Furthermore, downstream monitoring of metabolic impairment, as indicated by parameters such as cerebral lactate, lactate/pyruvate ratio, glucose/lactate ratio and glutamate level, is indispensible in identifying adequate and optimal blood glucose level, which is required for subsequent decision making and treatment.
Functional impairment Monitoring of function is a basic tool in most comprehensive geriatric assessments, since functional impairment is a common problem of older patients and has strong influence on morbidity and mortality [ 41 ].
Subsequent optimization of treatment involves on-going assessment for adequate efficacy and remission of impairment, and monitoring and treating treatment-emergent adverse events and adherence to the agreed therapeutic regimen [ 1, 15, 17, 66, 75, 77, 91, 93].
However, these biomarkers may be insufficient for the measurement of residual function of the kidney because they monitor damage but not severity of impairment of kidney function [48].
The CDR sum of boxes has been demonstrated as a particularly sensitive method of monitoring progression of cognitive impairment over time [ 38].
Instead of monitoring some particular impairment or a specific biological target of oxidative stress, it is preferable to examine the global effect of a stress, which is revealed by a loss of cellular homeostasis.
In order to document the severity of impairment and to monitor progress in the course of rehabilitation, different outcome measures have been developed.
Although various optical methodologies are available for monitoring impairment of visibility (i.e., regional haze), methods that would allow for landscape-level evaluation of the chemical composition of particulate matter are lacking.
The objectives of this study were: First, to study the influence of certain liner characteristics and overmilking on teat recovery by indirectly monitoring circulatory impairments of teat tissue via infrared thermography and ultrasound scanning.
Hypoglycemia Inability to do regular blood sugar monitoring Cognitive impairment Visual impairment Living alone Polypharmacy Effects of comorbidities.
