The patients underwent two echocardiographic studies to examine the structural and functional changes in LV mass after the first post-conversion year.
However, none of these studies included patients who had received renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers together with the m-TOR inhibitors during the first post-conversion year.
In a controlled clinical trial evaluating the effects of conversion from CNIs to SRL in KT recipients, Paolleti et al. observed a significant regression of LVMi in patients treated with SRL and RAS blockers at the third year of follow-up, but RAS blockers were only prescribed after the first post-conversion year [ 7].
A reduction of 20% results in 4,640 km2 such a conversion per year, which is larger than the estimated conversion demand for urban development alone (1,800 km2) because other associated demands in forestland conversion resulting from population growth also exist.
If we assume a maximum reduction scenario of 50% of the current forest loss rate within the 1.3 million km2 unprotected forests, that would result in 2,900 km2 forestland conversion per year.

But it is far from clear that Mr. Qaddafi has made a full conversion after years of promoting terrorism around the world.
His conversion followed years of attending Mass to hear his wife sing in the choir of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington.
According to the government there are around 200,000 domestic extensions and loft and garage conversions every year.
