If other large earthquakes compressed the magma reservoir and unclamped the dike beneath Mt. Fuji, the volcano system might respond acutely, as discussed previously (Nostro et al. 1998).
These diseases, as with the ischemic conditions associated with heart disease and stroke 52, may stem from a reduction in mitochondrial quality control pathways, which, as discussed above, are acutely dependent upon ongoing plasticity within the network.
Already for acutely decompensated HF, the role of extracorporeal ultrafiltration is discussed controversially: while some found it to be effective in reducing volume overload and 90-day HF hospitalization [ 20], others could not reproduce the benefits while reporting a higher incidence of adverse events [ 21].
United's directors have fleetingly discussed Mourinho's position at Chelsea but are also acutely aware that they would almost certainly be wasting their time trying to extract him from Chelsea and their attentions are on Ancelotti's position at Real Madrid and Van Gaal's availability after leading Holland at the World Cup.
Families of children with poor growth were acutely aware of growth as a problem; they monitored growth and discussed it with others.
As discussed above, in canine hearts, myocardial efficiency was similarly depressed acutely and after 4 months of RV pacing [ 30].
The possible existence of a so-called "metabolic preconditioning" has recently been discussed in a review by Balakumar [[ 28]] and is suggested to occur in the acutely diabetic myocardium, while the chronically diabetic myocardium is more susceptible to ischaemic injury.
Recently published data detailing the deleterious effect of hypoglycemia are discussed, as is the emerging body of literature describing the important impact of glycemic variability on the risk of mortality in heterogeneous populations of acutely ill and severely ill patients.
11 24 Non-ED-based services will avoid many of the negative consequences of ED discussed above but may have potential disadvantages: nursing staff in RACF have high existing patient to staff ratios, some staff may not have the skills or resources to help manage acutely ill people, and alternative models may not offer the 24 h access that is necessary in some situations.
Study 1 was undertaken in patients admitted acutely to a specialist respiratory hospital who were a younger population with a range of chronic lung diseases and fewer co-morbidities than the AECOPD group in study 2. Thus in study 2 only 30% of those admitted with an acute exacerbation of COPD were suitable to approach to discuss participation.
