Finally, 5 classes with different patterns of functioning and increasing levels of functional dependency were identified, these were all clinically understandable from the medical point of view.
It also helps to identify possible risk factors that are associated with different patterns of functioning and therefore makes it possible to predict specific trajectories of functioning.
In conclusion, the aim of the study is to obtain more insight into functioning and the different patterns of functioning and QoL in older adults with joint pain and comorbidity.
Our results have revealed different patterns of substance use, health, and social functioning among men and women currently receiving methadone treatment for opioid addiction in Ontario, Canada.
In the present study, we were able to demonstrate different patterns of gross motor function and manual ability in the different CP subtypes.
Regardless, whether paedomorphic and metamorphic larvae show similar or different patterns of neurological development and function has not been previously investigated.
In the human colonic gland, these splice variants display different patterns of expression suggesting specific functions for each variant.
It is not yet clear whether these different patterns of gene expression reflect specific functions; however, the functional significance of cellular heterogeneity is beginning to emerge from the differences observed in cell behaviour.
Mitral valve diseases may affect normal mitral-aortic coupling and aortic valve function; different patterns of abnormal mitral-aortic coupling are associated with different Carpentier types of mitral regurgitation.
Upon activation by antigens, naive CD4+ T cells differentiate into specialized effector T (Teff) cells (Th1, Th2, or Th17), which secrete different patterns of cytokines and perform different functions [ 1].
