In other literature, a more common term used is traumatic brain injuries (TBI), defined as an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force (Menon et al. 2010).

This could indicate an alteration in the function of p130 Cas as pluripotent cells differentiate.
Importantly, SIFT does not predict whether an alteration in protein function will be sufficient to cause disease.
The procedure should be fast and simple and select those most likely to have an alteration in auditory function [ 6].
Watson (2002) suggested that the increase in phosphate occurring together with a decrease in calcium implied an alteration in renal function.
Drug transporters are expressed throughout the body and an alteration in their function can result in changes in absorption, distribution and excretion of their substrates.
Therefore the results may reflect the need for the 'system' to experience less or no pain for longer in order to cause an alteration in trunk function.
