Body weight gain, feed intake and tibia breaking strength were depressed (P≤0.01) and leg abnormality score increased with increase in level of Ca at lower levels of NPP (3 and 3.5 g kg−1 diet) at 14, 28 and 42 days of age.
In an attempt to correlate SD OCT features of ROP with vascular changes documented on fundus images, Maldonado et al. [ 32 ] have investigated the role of 3D-volume analysis and proposed the vascular abnormality score by OCT (VASO).
The results indicated that the aggregated gait abnormality score from multiple subjects have a strong correlation with the existence of installed fall hazards such as obstacles and slippery surfaces.
To coalesce the weight of these features, a Vascular Abnormality Score by OCT (VASO) was created.
In this sense, residuals capture individual deviations from a hypothetical, average control, thereby providing a straightforward abnormality score to measure the size of individual CP participants' deficit.
The abnormality score for each zone was calculated by multiplying the percentage area by the point value (1 6).
49 The abnormality score (total number of OMCCs with OMD) for children with CP was significantly different from the comparison group (p<0.0001).
Each joint was assessed in accordance with the evaluation criteria shown as follows: Score 0, No abnormality; Score 1, Swelling not visible but can be determined by touch; Score 2, Swelling slightly visible and can be confirmed by touch; Score 3, Swelling clearly visible; Score 4, Rigidity of the joints.
Screening positive in Step 2 for potential PD was defined as any abnormality (score >0) on the tremor-at-rest or postural tremor items of the UPDRS, OR a score >0 on at least two other items.
Bone erosion was graded as score 0, no abnormality; score 1, small areas of resorption; score 2, more numerous areas of resorption, not readily apparent on low magnification; 3, obvious resorption in trabecular and cortical bone, and lesions apparent on low magnification; score 4, thickness defects in the cortical bone and trabecular bone loss.
