But even without knowing why, researchers have found they can delay the time to utter exhaustion by getting people a bit chilled before they start.
The goal was to see if denosumab could delay the time until either the cancer spread to the bone or the patient died from any cause.
Dystrophin is thought to mainly protect muscles from damage, and some experts say that restoring its production cannot be expected to reverse the injury, only to delay the time before boys end up in wheelchairs.
Herein, a passive in-core cooling system is proposed to delay the time of fuel melting and to enhance the safety of nuclear power plants during station blackout accidents.
This should be particularly effective in a vomiting species such as man since we have shown in this investigation that alginates not only reduce the peak plasma paraquat values but also delay the time to peak levels.
The electrolyte stability tests showed that, at 45, 50 and 60 °C, the addition of 0.050 0.10 w/w Coulter dispersant IIIA (mainly containing coconut oil amine adduct with 15 ethylene oxide groups) into the positive electrolyte of VRB could significantly delay the time of precipitate formation from 1.8 12.3 h to 30.3 h ∼ 19.3 days.
One might also speculate that the continuative administration of D/EPI until progression can delay the time-to-emergence of resistance disease compared with a stop-and-go or an intermittent application of effective chemotherapy.
The present study has used this longitudinal in vivo imaging approach to determine whether single or multiple brimonidine treatments diminish or delay the time-dependent loss of fluorescent retinal neurons in Thy1-CFP mice following optic nerve crush.
In contrast, KXO1 and dasatinib decreased overall CR-CaP formation by 60% or 50%, respectively (Table 1), and although these decreases may not be statistically significant, the ability of KXO1 and dasatinib to delay the time-to-recurrence of CR-CaP (Fig. 1B) by 1 or 2 months, respectively, showed strong statistical power (Table 1).
