We analyzed the data from patients with severe hypoxemia (i.e. with a PaO2 FiO2 ratio < 100) and compared their characteristics (causes of hypoxemia, ventilatory and non-ventilatory management) and outcomes to the patients with mild or moderate hypoxemia.
Children were individually pre-tested in the classroom using written tasks designed to tap concepts of intelligence (definitions, characteristics, causes of intelligence, and the stability of intelligence: entity versus incremental concepts) and a variety of thinking skills.
Is it possible to establish a classification of injurious fall types based on fall location and activity up to the moment of the fall? 2.

Comparison of patients who presented ACTH deficiency with those who were not deficient found no differences in terms of patients characteristics, cause of TBI, level of severity and level of injury.
From each study, we recorded available data regarding years of follow-up, number of patients, baseline patient characteristics, cause of heterotopic bone formation (burn injury, elbow fracture, or head injury/coma), preoperative and postoperative range of elbow motion, postoperative management, additional procedures or medication, and postoperative complications.
The following donor variables are commonly identified in those studies: donor age, BMI, metabolic condition, pancreas characteristics, cause of death and cold ischemia time (CIT).

We collected data on patient demographics (age, gender, ethnicity), body habitus (body mass index) and clinical characteristics (cause of ESRD, ESRD vintage, vascular access and co-morbidities) at the commencement of training.
Baseline characteristics, cause of referral, colonoscopic and capsule-endoscopic findings, technical data and results of the patient questionnaire were documented on a datasheet using Excel (Microsoft, Redmont, Washinton, USA).
It is unclear whether the differences in our results compared to previous studies are due to differences in patient characteristics (cause of ALF), other aspects of management (N-acetylcysteine therapy, renal replacement therapy), severity of illness (vasopressor requirements) or differences in conduct of TPE such as dose, method (centrifugal versus filtration) or method of anticoagulation.
