Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a reliable surrogate marker of generalized atherosclerosis because it correlates to coronary artery disease and predicts future cardiovascular events (5, 6).
Nevertheless, in spontaneously breathing patients, cIVC is widely used because it correlates to CVP even if CVP is, however, poorly predictive of fluid responsiveness [ 21, 22].
Yes, it's a vapid comparison and the fate of nations can't be directly tied to season tickets, but ask yourself as an American if you'd root for an Iraqi baseball team because its government told you it correlates to democracy.
We use heating oil because it correlates best to Delta jet fuel.
The slow growth is not necessarily a disadvantage because it correlates with increased resistance to antimicrobial agents (35 ), including chlorine (Falkinham JO, unpub data).
The PCB congener 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl (CB-153) is a useful biomarker of dietary exposure to POPs because it correlates very well with both total PCB concentration (Gladen et al. 1999; Glynn et al. 2000; Grimvall et al. 1997), the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzot (TEQ), and the total POP derived TEQ (Brouwer et al. 1995; Gladen et al. 1999).
The size of the lesion is also a factor that has been reported to predict recurrence because it correlates with the completeness of the excision/ablation [ 28].
With regard to inflammation, CB2 seems to act as a dual molecule because it correlates positively with the anti-inflammatory molecule adiponectin and, paradoxically, also with inflammatory genes.
Our evidence argues that quivering is particularly important because it correlates strongly with the female ceasing movement, considered to be a sign of receptivity [ 7].
The gender composition of the family appears to be a valid instrument because it correlates with the participation in program.
In clinical practice, physicians can then use cIVC to predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients because it correlates with blood volume.
