8 We and others have described a dose dependent relation between maternal obesity and stillbirth risk, 9 10 11 but the mechanisms underlying this association are not understood.
In a population based sample of primary care patients who were subjected to thyroid function blood tests, we found a TSH level dependent relation between the degree of thyroid dysfunction and risk of new onset atrial fibrillation.
Thus, we asked whether S phase could be faithfully completed under diminished but constant histone supply and whether there is a direct dose dependent relation between histone synthesis and the length of S phase.
We adopt a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) to represent the dependent relation between tasks and develop a Minimum-Energy Model to find the optimal tasks assignment.
This was indicative for a time-dependent relation between the level of PMN-E and the survival analyses.
This provided the first indications of a dose-dependent relation between the field intensity and its effect on brain physiology.
6 13 Moreover, it is unclear whether smoking really is an aetiological factor for IPF, as studies included low numbers of patients, and data on whether there is a dose-dependent relation between smoking and the risk of IPF are limited.
We found a dose-dependent relation between benzodiazepine dose and death from overdose and were also able to more rigorously deal with issues of confounding in our analysis because of the larger sample size.
Such a time-dependent relation between cell biological factors and (relapse-free) survival in primary breast cancer has recently been observed for PMN-E (Foekens et al, 2003), as well as for clinical and other biological factors like uPA (Yoshimoto et al, 1993; Schmitt et al, 1997b; Hilsenbeck et al, 1998).
In addition, researchers have found an exposure-dependent relation between cigarette smoking and tooth loss among young adults [ 9, 10].
Despite differences in studies of smoking and tooth loss in various populations, previous studies have pointed to an exposure-dependent relation between tobacco smoking history and tooth loss.
