The status of serum selenium has diverse effects on thyroid volume and goiter in a mild iodine-deficient or (borderline) iodine-sufficient area.
Further studies should be carried out to explore the impact of selenium concentration on thyroid volume and thyroid goiter in (borderline) iodine-sufficient areas.
They considered iodine deficiency the major cause of thyroid goiter maybe because the serum selenium concentration has little influence on glutathione peroxidase and deiodinase in the thyroid gland in borderline selenium-sufficient areas.
Results of a prospective study reported by Kung et al. (2000) showed that in a borderline iodine-sufficient area (median urinary iodine level = 9.8 μg/dL), pregnancy resulted in higher rates of maternal goitrogenesis as well as neonatal hypothyroxinemia and hyperthyrotrophinemia.
Now, the Borderline-Personhood Argument only requires that borderline personhood be sufficient, not necessary, for full or near-full moral status, but both the Unequal Consideration Model and the Unequal Interests Model quite generally relate moral status to personhood-relevant properties.
The sample size was borderline for providing sufficient statistical power, thus hindering further stratified analysis.
To generate various levels of ID, female Long-Evans rats were exposed to diets containing sufficient, borderline, or deficient iron (Fe) concentrations throughout gestation and offspring lifetime.
For the 12 studies combined, we simultaneously modeled the risk of each of five histologic types of ovarian carcinoma (high-grade serous, low-grade serous, mucinous, endometrioid and clear cell) and two of the four main types of borderline tumors with sufficient numbers for analysis (serous and mucinous) using polytomous logistic regression [ 68].
With such offenses, legal institutions struggle in borderline cases to locate sufficient fault to satisfy the demands of justification for punishment.
The NHS thyroid test is not sufficient, especially for borderline cases.
