In war and crisis, the cumulative exposure to traumatic stress constitutes a predictor of the development of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Among 54 otherwise healthy patients, flow mediated dilation (FMD a measure of endothelial function representing an important early stage of atherosclerosis [ 41], with its presence in coronary or peripheral vessels constituting an independent predictor of cardiovascular events [ 42], improved from 8.4%% to 17.7%% 6 weeks post periodontal treatment (P < 0.01).
Conclusions In patients with ACS, clinical manifestations of AHF at admission constitute a strong predictor of adverse outcome in the follow up that may be significantly modified by the coronary revascularization strategy Fig. 84 (abstract A190).
Although diffusion tensor imaging metrics of fiber integrity may constitute a useful predictor of treatment outcome, there are insufficient data to assess its usefulness.
Still, without prior evidence that this indicator of adherence capacity could constitute a valid predictor of product use and adherence in a trial context, clinical researchers may be reluctant to predicate participant selection solely on such a measure.
Accordingly, a formula combining the expression level and nucleic/cytoplasmic expression ratio of galectin-7 would constitute a rational predictor of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy resistance in patient with advanced OSCC.
CRP thus constitutes a good predictor of chronic inflammation for a variety of different disease populations, despite its inherent limitations.
Consistent with these pathophysiological disturbances (i.e., impaired reabsorption of EVLW), changes in EVLWi (Δ-EVLWi) in the early phase of acute respiratory failure may constitute a significant predictor of survival [19],[19].
Consistent with these pathophysiological disturbances (i.e., impaired reabsorption of EVLW), changes in EVLWi (Δ-EVLWi) in the early phase of acute respiratory failure may constitute a significant predictor of survival [ 19],[ 20].
Plasma CT-proET-1 constitutes a novel predictor of increased 12-month cardiovascular mortality in patients with CHF, independently of disease severity and plasma NT-proBNP.
