This evil is identified with admirable precision: "Law[s] impairing the Obligation of Contracts". (Emphasis supplied). It is nothing less than an abuse of the English language to interpret, as does the Court, the term "impairing" as including laws which create new duties.
There is significant evidence that violence, exploitation and abuse can affect the child's physical and mental health in the short and longer term, impairing their ability to learn and socialize, and impacting their transition to adulthood with adverse consequences later in life.
In longer term, impaired mitochondrial translation could eventually affect the respiratory function because all 13 mitochondrion-encoded proteins are indispensable to the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, the aberrant cleavage pattern of zygotes seems to be a direct result of failure of the mitochondrial translation in short term.
The fasting glucose cutoff for diabetes was reduced from 140 to 126 mg/dl and the new term, impaired fasting glucose (IFG), was introduced for the values between 110 and 125 mg/dl (7).
IDH, in the short term, impairs patients' quality of life by causing nuance symptoms and creates barriers to achieving adequate dialysis dose and ultrafiltration, while in the long term it leads to cardiovascular complications (ischemic heart events, arrhythmia), more hospitalization, and higher mortality [ 4, 5].
In addition, the committee introduced the term "impaired fasting glucose" (IFG) to differentiate the metabolic state between a normal state (FPG <110 mg/dl or <6.1 mmol/l) and diabetes (≥126 mg/dl or ≥7.0 mmol/l) when the FPG test was used.
began using in 2001 to replace the more obscure terms "impaired glucose tolerance" and "impaired fasting glucose". If the new name sounds more alarming, that was intentional, in the hope that patients with slightly elevated blood sugar, a risk factor for diabetes, would take all possible steps to prevent the disease.
The transition from normal glucose tolerance (NGT) to overt type 2 diabetes is characterized by an intermediate state of prediabetes, termed impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (1).
We had hypothesised that CC measurements would help to predict short-term impaired neurodevelopment based on several studies 4 6 9–10 that indicate that abnormalities in CC size are related to adverse short-term ND outcome.
In humans, high anxiety and psychological stress can lead to long-term impaired fertility, ranging from reduced libido, delayed pregnancy success to the extreme of complete reproductive axis suppression as in the case of hypothalamic amenorrhea (Ferin, 1999).
In neuroanatomical terms, impaired voice recognition is associated with grey matter loss in the right anterior temporal lobe, suggesting that this region is critical for voice recognition as well as other modalities of person knowledge.
