Although some AOM cases resolve spontaneously, the majority receives antibiotic treatment in order to diminish the duration of symptoms and increase the likelihood of resolution [ 14]; AOM is one of the primary reasons for pediatricians to prescribe antibiotics [ 15- 17].
In order to diminish the duration of the experiments, we waited 5 min after changing between frequencies before recording since it has been previously shown that this short duration is sufficient to produce a practical steady state in Parkinsonian motor symptoms (Moro et al., 2002).
Tail beat frequency was constant in all experiments for both species, but in the presence of cylinders >2 cm in diameter, C. galusdae diminished the duration of the coast phase evidencing a higher propulsive effort.
In fact, there is body of evidence bolstering that low dose dexamethasone (0.3 mg/kg/12 × 4 doses) significantly diminished the duration of hospital stay, the need for blood transfusion, oxygen and analgesics use, and duration of fever, without a rebound effect [ 31] which was observed with high dose methylprednisolone in cases of VOC [ 32].
These findings indicate that there is an optimal MH treatment strategy for severely hypoxia-ischemic neurons, prolonged duration might diminish the neuroprotection, and that MH treatment likely initiates neuroprotection by inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.
However, this study also suggested that this rate diminishes with the duration of the disorder [ 23].
Interpregnancy interval was computed as the amount of time between current and previous delivery dates, diminished by the duration of the current pregnancy.
Adaptation refers to the notion that the effect of a disease on subjective well-being diminishes with the duration of the disease, while scale of reference bias refers to the notion that people compare themselves with others – for example people of the same age or people with the same health problems – in evaluating their well-being (see [ 27]).
Patients with a higher level of education, without hypertension, and with a combination of strong knowledge and positive attitude had a greater probability of achieving higher scores at the level of the independence domain, but this probability diminished as the duration of diabetes increased.
First, a city of highly active individuals may in fact diminish the number of fatalities because the average duration of the interactions between agents is reduced.
Hence, if selective for target, long residence times can increase the duration of drug efficacy in vivo and can significantly diminish the potential for off-target-mediated toxicities.
