Using Multiple Biological Markers to Measure Sickle-Cell Disease Severity and Cognitive Risk
… intervention. Biological measures of disease severity may serve as clinical markers of neurological complications; however the relationship between such markers and cognitive deficits in this population remains unclear. Mixed evidence for the relationship may have resulted due to the use of …

The role of muscle strength and voluntary activation on symptomatic fatigue in multiple sclerosis
… was assessed using the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), Fatigue Severity Scale, and Visual Analogue Fatigue Scale. Functional capacity was assessed with a 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT). Muscle strength and VA were determined using twitch interpolation applied to the right dorsiflexor muscles …

Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Brain Following Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
… mild TBIs (mTBIs) making up 75-90% of the TBI severity scale. It’s been suggested that repetitive mild TBIs (rmTBIs) may enhance effects of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). With dementia linking TBI and AD together, we investigated the memory hub of the brain - the hippocampus. Astrocytes and …

Gender differences in symptom change for court-placed youth in residential treatment : a latent growth curve analysis
… was measured by the Symptom Functioning and Severity Scale (SFSS; Bickman et al., 2010), a progress monitoring tool used to capture symptom severity every four weeks. Latent Growth Curve Modeling (LGCM) was implemented to obtain growth trajectories of symptom change over time. The hypothesis …

Towards the management of Ustilago kamerunensis H Sydow and Sydow, a smut pathogen of napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) in Kenya
… sporidia and hyphae were formed. A disease severity scale was developed, related to biomass reduction in fresh weight of Napier grass stools, that can be used to assess losses in field situations. Using a spore dipping technique, resistance testing of locally available cultivars identified …

The Effect of Topical Tranexamic Acid Application on Melasma Treatment
… erythema were objectively assessed using melasma severity scale (MSS), modified melasma area and severity index (mMASI), and chromameter. The subject satisfaction questionnaire was also documented. Skin biopsies were obtained from 10 subjects on baseline and 12 weeks after treatment. Histological …

On supporting K-anonymisation and L-diversity of crime databases with genetic algorithms in a resource constrained environment
… third party. In this thesis we introduce a crime severity scale to facilitate the automation of data anonymisation within the MCRF. We consider a modified loss metric to capture information loss incurred during the anonymisation process. This modified loss metric also gives third party users the …

The effectiveness of an internet-based low FODMAP diet education program to improve symptoms of patients with IBS
… baseline and final assessments. IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS), Quality of Life (IBS-QOL) indices, and a self-efficacy (SE) survey were used to assess outcomes. Due to the high dropout rate, the study was underpowered to detect changes in the IBS-SSS, IBS-QOL, and SE assessments. While …

Comparing Wear of the Osteoarthritic Temporomandibular Joint and Distal Interphalangeal Joint: A Cadaveric Study
… This study aimed to determine whether OA severity and spatial wear patterns are concordant across joints with distinct biomechanics and ossification processes by comparing the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ). While most OA studies rely on imaging, …
