the phenomenological model of khossravi and connors (1992) has been adopted to calculate the electrophoretic mobility of drugs at different concentrations of solvents in a binary mixture. the accuracy and predictability of the model have been evaluated employing 14 experimental data sets by using average percentage mean deviation (apmd). the obtained apmd for correlative and predictive studies ...

INTRODUCTION Femoral neck fractures in elderly patients result in significant reduction in mobility. Deconditioning takes place quickly without early ambulation postsurgery. A recent Cochrane review found inconclusive evidence on the rehabilitation protocol required to effectively restore patients' prefracture mobility status. This study was conducted to determine the effects of different rehab...

abstract   objective: in this study, we evaluated pten mutations in cowden disease and juvenile polyposis syndrome. pten mutations were detected, cancer and other phenotypes associated with each of these mutations were characterized and loss of wild type pten allele in the associated tumors was demonstrated. methods: out of 9 patients included in this study, 8 had juvenile polyposis and 1 had c...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mobility assessed by the Modified Rivermead Mobility Index and variables associated with physical function in stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] One hundred stroke patients (35 males and 65 females; age 58.60 ± 13.91 years) participated in this study. Modified Rivermead Mobility Index, muscle strength (manual m...

BACKGROUND There is limited evidence regarding interactions between pulmonary (dys)function, posture, and mobility of the upper body quadrant in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OBJECTIVES This exploratory study aimed to investigate whether postural alignment and mobility of the upper quadrant are related to changes in pulmonary function and compare such variables b...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the variation in mobility during hospitalization in an intensive care unit and its association with hospital mortality. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in an intensive care unit. The inclusion criteria included patients admitted with an independence score of ≥ 4 for both bed-chair transfer and locomotion, with the score based on the Functional Independence M...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the applicability of ultrasound imaging of the diaphragm in interstitial lung disease (ILD). METHODS Using ultrasound, we compared ILD patients and healthy volunteers (controls) in terms of diaphragmatic mobility during quiet and deep breathing; diaphragm thickness at functional residual capacity (FRC) and at total lung capacity (TLC); and the thickening fraction (TF,...

PURPOSE To examine the extent of mobility limitations in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, or Fuchs' corneal dystrophy compared with that in a control group of older adults with good vision. METHODS Two hundred seventy-two patients (68 with AMD, 49 with Fuchs' dystrophy, 82 with glaucoma, and 73 controls) from the ophthalmology clinics of Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hos...

OBJECTIVES To explore the association between prestroke mobility dependency and dementia on functioning and mortality outcomes after stroke in patients>65 years of age. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study based on SveDem, the Swedish Dementia Registry and Riksstroke, the Swedish Stroke Registry. PARTICIPANTS A total of 1689 patients with dementia >65 years of age registered in SveDem and suffe...
