Except for established traditional risk markers for vascular disease, we also estimated vascular complications non-invasively by performance of carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (PWV, with applanation-tonometry) and intima-media thickness of carotid arteries (IMT, with B-mode ultrasound).
Cases and controls were similar with respect to most characteristics, except for established reproductive risk factors (e.g., cases were less likely to be parous, P<0.01 or to use OCs, P<0.01; Table 1).
Look for established groups.
Except for the established risk factors, presence of target organ damage has an important role in the treatment of hypertensive subjects.
Except for the established risk factors [age, gender, family history of cardiovascular disease, smoking, obesity, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus (DM ], presence of subclinical target organ damage (TOD) (left ventricular hypertrophy, carotid atheromatosis and renal impairment) has an important role in the treatment of hypertensive subjects and the prevention of cardiovascular disease [ 2, 3].
It is not required to inform the scheduling L1/L2 control channel signals except for the first establishing time [5, 6].
Because budget airlines charge the same fares for travellers aged 2, 22 or 102, they do not ask at the time of booking for childrens' ages - except to establish, for example, whether they are eligible to travel unaccompanied.
Except for the method established by Rodrigo which provided the dimeric intermediate in 61 % overall yield and good diastereoselectivity (dl:meso isomers = 53 8, Scheme 2) [67], other methods unfortunately suffered from low yields [65] or poor diastereoselectivity [66, 68, 69].
The focus of the course was on the process, not the quality of the final product, so assessment was mainly formative except for progress benchmarks established at the beginning of the semester.
