Problems typically include difficulties with obtaining needs assessments, putting together comprehensive service packages, coordinating multiple providers and services, ensuring continuity, and monitoring health and functional status [ 14].
This characterization comprised growth in the presence or absence of serum in defined AECGM, the comparison of primary and passaged cells, and the monitoring biochemical and functional expression of tight junctions.
8 In our study, prospectively collected 24 h ambulatory impedance-pH monitoring data and functional dyspepsia questionnaires in a large group of unselected NERD patients off PPI treatment led us to show that clinically relevant dyspeptic symptoms are present in 44% of the NERD population, in accordance with other investigations.
Because of their societal impacts, these volcanoes are subject to careful monitoring, and fully functional observatories have been installed in their vicinity for this purpose.
Here, we describe the development of an EST catalogue that will support ecosystem genomics studies, where geneticists, ecophysiologists, molecular biologists and ecologists join their efforts for understanding, monitoring and predicting functional genetic diversity.
Like the NPI, the NPI caregiver distress total score demonstrated its highest correlation with the HABC-Monitor behavioral/psychological domain (0.74), and moderate and significant correlations with the HABC-Monitor cognitive and functional domain scores.
Intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence, far-UV CD and enzyme activity were employed to monitor structural and functional changes due to chemical denaturation.
The International Knee Documentation Committee IKDCC) Subjective Knee Form, in particular, monitors symptoms and functional status (both in daily and sports activities) and has been extensively validated in patients with various knee pathologies [13, 14] and meniscus injuries [7].
This methodology will help (1) to identify microbial groups in complex communities; (2) to relate taxonomic groups to their ecological function (as demonstrated for the soil crenarchaeota); and (3) to efficiently monitor structural and functional community shifts caused by environmental changes.
