Consumption of over-the-counter probiotics for promotion of health and well-being has increased worldwide in recent years. However, although probiotic use has been greatly popularized among the general public, there are conflicting clinical results for m
According to previous research, the abundance of visceral fat rather than overall obesity is a crucial factor in the link between obesity and CKD [9, 10]. Body mass index (BMI) is frequently utilized in medical practice to measure obesity, but it is unable to reflect regional fat ...
three types of presacral vertebrae: cervical, thoracic and lumbar) and/or the number of elements of each type (for example, 7 cervicals, 12 thoracics and 5 lumbars). Furthermore, these numbers can be synthesized as summative indices of the relative abundance and distribution...
The relative abundance of Hc-pbs-5 was assessed in eight developmental stages (eggs, L1s, L2s, L3s, male L4s, female L4s, adult males and adult females) of H. contortus (Haecon-5 strain) as described previously [49]. First, the total RNA was extracted from the eight developmental st...
Furthermore, the abundance of pro-inflammatory mediators in the plasma of patients from multiple phase 2 clinical studies, is significantly lower in CAD patients treated with apabetalone [14,15,18,58]. Plasma ALP, sourced primarily from the liver, is a robust and independent predictor of all-...
Thought to be found in abundance in nature, though "true" (infinite) fractals are not possible because nature uses physical matter, which has particular structures at the microscopic and smaller scales (molecules, atoms, elementary particles, etc). Fractal features can be observed in nature in ...
Therefore, a daily change in relative abundance could be a result of systematic bias and should be evaluated as such (Table 1). Table 1 Microbiome methods and limitations Full size table Although the dichotomy of stable (e.g., healthy adult) versus dynamic (e.g., developing infant) ...
where g(θ) could be any ofMathML,MathML orMathML, and the sign “ + ” or “−” must be chosen for the case of a maximum or minimum, respectively; g′(θ) and g′′(θ) are the first and second order derivatives, respectively, whose formulae can be derived from Equations (...
Abundance and deficiency are regarded as two sides of desire—the original force and the essence of existence, respectively. 3.2. Desire as the Very Dynamic of Human Life In the previous section, we have covered the mainstream views concerning desire in the history of Western philosophy, ...
Indeed, in this context, there is an abundance of evidence that ILC outputs may have a pivotal role in the process of the identification of custom. Specifically, ICTs very rarely use explicitly the label of ‘teachings’ with respect to ILC outputs. In numerical terms, only one out of a ...
