Unfortunately, we were unable to evaluate time frame to improvement due to lack of detailed temporal data, however the use of anti-inflammatory dose of corticosteroids or a rapid tapering regimen with withdrawal of drugs within a 1-year period appeared to be associated with earlier relapse and increased mortality in 23% of the treated cases.
However, it is important to note that patients could have received corticosteroids up to 6 h after AVP initiation, potentially affecting their ability to detect a response to corticosteroids in the evaluated time frame.
In contrast, the incidence rate of advanced stage breast cancer did not significantly change in the evaluated time frame (66.0 cases per 100 000 women before 1998 to 67.2 cases per 100 000 women after 2003, incidence rate ratio 1.02, 0.92 to 1.13, P=0.74).
We evaluated the time frame for olfactory interference by stimulating different groups of bees with odor (1-nonanol or octanal,) 7, 15 or 30 s after onset of feeding (Figure 2).
Furthermore, we used a molecular clock approach to evaluate the evolutionary time frame of diversification in phyllostomid bats.
In consequence, the temperatures and stresses have been evaluated in the different time frames and the effects of the material distributions in two radial and axial directions have been investigated.
25 For non-randomised studies, comparisons may include either a similarly aged population evaluated in the time frame preceding the introduction of the smoking ban in the same region, or a similar population evaluated during the same time frame in an adjacent geographical area where a smoking ban was not in place.
Secondary analyses varying control chart type, length of episode-free run-in period, time frames to evaluate diagnostic accuracy, thresholds defining either manic or depressive episodes, and missing data methods were performed.
Secondary analyses using a longer episode-free run-in period, different control chart types, different time frames to evaluate diagnostic accuracy parameters, lower thresholds defining episodes of either type, and missing data methods were also performed.
However, unlike our design, these prior investigations have measured insecticide air concentrations over shorter time frames to evaluate day-to-day fluctuations in concentrations.
