To determine the validity of the clinical tests, the relationships between the clinical tests and the H-reflex indices will be assessed by calculating Spearman's ρ test (ie, MMAS and the ordinal component of the MTS) or Pearson correlation test (ie, ratio components of the MTS).
The study showed that aortic PWV, but not measures of central aortic pressures or of backward pulse wave reflex (augmentation index), was a strong cardiovascular risk predictor.
This study was designed to examine in rats the influence of prenatal or neonatal diazepam treatment on development of neonatal reflexes, as index of brain maturation, and susceptibility to pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsions in adulthood.
In a study of 1,663 Vietnam-era veterans, the total number of tooth surfaces with amalgam fillings was unrelated to clinical neurological signs (e.g., tremor, coordination, station, gait, strength, sensation, muscle stretch reflexes, or indices of peripheral neuropathy), although it was associated with vibrotacile sensation in non-diabetic participants (Kingman et al. 2005).
Finally, we assessed affective modulation of the startle reflex, a sensitive index of emotional reactivity (22 26).
(b) Cell index which reflexes cell viabilities of TNBC cell lines 4175, SCP28 and SCP6 incubated with RCA-I of 0, 1.0, 2.5.05.0 μg/ml, were detected by RTCA system.
The radiant heat-evoked tail flick (TF) reflex was used as an index of acute nociceptive response in lightly anesthetized rats.
Now, with an $8 million commitment from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, with participation from Index Ventures, Credo Ventures, Reflex Capital and Rockaway Capital, alongside a host of angel investors, the company is looking to expand its sales and marketing and product development efforts to bring the benefits of its toolkit to more companies.
Only six (28.5%) trials specified primary outcomes a priori that included: Neck Pain and Disability Index, Nociceptive Flexion Reflex, Neck Disability Index, Pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Pain VAS and Work Activities VAS, and Pain VAS and Disability VAS.
Capsaicin cough threshold (C5), a concentration of capsaicin solution eliciting 5 or more coughs, was measured as an index of cough reflex sensitivity [ 7, 10- 12].
