This study examined the 1-year effects of a minimal-contact smoking cessation intervention for cardiac inpatients.
Our study presents the following limitations: it is a preliminary evaluation and focuses on the in vitro effect of a minimal dose of ozone applied in Petri dishes containing bacteria seeded superficially on the Agar medium.
The trial addresses an under-researched area and is the first to test the effect of a minimal home-based psychoeducative intervention for managing anxiety and dyspnoea in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Indeed, similar to the effects of alcohols, a minimal inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide also causes an induction of filamentous growth.
Curare alkaloids produce their effects with a minimal concentration of anesthetic agent, which allows patients to recover promptly and reduces the risk of postoperative pneumonias and other complications associated with surgery under general anesthesia.
In a second set of experiments, we evaluated the effect of setting a minimal threshold on the external confidence.
Since HGS ovarian cancer cells required higher concentrations of TPT than non-HGS cells, we sought to identify a combination that achieved maximal cytotoxic effect with a minimal dose of TPT.
The Q statistic tests the null hypothesis that all studies share a common effect size with a minimal dispersion of the effect sizes across studies.
Studies in Wistar rats have also revealed the suppressive effect of the conventional environment on AA [ 56]; however, no effect or a minimal effect of gut flora on arthritis development was reported in another study [ 62].
Note that, as in the LIF case, everything that we do in this section would still apply if we chose b sufficiently large that the model fired spikes in the absence of input, but we stick with the b < 0 case to include the additional effects associated with the requirement of a minimal input for spiking to occur.
This conclusion of a minimal effect of confounding is consistent with that of a detailed analysis of data from the huge CPSII prospective study [ 23], and means that though the main results we report are based on most-adjusted estimates, this decision had little or no effect on our conclusions or on the magnitude of our estimates.
