A test for ligamentous instability of the knee performed by stabilizing the femur while placing a valgus stress on the knee by abducting the leg. A moderate joint line separation with the knee fully extended indicates a tear of the medial collateral ligament and the posterior capsule. If the test is only positive in 30 degrees of flexion, it represents an isolated medial collateral ligament tear. A marked medial joint line opening in extension is only possible when both cruciate ligaments are also torn.  3, record 1, English, - abduction%20test

Manœuvre destinée à évaluer l'instabilité du genou. Le fémur étant immobilisé, on exerce une tension en valgus sur le genou en forçant la jambe vers l'extérieur. Un écart modéré de l'interligne articulaire, le genou étant en extension, indique une déchirure du ligament latéral interne et de la capsule postéro-interne. Si l'épreuve n'est positive que lorsque le genou est fléchi à 30°, elle indique la déchirure seule du ligament latéral interne. Une ouverture marquée de l'interligne articulaire, le membre étant en extension, n'est possible que si les deux ligaments croisés sont également déchirés.  1, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20d%27abduction

An angle formed by a line drawn through the longitudinal axes of the radius, lunate, capitate, and third metacarpal and a line drawn through the longitudinal axis of the scaphoid. On a lateral radiograph of a normal wrist in neutral position, this angle averages 47 °, with a range of 30 to 60 °. An angle of less than 30 ° or more than 60 ° suggests carpal instability.  4, record 4, English, - scapholunate%20angle

Dans le cadre des instabilités du carpe, s'observent d'une part une désaxation en Z des axes respectifs du radius, du semi-lunaire et du grand os, et d'autre part des modifications de l'angle scapho-lunaire notamment augmenté dans les instabilités externes telles la disjonction scapho-lunaire.

An issue of considerable interest is the so-called multicellular thunderstorm system, as opposed to supercells, which are often presumed to be unicellular. A form of multicellular convection that has already been simulated extensively is the squall line. The typical method for simulating this form of deep line-oriented convection has been to release a number of laterally-aligned IB’s. After the initial storms develop, their outflows merge, producing a line of convection resembling a squall line. Squall lines are not the only type of multicellular convection observed, however. In isolated multicell storms, a succession of updrafts is typical.  1, record 5, English, - multicellular%20thunderstorm%20system

Thunderstorms are often classified into a spectrum based on their cell structure : single cells, multicellular storms, and supercells. The type of storm depends on the instability and relative wind conditions at different layers of the atmosphere(shear). The "single-cell"(unicell) thunderstorm is [a] three-stage situation... usually lasting about 30 minutes from the start of significant precipitation. A severe unicell storm is often referred to as a pulse thunderstorm.... In a multicell thunderstorm, several thunderstorm cells merge into a larger system. The cloud becomes divided into updraft and downdraft regions separated by a gust front. The gust front may extend for several miles ahead of the storm, bringing with it increases in wind speed and atmospheric pressure, decreases in temperature, and shifts in wind direction. The storm itself will have different portions sequentually going through the various thunderstorm stages. In many cases the immature cells develop along a line known as a "flanking line, "resulting in what is known as a line multicell.  6, record 5, English, - multicellular%20thunderstorm%20system
