The purpose of this study was to describe the symptom severity and trajectory in concussed children who were followed during a one year period at a concussion clinic.
Duration of back pain at baseline increased with rising severity of trajectory, potentially indicating phases of increasing severity in the long-term course.
In addition, it appears that the spread of pain, further discomforts and depressive symptoms increases fairly consistently with increasing severity of pain trajectory, rather than occurring in discrete stages, as in the amplification model.
As he carves a trajectory from severity to serenity, Mr. Lang's work is becoming ever more nuanced.
Assessing whether the hurricanes (Harvey, Irma, Maria, and less in the news but still relevant, Jose, Katia, and Tropical Storm Lee) exhibit "normal" behavior may hinge on questions like: Is this the normal trajectory of severity or frequency for Atlantic-bred storms?
The heterogeneity of the population with respect to age, gender, underlying comorbidity, trajectory and severity of illness, time to presentation, infecting organism, and the type and number of affected organs adds further complexity to trialing within an already challenging patient cohort.
Early on in hurricane forecasts, there is significant uncertainty surrounding both the spatial trajectory and severity of the storm.
By relating the temporal profile of Ig concentrations to the trajectory and severity of sepsis, a high-risk sepsis cohort may be potentially identified for stratified IVIg intervention.
Specifically, they use a standard approach to measuring the "cost" of a genetic code in terms of the weighted frequency of errors of different severity, and measure the trajectory of codes using a hill-climbing optimization algorithm.
Voice changes may also serve as an easily assessable and objective proxy to determine disease severity and monitor early trajectories of disease progression.
This study presents a remote sensing framework to (1) characterize spectral trajectories associated with insect activity of varying duration and severity and (2) relate those trajectories to ground-based measurements of tree mortality and surface fuels in the Cascade Range, Oregon, USA.
