Imaging the lungs poses unique challenges attributable to intrinsic respiratory motion and air content, which particularly affects MRI as there is low proton density and fast signal decay.
However, in implementing at a second hospital site, new challenges emerged, attributable at least in part, to the legacy of racial tensions, as well as possible concerns about sharing data from the hospital with the provincial level, where OHASIS was hosted.
Nauck et al 37 found differences in β-cell secretory responses between oral and intravenous glucose challenges that were attributable to factors other than glycemia (the incretin effect).
In a media release, Edmunds said the declines for the Japanese brands were attributable to supply challenges after the March earthquake and tsunami in northeast Japan.
The challenge in analyzing rare variants is attributable both to their rarity, and to the fact that a large proportion of these rare variants represent background population variation with no functional impact.
Cytokine concentrations in NAL increased after both PVC and control exposures, but we did not detect any significant differences in cytokine levels attributable to the active challenge.
Induction of robust intraneuronal αS pathology by exogenous Δ71-82 Δ71-82llenge does not appear to be attributable to the neonatal injection paradigm as we have observed similar findings in adult mice (Sacino et al., in preparation).
20, 38 However, as recently discussed by Nichol, 56 the accurate excess deaths/winter-time deaths ratio attributable to influenza is challenging to estimate, due to the lack of available measures at the individual level.
We challenge this notion, having observed considerable morbidity attributable to low grade organ dysfunction; the purpose of this study was to quantify postoperative morbidity.
Although we are aware of the high total hospital costs associated with sepsis treatment, even post discharge, the heterogeneity of the health care system (private or public hospitals) makes any estimate of costs directly attributable to sepsis a real challenge.
