(3) For the purposes of this section, substantial mobility impairment means a spinal cord injury or dysfunction or other chronic impairment that substantially limits mobility.
Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency (TD) produces a mild, chronic impairment of oxidative metabolism that models the diminished metabolism and reduced activities of the thiamine-dependent mitochondrial enzymes that occur in brain in several common age-related neurodegenerative disorders.
We concluded that Mg deficiency induced a chronic impairment of redox status associated with inflammation which could significantly contribute to increased oxidized lipids and promote hypertension and vascular disorders with aging.
A chronic impairment that substantially limits mobility includes but is not limited to a traumatic brain injury that compromises a veteran's ability to make appropriate decisions based on environmental cues (i.e., traffic lights or dangerous obstacles) or a seizure disorder that causes a veteran to become immobile during and after a seizure event.
Hypercontractility of the affected vessels, ultimately leading to chronic impairment of cerebral blood flow (cerebral hypoperfusion), thus contributes to neurodegeneration.
Early studies questioned the association between lithium and chronic impairment in glomerular function (Vestergaard et al. 1979; Vestergaard and Amdisen 1981; Boton et al. 1987; Walker 1993; Walker et al. 1982; Bendz et al. 1983 , 1994 Coskunol et al. 1997; Paul et al. 2010).
The inflammation resulted in chronic impairment of colonic motility in DSS-WT mice.
The inflammation in turn results in chronic impairment of GI motility.
TB results in QALY loss because of illness, chronic impairment, and death yet TB is a preventable disease.
The current TB elimination strategy in low-incidence areas emphasizes case prevention through treatment of LTBI, but does not consider the value of potential savings from preventing chronic impairment in treatment recommendations [41] [43].
SNX rats demonstrated chronic impairment of diastolic function as demonstrated by an elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure volume relationship (LV EDPVR), a marker of impaired left ventricular compliance (Fig. 6).
