Steeper incremental protocols and short duration stages (e.g. 1 min) tend to result in higher peak workloads at the end of the test, while less steep protocols or longer stages (e.g. 3 min) terminate at workloads closer to critical power [39, 47].
The divergence in the present findings from previous studies may be have partly resulted from the difference in illness duration, stages of depressive severity, and the selection of ROI.
The oxidation tests were divided into five stages which had the duration: first stage, 15 h; second stage, 245 h; and the last three stages, 250 h.
The critical values of clinical lipidomics should be to integrate lipidomic profiles with patient phenomes and clinical phenotypes, to identify disease severity-, duration-, stage-, subtype-, and prognosis-specific lipidomic changes and understand molecular mechanisms of the disease.
The mean duration from stage 1 to stage 3 was 4.5 (SD 1.2) months (range, 3.5∼6.5 months).
No significant differences in terms of PD onset age, disease duration, HY stage, SE-ADL stage or MMSE performance were found between men and women.
We then deduce the duration of stage 2 based on the stage 1 to stage 2 ratio observed during active case detection in villages within the same sites.
Because duration of stage 32 is long, we subdivided stage 32 into "early stage 32" (75–100 days) and "late stage 32" (101–125 days).
The median response duration in stage IIIB was 34 weeks (range 20 54 weeks) and in stage IV 26 weeks (range 14 38 weeks).
