Because the amount of CO2in the blood affects its pH, abnormal PaCO2values are interpreted in relation to the pH. If the PaCO2value is elevated, and the pH is below normal,respiratory acidosisfrom either acute or chronic hyperventilation is suspected. Conversely, a PaCO2below normal and a pH ...
The 84 EpiScores were then studied in relation to four MRI markers of brain health (total brain volume, grey matter volume, normal appearing white matter volume, and white matter hyperintensity volume) and their changes over time in LBC1936. In basic models adjusted for age and sex, 21 Epi...
Some key practical questions for Bone Research | Vol 1 No 3 | August 2013 the future include: 1) What is the role of hypoxia and HIF in bone growth and repair? 2) To what extent do the osteoanabolic actions of agents such as PTH, Wnt pro- teins and nitric oxide donors depend on ...
Some locally relevant questions and response options were added to the STEPS questionnaire, in accordance with the STEPS protocols.14 Although similar in most other respects, the questionnaires differed in the items used to assess physical activity. The BTH questions addressed time spent on vigorous ...
Protein adsorption to biomaterials can be analyzed by a number of techniques. No single method reveal answers to all questions and many observations seem therefore inconclusive or contradictory, the experiments may seem simplified and the relevance questioned in a broader biological context. The body fl...
blood or blood components obtained from VNRD are not sold. The price of these “goods” is in direct relation to all of the services and activities that are directly or indirectly required, from the promotion of blood donation to the transfusion of a blood component, and surveillance – a ...
This leads to questions about whether the blood used for these patients is safe and whether a higher level of screening during a pandemic should be considered.109 It would be beneficial to observe SAH outcomes with different blood types. Furthermore, it would be interesting to assess how ...
early development, or whether they are primary or secondary to onset. While the current study is not able to address developmental questions related to onset and trajectory, future genomic studies using prospective birth cohorts containing infants at risk of ASC will be highly valuable in this ...
Apart from these questions of technique, it is desirable to discover how fine an analysis is likely to prove profitable. Should it be found, for example, that there is little variation in gene frequencies within large urban areas, then relatively modest samples would suffice. If, on the other...
are the results of extrapolations yielding the estimate in the range of 100–150 years. The questions of whether the critical point corresponds to a specific age or even achievable along a realistic trajectory, are not too practical: due to the presence of strong stochastic forces, most individu...
