The lack of attention to "disability" or "impairment" in general may have a simple explanation: there were no such concepts to attend to until 19th century scientific thinking put variations in human function and form into categories of abnormality and deviance.
Microcalcifications are one of the main categories of abnormalities detectable by mammograms.
These two categories of abnormalities might be interpreted as vulnerability indicators (5, 6).
Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) defined the presence of any category of glucose abnormality (IFG, IGT, and diabetes).
Table 2 provides information on the median HC2 viral load and inter-quartile range by each category of cervical abnormality.
However, because greater age was associated with every category of established abnormality that we examined and greater age was associated with lower SBP response, it is conceivable that a lower SBP response is associated with higher risk of adverse CVD outcomes.
This condition is best placed in that category of teratological abnormalities known as monstrosities.
Many tyrannosaurids display a second category of cranial abnormalities distinct from the traumas associated with head-biting.
As expected, moving from NGT to worsening categories of carbohydrate abnormality was associated with a progressively worsening cardiovascular profile, while cardiovascular parameters in diabetic patients were likely influenced by medications.
In particular, we focused on the presence of continuing pain and associated disability (including impacts on employment) as outcome measures, and whether, after allowance for treatment, these were predicted by the presence or absence of each of four categories of spinal abnormality.
