Its effects are functional and temporary.
Frailty is the result of reduced ability to maintain a physiological and psychosocial equilibrium, thereby increasing the risk of functional disability, temporary or permanent loss of the ability to cope, morbidity, and mortality [ 14- 16].
The platypus, known for its sensitive, rubbery, and "toothless" bill, develops a single, functional if temporary "egg tooth" (apparently used solely for opening its leathery eggshell during hatching) and dentin-containing vestigial molars that are lost by the time they leave their breeding burrow [ 42, 43].
Mottaghy and coworkers have studied the ability of rTMS to produce temporary functional lesions in the BG, an area involved in working memory, and correlated these behavioral effects with changes in regional cerebral blood flow in the involved neuronal network [ 88].
The use of temporary, functional porous materials in regenerative medicine has great potential to reduce the need for replacement of damaged tissue.
Limited information exists on the effects of temporary functional deafferentation (TFD) on brain activity after peripheral nerve block (PNB) in healthy humans.
While often superficial and temporary, functional and cosmetic sequelae, disability or even death can result as a consequence of birth-related injuries.
However, if the effort must be sustained over a prolonged period of time, fatigue appears and the subject's functional efficiency is temporary altered (ISO, 1991; Pretorius & Cilliers, 2007; Young et al., 2015).
These disability weights were derived from health state valuations of a population panel, applying a renewed methodology that focused especially on obtaining and improving injury disability weights for temporary functional losses.
Unfortunately, due to methodological constraints, the redox potential in the tissue microenvironment and the rate of respiration/energy production were only indirectly inferred from the structural changes in the mitochondria, but appropriately interpreted as indicative of their temporary functional disability which correlated with mitosis.
