The EORTC QLQ-C30 [ 15], an internationally validated and widely used cancer-specific QOL-instrument, assesses various facets of functioning, symptoms common in cancer patients and global QOL.
The isometric pull task is a significant advance in operant conditioning systems designed to automate the measurement of multiple facets of forelimb function and assess deficits in rodent models of brain damage and motor dysfunction.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides numerous techniques for image-based surrogates of different facets of function.
In this review, we outline how basic facets of executive functioning (updating, inhibiting, and shifting) contribute to the successful self-regulation of eating behavior.
They assessed different facets of perceptual functioning, including higher-level and lower-level perceptual skills, part/whole conceptual integration, and color perception.
NOD proteins function as cytosolic microbial pattern recognition molecules and share many facets of form and function with the ancient family of plant disease resistance proteins (Litman et al., 2005; Ting et al., 2008; Sabbah et al., 2009).
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) in its many facets of structure and function is becoming more fully understood, and, therefore, it is possible to design and use RNAs as valuable tools in molecular biology and medicine.
The YASR, CBCL and YSR belong to the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA, http://www.aseba.org), which provides age-adjusted instruments to assess similar facets of maladaptive functioning from 1.5 to 90 years.
Alternatively, given the central role of the insula in multimodal processing, the connection between structural and functional changes in the insula and PTSD may be more complex and may touch on more facets of brain function than emotion identification and verbalization.
However, when assessing splenic function in a clinical setting, physicians should be aware of the multiple facets of spleen function (as described in Table 1) and thus the different possible approaches to determining splenic function.
