12 13 It has been postulated that the reduction in inflammation afforded by both MTX and anti-TNF therapies can lead to the reduction in cardiovascular events as shown in other studies.
Reducing nasopharyngeal carriage (and subsequently preventing AOM) of vaccine serotypes may be an added value in a context where it has been postulated that the reduction in drug-resistant S. pneumoniae will require a combination of conjugate vaccine and reductions in antibiotic use [ 28].
Whilst it has been postulated that this reduction in miRNA expression is a feature of a loss of differentiation, the mechanisms underlying this global reduction in miRNA expression in many cancers are unknown, though some evidence exists for post-transcriptional control [ 25, 26].
Recently, however, it has been postulated that the reduction in albumin concentration is secondary to the presence of a systemic inflammatory response, as evidenced by elevated circulating concentrations of C-reactive protein (McMillan et al, 2001).
It has been postulated that forest fuel reduction treatments (which typically include some combination of tree removal or prescribed burning) may protect or stabilize forest carbon stocks in wildfire-prone forests, if they successfully reduce future wildfire severity [1 5].
It has been postulated that forest fuel reduction treatments (which typically include some combination of tree removal or prescribed burning) may protect or stabilize forest carbon stocks in wildfire-prone forests, if they successfully reduce future wildfire severity [ 1- 5].
It has been postulated that beta cell exhaustion, reduction in beta cell mass and desensitization of beta cells result in beta cell dysfunction [ 3].
Although the mechanism through which smoking may reduce risk is unknown, it has been postulated that it might occur through a reduction in the gastrointestinal absorption or distribution of oestrogen, or through increased hepatic metabolism of oestrogen, oestrogen being one of the few known risk factors for this malignancy (Baron, 1984).
31 Supplementation without 25(OH D testing is linked to varying viewpoints; for instance, it has been postulated that blanket supplementation would result in substantial reduction in global healthcare costs, 32 34 whereas others have shown that 25(OH D deficiency, combined with lack of monitoring, predicted increased inpatient healthcare costs.
It has been postulated that with small airway diameters a small further reduction in calibre induced by a bronchoconstrictive agent produces a large increase in resistance as airway resistance is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the radius [ 35].
