Functional limitation, bony enlargement, coarse crepitus, fixed flexion deformity and reduced flexion range of motion appear to be relatively robust indicators of knee OA [ 2].
Echocardiography showed two neighboring ASDs centrally located within the atrial septum with a length of 27 mm resulting in significant left-to-right shunting, significant right heart enlargement, and functional pulmonary stenosis.
The functional significance of the enlargement or excess arborization of oligodendrocytes occupying the interfibrial space in the CC after stress exposure is not clear at present.
Only the lymphatic vessel would directly connect the tumor to the draining LN to deliver tumor cells, so that the enlargement of functional lymphatic vessels could facilitate LN metastasis.
On CT scan, the classic 'bear paw sign' can be seen with the triad of unilateral renal enlargement, non-functional kidney, and pelvic or ureteric obstructing calculus [ 2].
We assumed that significant enlargement of the functional properties of the family of quaternary ZrCuSiAs-like pnictide-oxides, often called also 1111 phases, which are known now first of all as parent phases for new FeAs superconductors, may be achieved by replacement of non-magnetic ions by magnetic ions in semiconducting ZrCuSiAs-like phases.
Primary neural leprosy was diagnosed if nerve enlargement associated with functional or sensory loss was detected but no skin signs were present.
The major component of COPD, which affects the gas-exchanging parenchyma of the lung, emphysema, is characterized by destruction of alveolar septae leading to loss of functional surface, loss of alveoli and enlargement of remaining distal airspaces.
Loss of functional pendrin expression leads to an enlargement of the membranous labyrinth that displaces mesenchymal cells that normally surround the epithelial duct.
During this evolution, the divergence of MCPH1 protein sequences among primates may have caused functional changes that contribute to brain enlargement.
