Predictors that were no part of the CCA model entered the MI-5 model for persistent shoulder disability (e.g. duration of complaints, somatisation, external locus of control and age) were included in the MI-5 model.
In experimentally injured rat livers induced by ligature of the common bile duct, a model for persistent fibrogenesis and cirrhosis, administration of the adenoviral vector abrogates TGF-β-enhanced production of collagen and α-smooth muscle actin.
There were no systematic patterns to the lack of fit for models for persistent cough, shortness of breath, or short-acting inhaler use.
ApcMin mice with heterozygous disruption of Pten develop invasive carcinomas that are large, making this a good animal model for studying persistent activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway in colorectal cancer [41].
The local injection of formalin into the hind paw of rodents represents a model for inducing persistent inflammatory pain, which generates a nociceptive biphasic response, oedema, and inflammation [ 35].
The results concerning the effects of diabetes and severe obesity did not change when ASA score and BMI were added to the adjusted models: OR for persistent pain in patients with previously diagnosed diabetes was 20 (CI: 3 132) and OR for a painful joint in severely obese patients was 4 (CI: 1.3 14).
Study results confirmed the model of persistent HCV infection as a risk factor for the pathogenesis of both liver and lymphoproliferative disorders.
This work introduces a concept we call BigBackground, which is a model for representing large, persistent scene features based on chromatic self-similarity.
The results of our studies on the experimental acid-saline model for development of persistent muscle pain suggest that changes in the phenotype of muscle spindle primary afferent neurons could be linked to the development of allodynia and hyperalgesia as seen in Myofascial pain, Fibromyalgia, and Temporomandibular disorders.
There appears to be a synergistic interaction between viral infection and allergic sensitization, suggesting a "two hit" model for induction of persistent asthma.
Many factors contribute to this gap in healthcare for consumers with LBP, including the failure of evidence to be translated into best practice [ 5- 7], an inadequately trained and skilled health workforce [ 8, 9] and a lack of co-ordinated interdisciplinary care [ 10], the latter being a favoured model for consumers with persistent LBP [ 11].
