Consistent with previous studies, healthy controls (n = 13) displayed a considerably lower CD4+/CD8+ ratio than that observed in SSc patients (P<0.0001, figure 1a).
In contrast, the repetitive application of TIP-A led to a considerably lower W/D ratio than the single dose and an only small but further reduction of the EVLWI, whereas the ∆ EVLWI and derived AFC did not differ significantly between SD- and RD-TIP-A.
These ratios are considerably lower than the ratios calculated for PCBs despite the fact that the sum of PBDEs was significantly positively correlated with the lipid content.
The Ts/Tv (1.37) observed within C. intestinalis sp. A coding and non-coding regions is considerably lower than the ratio found in C. savignyi (2.45) [ 15].
Sri Lanka has a considerably lower maternal mortality ratio compared to other countries in South Asia (1 in 430 as compared to 1 in 43, respectively) [ 23], which is the direct result of improved education and cost-free health care, advances in knowledge and infrastructure of healthcare facilities, improvements in nutrition, sanitation and immunization practices [ 24].
Although female school enrollment ratios rose throughout the Middle East, they remained considerably lower than male ratios in every country except Lebanon and Israel, which achieved almost universal elementary literacy.
However, the predicted mean IDV Cmin ratio (PP T3) was considerably lower than the observed ratio.
The female-to-male ratio in these studies is considerably lower than the 10 1 ratio found in the Finnish twin study and as reported in previous reviews [ 2, 14, 41], which could be due to differences in methodology and small numbers of cases with eating disorders [ 45, 47].
The same set of X-linked genes yielded a median ratio of 0.59 in females, again considerably lower than the median ratio of the entire female data set for stratum I (i.e., 0.89).
