Neutrophil mobility in 60 patients with vitamin D-deficient rickets is studied, and the patients are followed after therapy by 600,000 units vitamin D. 28 of 60 patients (46%), had low chemotaxis for neutrophils before vitamin D injection (migration), and 36 of 60 (60%) had low random mobility. The results showed a significant improvement after vitamin D therapy furthermore, the level of c...

We studied the immune system, especially the chemotactic activity of neutrophils, in ten patients with vitamin D-deficient rickets and compared the results with ten healthy controls of matched age. Among all immune system factors, the chemotactic studies persistantly showed remarkable deficiency in leukocyte mobility, both random motion and migration. When compared with controls, the findi...

case presentation the patient was a 65-year-old female with sps diagnosed 1 year before. assessments were performed, such as range of motion, muscle strength, pain, balance, and functional mobility. she had shoulder pain, with a score of 5/10 on the numerical pain rating scale for both shoulders. moreover, her muscle strength was impaired. although the patient could not maintain an upright posi...

in their study, brenna and spandonaro analyzed the mobility into italian regions. in particular, it analyzes the situation of 5 regions, with very different backgrounds. with this paper, we try to better define the meaning of health mobility and to find its underlying causes. furthermore, we propose a strategy that could help in controlling mobility flows that currently are the source of health...

Abstract The theory of international tax competition suggests that governments attempt to attract mobile capital bases by undercutting the foreign capital tax rate. An analysis of the role that state capacity plays in tax policymaking under international pressures is, however, missing. The central contribution of our study is to highlight the importance of the interaction between state capaci...

the article by brenna and spandonaro on interregional mobility for acute hospital care in italy raises important issues concerning social and territorial equity in a healthcare system. based on regions and private providers’ strategic behavior, the hypothesis adopted to explain patient cross-border mobility (cbm), demonstrated by statistical analysis, may be further explored using qualitative m...

background: as key determinants of many favorable health and quality of life outcomes, it is important to identify factors associated with mobility and social participation. although several investigations have been carried out on mobility, social participation and neighborhood environment, there is no clear integration of these results. this paper presents a scoping study protocol that aims to...
