However, in the pre-monsoon season, three samples (sample numbers 1, 3 and 7) showed a lesser Na/Cl ratio than 1, suggests some other source of Na in the groundwater, i.e., silicate weathering.
Of these components, alcohol, nuts and soy, total fiber, and, to a lesser extent, ratio of white to red meat were associated with a decreased risk of mortality independent of other components.
In the GP-identified patients, a positive algorithm significantly increased the odds of a MINI classification (odds ratio 13.8; 95% CI 3.8-50.6) as did positive screening questions, although to a lesser extent (odds ratio 7.3; 95% CI 2.1 – 2.17).
While Cu and Zn being accumulated at higher ratios by the mushrooms, the other elements being accumulated at relatively lesser ratios.
For all transfections, intrabody plasmids were applied at equal (1∶1) or lesser ratios to httex1 and ataxin-3 plasmids, and cells were analyzed 48 hours post-transfection.
However, although the rate ratio and (to a lesser extent) the risk ratio are both commonly used for analyzing incidence studies, the odds ratio has been severely criticized as an effect measure (Greenland 1987; Miettinen and Cook 1981) and has little intrinsic meaning in incidence studies.
In recent years, the potential use of bispectral index (BIS) and to a lesser extent suppression ratio (SR) monitoring has been investigated in the post-CA setting [9 15].
Shorter questionnaires also improved response rates to a lesser degree (odds ratio 1.4, 95% confidence interval 1.19 to 1.54).
Model 2 also showed that consumption of nuts and soy, total fiber, and moderate alcohol, and, to a lesser extent, the ratio of white to red meat, remained associated with a decreased risk of all-cause mortality, after adjustment for other AHEI components (Table S5 under "Supplemental data" in the online issue).
