The upper Midwest has a history of advanced manufacturing, and machined parts and many of the basic materials of photovoltaic panels — polycrystalline in central Michigan, glass in the Toledo region, plastic films in Ohio — were already being made in the region.
We found that at least two parameter sets specific to each sex with model adjustments was required to capture the longitudinal colonoscopy data and inclusion of multiple possible parameter set combinations, which account for random variations within the population, was necessary to accurately predict the second-time colonoscopy findings for patients with a history of advanced adenomas.
A large proportion of the HIV-infected patients included in this study became eligible for Medicare benefits because of disability, and therefore our sample may represent a subgroup of HIV-infected NSCLC patients with a history of more advanced HIV.
Previous studies revealed that a history of ulcer, advanced age (>70 years), concomitant use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), use of dual antiplatelet therapy, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, and history of alcohol abuse were risk factors for gastroduodenal ulcer in low-dose aspirin users [ 6, 7].
Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 5 girls because of the absence of a family history of advanced puberty (mainly a mother who underwent menarche before the age of 11 yr), rapid pubertal development and/or symptoms such as headache.
Conversely, higher A1C targets are recommended for patients with longstanding diabetes, advanced age, limited life expectancy, a history of macrovascular or advanced microvascular complications, extensive comorbidities, or a high risk for severe hypoglycemia (1– 5).
The mean duration of diabetes was 12 years and about one-third had a history of macrovascular or advanced microvascular complications.
High-risk patients are identified as individuals who have one or more of the following clinical characteristics: a history of peptic ulcer disease; advanced age (over 65 years); concomitant use of corticosteroids or anticoagulants; multiple comorbid conditions; or use of high doses or multiple NSAIDs [ 1, 5, 6, 25, 26].
Somewhat higher intervals are recommended for children and adolescents and may be appropriate for patients with limited life expectancy, extensive comorbid illnesses, a history of severe hypoglycemia, or advanced complications (note that these values are applicable only if the NGSP has certified the assay method as traceable to the DCCT reference).
In an ideal world, guidelines regarding optimal timing of AV access surgery and physicians' recommendation to patients in this arena should be grounded in a thorough understanding of the natural history of advanced CKD.
Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) is a well described event in the natural history of advanced malignancy.
