However, relocating the electrode within the same experiment to a second position at the border of LII III mEC without increasing the stimulation intensity, EPSCKA was evoked in the same cell (14.31%±4.7% of baseline; data not shown).
No association was found between the existence of cryptococcosis-related lesions and other markers of initial severity, i.e. low CSF white-cell count, elevated CSF protein concentration or hyponatremia at baseline (data not shown).
The addition of 40 mM EDTA to the Italian samples prevented degradation for 28 days when the samples were stored at room temperature, 4°C and −80°C; with an average loss of only 1.6% compared to baseline (data not shown).
The activities in response to novel food were not different from baseline (data not shown).
No difference was found for sex, weight and alcohol consumption at baseline (data not shown).
No such interaction was found with history of renal disease at baseline (data not shown).
Additionally, biomarker levels were generally similar between responders and nonresponders at baseline (data not shown).
The most significant predictors were older age, and smoking at baseline (data not shown).
There were no relations between NSAIDs and cognitive test scores at baseline (data not shown).
All children displayed normal values for the oral glucose tolerance test at baseline (data not shown).
Comparisons of the excluded patients versus those completing the study did not show significant differences at baseline (data not shown).
