Studies on the impact of rheumatic diseases should include mortality data as a complement to those regarding functional status, work capacity and overall quality of life [ 5].
Aside from technical issues regarding isolation protocols, the functional capacity of autologous stem cells may not be optimal and may differ among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Thus, prospective studies are needed to investigate the causes and pathogenetic mechanisms of anemia, as are prospective studies regarding its impact on functional capacity, frailty, and mortality in the elderly.
In relation to nonpharmacological interventions, the effects of exercise training in chronic heart failure are well established, particularly with regard to improved functional capacity.
Dr. Hartenbaum disagreed, saying she could find no evidence that the board even used a highly regarded test, called a functional capacity evaluation.
It could be suggested that programs targeting more than one physical component (strength, endurance, balance, flexibility) promote better performance with regard to the global functional capacity of older adults.
Thus, cardiac rehabilitation programs must be designed in a way to include recommendations regarding clinical management of sexual dysfunction, improving functional capacity, quality of life, morbidity and mortality of the patients with cardiovascular disease across Europe.
In conclusion, this series demonstrates that the anterior minimally invasive bridge-plate technique for treatment of humeral shaft nonunion presents satisfactory results with regards to bone healing and functional capacity.
In the present study, we evaluated the differentiation potential of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) toward Schwann cells, together with their functional capacity with regard to myelination and support of neurite outgrowth in vitro.
