Somogyi et al. (2011) assessed the underlying motivations of Chinese wine consumption through quantitative focus groups, with participants divided into groups based on age and gender.
Large differences in the qualitative and quantitative consumption of antibiotics among countries are known to exist and several authors have consistently reported the direct relationship between consumption and selection of resistance for Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Haemophilus influenzae and Escherichia coli and β-lactams and macrolides use.
However, the emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics threatens treatment efficacy, which is due to an inadequate antibiotic consumption inqualitative and quantitative terms.
The literature reviewed below demonstrates that alcohol consumption leads to quantitative and qualitative dysbiosis in the intestinal microbiota of rodents and humans (table 1).
This is the first study that has investigated and compared the reliability, accuracy, the ease of use and time consumption of three quantitative systems, WSA, SA, and stereology.
In addition to studying alcohol dependence, a strategy to increase the power of GWASs has been to examine alcohol consumption as a quantitative variable.
These analyses reveal, for the first time, shared genetic aetiology between the dichotomous trait 'ever smoked' and MDD, but not between smoking consumption, as a quantitative trait, and MDD (Supplementary Fig. S1).
Moreover, data that are available tend to be quantitative consumption data issued from industry and pharmacist surveys regarding only OTC medicines [ISM Health, AESGP Association Européenne des Spécialités Pharamaceutiques Grand Publicc) for the European self-medication industry [ 19]] or they are declarative data from patients themselves revealed by some opinion surveys.
The advantages of this system include low initial cost, greatly reduced solvent consumption, shorter extraction times, quantitative lipid recovery, use of multiple extraction solvents, and reduction in cost per sample.
But they are equal, and better than fans of the rest of the league, based on four quantitative fan consumption metrics: attendance figures for the last two full seasons, television ratings for last season and season-to-date, latest merchandise sales – all provided by MLS – and social media followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
