in social divisions within states weapons proliferation and an increase in military spending and environmental degradation.

The silver electrode of the moxa was applied to the ulcer to be healed, while the zinc electrode was applied a few inches away to a place where the upper layer of skin had been cut away.

There can be no room for any form of ideological stasis, which would discourage emulation, fail to recognize intelligence, and paralyse creativity in the search for solutions to people's problems.

That is why the prospect of rising German labor costs, after a decade of stasis, is actually one of the few positive economic developments on the European scene hardly something that the ECB should resist.

Speciation events are important in the theory of punctuated equilibrium, which accounts for the pattern in the fossil record of short bursts of evolution interspersed with relatively long periods of stasis, where species remain relatively unchanged.

I believe that it will have to be in sort of stasis, to the extent that we have agreed to give our full support to the Presidents of the Disarmament Commission to make one last attempt.

Since the heart is a 'demand pump', that pumps out whatever blood comes back into it from the venous system, it is effectively the amount of blood returning to the heart that determines how much blood the heart pumps out ( Q ).

Pulsatile tinnitus is usually objective in nature, resulting from altered blood flow, increased blood turbulence near the ear (such as from atherosclerosis, venous hum, but it can also arise as a subjective phenomenon from an increased awareness of blood flow in the ear.

In the 1970s Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge proposed the theory of punctuated equilibrium which holds that stasis is the most prominent feature of the fossil record, and that most evolutionary changes occur rapidly over relatively short periods of time.

Maintaining this policy stasis is the great challenge facing Kim Jong un and Kim Kyong hui. For, although government is now clearly centered on the party, the regime could yet unravel, and perhaps collapse, if the food shortage is not resolved and other power structures decide to step into the breach.

And then you see sort of like a stasis coming on where the system essentially waits for a new type of innovation, like this one, which is going to spread over all the other innovations that were before and is erasing the genes that it had before, until a new type of higher level of complexity has been achieved.
