In left opercular, orbital and triangular inferior gyri, maintenance of nameable odorants resulted in significantly more sustained activity than maintenance of unnameable odorants (opercular: t 8) = 3.5, p<.003; orbital: t 8) = 3.1, p<.006; triangular: t 8) = 3.3, p<.005).
With inferior pedicle techniques, the maintenance of the breast shape relies mainly on the skin envelope and postoperative stretching results in recurrent ptosis.
Therefore, one would actually expect an inferior outcome for NB90 maintenance patients without ASCT compared to the ch14.18 group including 61% ASCT patients which is not the case.
TBI survivors also had increased activations related to time-on-task effects during stable task-set maintenance in right inferior parietal and prefrontal cortices.
The results revealed that the efficacy of single-agent cetuximab maintenance was not inferior to continuous combination therapy (PFS: 8.9 vs. 9.8 months, P = 0.09; OS: 23.6 vs. 22.2 months, P = 0.54; response rate: 47% vs. 39%, P = 0.33) [ 19].
In 2001 Van Den Berghe et al. reported on a trial terminated after 1548 patients [ 2], as the fourth interim analysis revealed that conventional treatment (insulin infusion if the blood glucose level was > 215 mg/dL to maintain blood glucose levels between 180 and 200 mg/dL) was inferior to intensified insulin therapy (maintenance of blood glucose levels between 80 and 110 mg/dL).
The overall survival of patients randomised to maintenance therapy was significantly inferior to that of those randomised to no maintenance therapy (median survival NM 19.2 vs M 14.1 months, P = 0.05 log rank).
Short-segment fixation with I-VEP is inferior to KP with respect to the maintenance of local kyphotic deformity.
No biopsy was performed due to its technical difficulty (maintenance of the kidney's inferior pole in subcostal position during inspiration).
At 52 weeks, all aflibercept groups, independent of doses and regimen, were non-inferior to the control group with equal maintenance of vision in 95% of eyes.
