Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), and progesterone (P) were measured at baseline, during elagolix administration, and one day following the last dose. Transvaginal ultrasounds were performed to monitor follicle sizes. Main Outcome Measure(s) Serum ...
A limitation of most MIA studies is that they measure only single responsible mediators and/or capture the response in single organs at a single timepoint. Investigation of fetal effects of maternal LPS lung administration requires profiling of several tissues and timepoints18. First, profiling the ...
The Gallup World Polls measure the respondents’ gender, secondary education, and college education as dichotomous variables. Age is measured in years. Income adequacy is assessed by the question: “Which phrase comes closest to your own feelings about your household’s income these days? (1) Liv...
1a). To measure wrist movement, we strapped inertial sensors to the dorsal side of the hand and forearm (Fig. 1b). We elicited hand tremor by asking patients to perform a standard postural task. The proximal arm rested on a purposely-built support (note that the support did not constrain...

To measure the inclination angle, the SI axis of the metaglene was used instead of the AP axis (Fig. 3). Fig. 3 Illustration of the radiological measurements of metaglene inclination (A) and ante-retroversion (B) angles, respectively. Anatomical landmarks of the scapula are defined in ...
We included the following socio-demographic register-based variables: Ethnicity, degree of urbanisation, completed educational level, parents’ educational level, and primary care contacts within the previous year (a measure of use of healthcare services). In order to obtain current information on the...
The responses were given in yes/no format (0 = no; 1 = yes), and the sum of the items was used to measure the severity of abusive drinking behaviors. Long-term smoking was measured using pack years—that is, by multiplying the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day by the...
(outcome type, units, data location, measure of variability, presence of bulk density) and extracted. Tillage categories for further synthesis were assessed as belonging to one of the following three categories: NT, IT and HT. As discussed above, IT corresponds to methods that do not invert ...
After reaching the end of designated time points, echocardiography was performed to measure heart structure and function. Gravimetric analysis was used to measure the ventricular weight to body weight ratio. We also measured heart rate by telemetry using implanted ambulatory ECG monitors. Results Both ...
