Second, information including economic status and some other variables was self-reported, which may lead to biased recollection of certain information, to occur measurement errors and classification errors. Third, for the data constraints in the sixth Health Service Survey of Shandong Province ...
RT3DE ultrasound allows evaluation of heart spatial structure and the measurement of any cardiac chamber in real time. By using sophisticated software, the technique provides curves relating volume and time, which can be used to evaluate LV dyssynchrony [45]. RT3DE presents higher accuracy and rep...
aFrom Fourth report database subjects have been included only if their BMI percentile was less than the 85th percentile. bMeasurements indicated for every age group. the studies used the auscultatory manual method for BP measurement in older children, whereas the oscillometric method was employed ...
In the present study, we analysed data over four consecutive waves from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), a large longitudinal survey covering 28 European countries43, which allowed us to follow the trajectory and development of osteoarthritis over time (i.e. before...

We argue that methodological issues limit the current clinical applicability of muscle SWE. Keywords: SWE; elastography; elasticity; optimized; rigid SWE-protocol 1. Introduction Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a specialized modality in ultrasound imaging that allows the measurement of elasticity, ...
Maximum handgrip strength (kg) was measured according to the Southampton protocol for adult grip strength measurement with a Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer (Sammons Preston Rolyan, Bolingbrook, IL, USA) [46]. The best of the six attempts (three left and three right) was used for analyses. ...
