If a significant proportion of people have scores at the bottom (floor) or top (ceiling) of the range of possible scores, then the potential responsiveness of tool will be impaired as it will not necessarily measure change.
But, over all, the core challenge in considering hurricanes in this century – as a wide range of hurricane-climate experts agreed years ago — is to limit exposure wherever possible, boost responsiveness and resilience when one inevitably hits and work to improve understanding of the response of such extreme, and rare, meteorological events to global warming.
A comparison with the other-language versions of the FAOS is not possible, as responsiveness was not analysed.
In the current study, we have shown that items found relevant for younger or more active individuals with osteoarthritis match the expectations of older OA patients and thus improve validity and make possible greater responsiveness also for older OA patients.
The fact that TIMP-1 status was not associated with PAM50 intrinsic subtype, suggests that TIMP-1 negative status and the basal-like subtype characterize two biologically distinct mechanisms of a possible G responsiveness.
Measurement of specific memory B cells and functional antibodies (opsonophagocytic activity, OPA) could further elucidate a possible hypo-responsiveness, but these studies are not available in our laboratory, nor are commonly used methods for assessing vaccination response in most clinical settings.
By measuring BV response to hypoxic hypoxia in a model of rat brain glioma, our goal was to assess overall vessel reactivity to hypoxia in those tumours and to determine possible differences in responsiveness between intratumoral, peritumoral and nontumoral areas.
It is possible that pyridoxine responsiveness in PNPO deficiency is affected by prematurity and age at the time of the therapeutic trial.
Beyond direct effects of tobacco smoke, it is possible that inflammatory responsiveness to subsequent microbial stimuli could be suppressed after prior smoke exposure.
It is possible that pyridoxine responsiveness in PNPO deficiency is affected by prematurity and age and riboflavin status at the time of the therapeutic trial.
