If, in the normal course of replacements, we exchanged those 6.5 million heavy trucks running on largely imported diesel for new ones running on domestic natural gas, we could reduce our imports by 2.5 million barrels per day.
In practical terms, the problem is this: once a man starts a course of testosterone replacement therapy, he may begin to feel better but his body then stops making the hormone naturally.
In Turner syndrome, which is also characterized by hypogonadism liver enzymes are often elevated, but readily suppressed by a short course of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Those in the late-initiation group also had significantly fewer ICU infections, shorter duration of mechanical ventilation and a shorter course of renal replacement therapy.
22 Our study, despite its observational nature, which is an obvious limitation, provides a methodology for monitoring QALY changes over the course of GH replacement in comparison with the age- and gender-matched population values.
Treatment of acidosis was not confined to CO2 elimination by the respirator and the hollow-fiber gas exchanger, but also included bicarbonate filtrate substitution and proton dialysis during the course of renal-replacement therapy.
When the results obtained above are used, a power-law dependence is obtained: 1 Of course, the replacement of lknot(A) with lknot(0) in the relationship l A ≈ lknot(A) is an approximation that is expected to break down precisely in the region of validity of this equality.
"Modern architecture died in St Louis, Missouri on July 15 , 1972 at 3.32pm (or thereabouts)." So wrote the polemicist Charles Jencks in the course of launching its replacement, postmodern architecture, and he was referring to the Pruitt-Igoe housing development, a 57-acre array of 11-storey slab blocks which, less than 20 years after they were completed, were destroyed by controlled implosion.
The report finds preoperative insulin resistance to be relevant to the clinical course of elective hip replacement surgery in non-diabetic patients.
These important directions are not, of course, replacements of blue-skies basic research, without which innovations such as the ECG, MRI, or patch clamp would not exist in the first place.
