That most of the functional categories were assigned to one of these temporal peak patterns indicates a fairly defined progression of functions across the day.
A progression of increasingly complex filter functions was evaluated.
The two major findings of this study were that G-CSF delayed a progression of diastolic dysfunction, in terms of function, and prevented interstitial and perivascular fibrosis, in terms of pathology.
It is obvious that organ failure is not an all-or-nothing phenomenon, but a progression of alterations from normal organ function to organ failure [ 16].
Renal dysfunction is a frequent co-morbidity in CHF that exerts an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system leading to a progression of the disease, and impaired renal function constitutes one of the strongest predictors of poor clinical outcomes in CHF. 1, 2, 33 Interestingly, virtually none of the currently applied CHF therapies efficiently prevent deterioration in renal function.
She wonders if there is a smooth progression of mental function as animals become more evolved, or if there is a mysterious discontinuity that separates human consciousness from whatever is experienced by other animals.
The use of statins and certain antihypertensive drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers was reported to be associated with a slower progression of renal function and reduced cardiovascular risk in patients with PAD [ 49, 50].
Because inflammation is a major component of progression of renal function in chronic renal failure, and HO-1 has evident anti-inflammatory activity, we postulated that this cytoprotection is mainly due to the ability of HO-1 to modulate the immune response.
The bottom row shows the progression of the functions ( {z}_k ) and ( {y}_k ).
The study by Hemmelgarn et al [ 4] had developed a clinical index for rapid progression of kidney function, which was defined as a decline in eGFR of 25% or greater.
A longitudinal study is required to examine the progression of cognitive function and provide evidence to the use of hearing devices.
