Does intermittent hydrostatic compression promote nitric oxide production and osteodifferentiation of fetal dural cells?
These experiments indicate that dural cell biology is significantly altered following exposure to IHC. Specifically, IHC promotes production of NO and osteodifferentiation in fetal dural cell cultures, with increases in the expression of osteoinductive genes and decreases in inhibitors of osteogenesis.
This is the first study amongst British health and social care workers that has demonstrated that ITS and ITL are not measuring the same construct. While there is overlap, care should be taken when using these constructs interchangeably, particularly when measuring these concepts in organizations and when developing retention programs, policies, or activities to modify ITS and ITL.
