Does assessment of functional improvement without compensation reduce variability of outcome measures after human spinal cord injury?
Assessment with the NRS provides a classification for functional motor recovery without compensation, which reduces variability in performance and improvements for individuals with injuries classified as AIS grades C and D.
N-terminal fragments of pro-atrial natriuretic peptide and pro-brain natriuretic peptide are new additional predictors of any stroke and atrial fibrillation. Natriuretic peptides provide prognostic information for stroke and atrial fibrillation and may help in identifying subjects at risk for stroke and atrial fibrillation.
