For applications where the improvements in survival are more modest, use of imaging frequently has additional demonstrable benefits including reductions in health care expenditure.
Though the adoption of BIM data has made planning buildings more efficient, that's "only a modest use of BIM's full potential," Reynolds says.
The same may be true for a modest use of steroids for athletes.
(Mr. Hancock's gift for family stories, best displayed in the modest melodrama "The Rookie," is of no use to him here).
The sample used for this study was of a modest size, so generalizability of the findings may be limited.
Although the total number of samples in this study is modest, the use of discordant monozygotic twins and sibling case-controls offers the ability to identify differences in miRNA against the same or closely related genotype, which is an advantage in investigations of epigenetic mechanisms contributing to autism.
13 Other benefits of metformin use are promotion of modest weight reduction in overweight and obese patients, improvement in lipid profile, and a potential reduction in cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
Though some progress has been made in the preparation of MICs, for modest use in industry and wider application in research, refining the experimental imprinting procedures with insights gained from statistical mechanics tools could make further developments.
Although the magnitude of the increase in risk is modest, the widespread use of calcium supplements means that even a small increase in incidence of cardiovascular disease could translate into a large burden of disease in the population.
The small effects of variations of the model reflect the low incidence of cancer in any one- or two-year period, and that the shift in stage at diagnosis as a result of mammography is relatively modest, even using the most optimistic data on stage distributions in the literature.
