The de Morton Mobility Index: Normative Data for a Clinically Useful Mobility Instrument
Determining mobility status is an important component of any health assessment for older adults. In order for a mobility measure to be relevant and meaningful, normative data are required for comparison to a healthy reference population. The DEMMI is the first mobility instrument to measure mobility across the spectrum from bed bound to functional levels of independent mobility. In this cross-s...
متن کاملGedankenexperiment or just a flight of fancy?
What’s faster than the speed of light? The speed of thought they say. Not in the strict sense of metres per second taken for an impulse to travel down a neuronal axon, but in metaphor. For in an instant, the human mind can transport itself from terra firma to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, zoom into the tiniest organelle in the tiniest prokaryote, or even just jump onto some entirely alter...
متن کاملUrinary proteomics can define distinct diagnostic inflammatory arthritis subgroups
Current diagnostic tests applied to inflammatory arthritis lack the necessary specificity to appropriately categorise patients. There is a need for novel approaches to classify patients with these conditions. Herein we explored whether urinary proteomic biomarkers specific for different forms of arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), osteoarthritis (OA)) or chronic inf...
متن کاملDNA Methylation as Clinically Useful Biomarkers—Light at the End of the Tunnel
A recent expansion of our knowledge about epigenetic changes strongly suggests that epigenetic rather than genetic features better reflect disease development, and consequently, can become more conclusive biomarkers for the detection and diagnosis of different diseases. In this paper we will concentrate on the current advances in DNA methylation studies that demonstrate a direct link between ab...
متن کاملA clinically useful method for evaluating lymphedema.
Lymphedema can be an unfortunate side effect of cancer treatment. It is a chronic condition that, if ignored, can lead to disfigurement, immobilization, and severe infections. Several methods for assessing lymphedema are used in clinical practice, and some of these methods are reported in the literature. Although these methods can be useful and provide meaningful data, they also can be time con...
