Physical examination in functional unresponsiveness

Practical Neurology, 2022
Functional unresponsiveness can present a diagnostic challenge, but there are many positive physical examination findings that may help to confirm this diagnosis. Some of these are associated with pain or potential tissue damage for the patient, and potentially ethical and legal risk for the practitioner, but several lesser-known physical examination ...

The Physical Functioning Inventory

Journal of Aging and Health, 2001
The Physical Functioning Inventory, an instrument designed to assess changes in how and how often activities are performed in persons reporting difficulty with a task as well as in those who do not, is described. The measure is designed for adults.

Physical exercise and the functions of microRNAs

Life Sciences, 2022
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) control RNA translation and are a class of small, tissue-specific, non-protein-coding RNAs that maintain cellular homeostasis through negative gene regulation. Maintenance of the physiological environment depends on the proper control of miRNA expression, as these molecules influence almost all genetic pathways, from the cell cycle ...

Physical functioning of low back pain patients: perceived physical functioning and functional capacity, but not physical activity is affected

Disability and Rehabilitation, 2015
Physical functioning is a multidimensional construct covering perceived functioning, functional capacity and actual physical activity. Currently, the assessment of physical functioning in low back pain (LBP) patients has been limited to only one or two of these aspects.

Physical activity, physical fitness and respiratory function — Exercise and respiratory function

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1999
The aim of the study was to establish patterns of respiratory function in Northern Ireland and to examine the relationship between physical activity, physical fitness and respiratory function. We identified 1600 adults over 16 yr using 2 stage probability sampling.

Silicon physical random functions

Proceedings of the 9th ACM conference on Computer and communications security, 2002
We introduce the notion of a Physical Random Function (PUF). We argue that a complex integrated circuit can be viewed as a silicon PUF and describe a technique to identify and authenticate individual integrated circuits (ICs).We describe several possible circuit realizations of different PUFs.

On the physical security of physically unclonable functions

2017
Reconfigurable hardware is the primary component of electronic embedded devices employed in several applications ranging from wireless communication to cloud computing. Due to their significant role these modern platforms are targets of intellectual property (IP) piracy and tampering. Cloning of a design or manipulation of its content is carried out by

On the entropy of Physically Unclonable Functions

2016 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), 2016
A physically unclonable function (PUF) is a hardware device that can generate intrinsic responses from challenges. The responses serve as unique identifiers and it is required that they be as little predictable as possible. A loop-PUF is an architecture where n single-bit delay elements are chained. Each PUF generates one bit response per challenge. We

Muscular strength and physical function

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2000
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential association of muscular strength and endurance at baseline with the prevalence of functional limitations at follow-up.Study participants were 3,069 men and 589 women (30-82 yr) who received a clinical examination including a strength evaluation at the Cooper Clinic between 1980 and 1989 and ...

Assessing Physical Function in the Elderly

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1987
This article emphasizes the complexity underlying the assessment of physical function. The concept of physical function is multidimensional; individuals or groups can be assessed; the assessments can be either preintervention measures or outcome measures. Six issues of measurement are discussed: verbal report versus behavior; self-reported versus proxy-
