The aim of this study is to investigate the association between lower limb JPS different aspects pattern including asymmetry variability spatiotemporal coordination in individuals with bilateral KOA. In cross-sectional study, 43 KOA (mild moderate) were measured. Participants’ patterns during treadmill walking self-selected comfortable speed assessed. correlations...
Medical costs (MCs) represent a significant burden on household finances and often lead to economic challenges. This study analyzed the data of 8,993 Iranian households from 2021 collected by Statistical Center. Using marginalized two-part model (MTP) with lognormal gamma distributions, relationship between MCs factors such as age, gender, education, characteristics was examined. A two-level structure applied account for heterogeneity across provinces, analyzes performed using R software....
Vitamin D and zinc are important components of nutritional immunity. This study compared the serum concentrations 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) in COVID-19 outpatients with those potentially non-infected participants. The association clinical symptoms vitamin status was also examined. A checklist laboratory examination were applied to collect data a cross-sectional conducted on 53 infected Serum concentration 25(OH)D not significantly lower patients moderate illness (19 ± 12 ng/mL) than...
