In the 1980s and '90s the Republicans and the DVU won seats in several state legislatures, with the Republicans' support particularly concentrated in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, and Berlin.
In the late 20th century the rightist Republican Party and the DVU were the most visible of Germany's fringe parties.
The scoring range for each thoracic and lumbar DVU is 0 to 24, where the central slices provide a maximum score of 16 (four large corner lesions each scoring 2 = 8, and two large noncorner lesions each scoring 4 = 8) and the lateral slices provide a maximum score of 8 (four right + four left corner lesions each scoring 1).
Data were entered online into a web-based scoring system illustrated as a schematic with upper and lower vertebral endplates for each DVU and diagrammatic representations of the different types of fat lesions.
Fringe political parties, such as The Republicans (Die Republikaner), the German People's Union (Deutsche Volksunion; DVU), and the Pirate Party of Germany (Piratenpartei Deutschland) have scored some success at the local and state levels but have not won representation at the national level.
By the mid-1980s, Irving associated himself with the IHR, began giving lectures to groups such as the far-right German Deutsche Volksunion (DVU), and publicly denied that the Nazis systematically exterminated Jews in gas chambers during World War II.
One study reported that the association between inflammation at the level of a DVU and new bone remained statistically significant after adjustment for such within-patient correlation as well as after further adjustment for other confounders [ 22].
The same analysis to focus on six species of the class Deltaproteobacteria with D. desulfuricans showed that D. desulfuricans is especially related to three species, G. sulfurreducens (gsu), P. carbinolicus (pca), and D. vulgaris (dvu), possessing sulphur- or sulphate-reducing properties (Fig. 2B).
In the late 90s he repeatedly impersonated fictitious candidates from real parties like the German Social Democrats, the liberal FDP and the far-right DVU, often campaigning with deliberate offensive slogans that highlighted the respective parties' prejudices.
Inflammation was recorded in MRI scans from 182 patients in a trial of infliximab according to its presence/absence at each cervical and lumbar discovertebral unit (DVU), which represents the region between two imaginary lines drawn through the middle of two adjacent vertebrae and includes the four vertebral corners, the intervertebral disc, the adjacent vertebral endplates and bone marrow [ 28].
