Are muscle strength , postural balance , and cognition associated with braking time during driving in older adults?
Muscle strength, postural balance, and cognition are associated with braking time, and may affect the safety of and driving performance in older adults. These findings may help to inform specific targeted interventions that could preserve driving performance during aging.
This is the first study reporting on hK2 as a potential molecular marker for patients with thyroid cancer. We could demonstrate a correlation between diagnosis of thyroid cancer and the positive signal for hK2 in the RT-PCR assay. Future studies are necessary to prove the clinical value of hK2 as a molecular marker regarding recurrence and outcome.
