The ethics committee is functioning with difficulties due to a lack of capacity and funding.
The WOMAC questionnaire evaluates pain, stiffness and function with five difficulty-based response options in patients with hip and/or knee OA [ 18].

The aim of this case series report was to evaluate the effects of perioperative and postoperative use of levosimendan in cardio-surgical patients with high perioperative risk, compromised left ventricular (LV) function or with difficulties in weaning from the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Impairment in physical functioning correlated closely with difficulty in accessing health care services, which was stronger in patients with no significant co-morbidity (n = 16; rho = -0.52, P < 0.05).
It has been generally supposed that such inconsistency might be purely a function of difficulties with this assay, with malondialdehyde being regarded as a relative rather than an absolute marker of lipid peroxidation [ 1, 5].
Similarly, there were 2 (0.6%) subjects at the ceiling for OA-FUNCTION-CAT functional difficulty compared with 10 (3%) for the WOMAC physical function scale.
"Our schools are functioning with major difficulties because of the bombing and the students' fear of going to school gravely affects their education".
Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with pain, reduced grip strength, loss of range of motion and joint stiffness leading to impaired hand function and difficulty with daily activities.
Hand OA is associated with pain, reduced grip strength, loss of range of motion (ROM), and joint stiffness, leading to impaired hand function and difficulty with daily activities [ 2].
FIT-HaNSA was designed to test the endurance of the shoulder, with the expectation that the difficulty of the sustained tasks would distinguish between individuals with varying degrees of shoulder function with the relative task difficulty depending on the nature of the underlying shoulder pathology.
