These modulations are considered "sustained" because the brain activity is continuously enhanced during the 50 s blue light blocks and consistently so during the whole blue/violet fMRI session.
Patients who were on other medications for more than 50% of the study period were considered sustained users.
The following major events were considered: sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), cardiac arrest, heart failure, syncope, and chest pain.
Alternatively, they have considered sustained attention findings (Posner and Petersen, 1990), but most recently from the perspective of a general role in detecting behaviourally relevant salient stimuli (Corbetta and Shulman, 2002; Corbetta et al., 2005).
Considering the sustained release behavior of Z CFX, we would attribute the enhanced antiproliferative effects observed in Z-CFX is due to the strong interactions occurred between LZH and CFX; the host would facilitate the cell uptake and further protect the guest from degradation so that the anions were slowly released and "killed" the A549 cells [55].
Considering that sustained activation of the p38 MAPK pathway in normal cells usually leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, it cannot be considered an oncogenic route.
Considering that sustained exposure to 5-HT induces quiescence and apoptosis in untransformed mammary epithelial cells, the response of MDA-MB-231 cells represents a major change in the way these cells interpret the 5-HT signal.
Considering the sustained, increasing pressure on health expenditure – characterized by ageing populations, rising public expectations, and the introduction of new technology – several European countries have been implementing a wide range of cost containment and quality assurance strategies, based on available healthcare data.
When considering a sustained perturbation γ∙δp (e.g. change in a parameter p) and denoting by δ the (small) deviation from the steady state prior to this perturbation, the time dependent variation in the metabolite concentrations may be observed: (15) δ X ˙ = N ⋅ δv X, E = N ⋅ E ss ⋅ f ′ X ⋅ δX + N ⋅ f X ss ⋅ δE + γ ⋅ δp The subscript ss refers to the steady state values.
