Based on the extant literature, patients with EMs have higher MMP-2 levels in the serum and peritoneal fluid compared to patients without EMs; the stroma and epithelium of ectopic endometrium also demonstrate increased MMP-2 expression [ 13].
Extant reports of patients receiving significantly different recommendations by physicians practicing in different locations have been published both in the medical literature and the lay press.
While a small and decreasing minority of patients in this centre had surgery in the public hospital, further research is warranted to address the extant 50% of these patients (and 28% of all patients) not receiving preoperative PFMT, and the perhaps corresponding underuse of public sector PFMT providers.
Such psychotherapies emphasized the acquired, faulty mental processes and maladaptive behavioral responses that act to sustain neurotic symptoms, thereby directing interest toward the patient's extant circumstances and learned responses to those conditions as a causative factor in mental illness.
Based on the conceptualization of disease-specific symptoms as causal indicators of generic HRQOL, and the extant literature on adult patients with FM, it was anticipated that more severe pain and fatigue would be associated with more impaired generic HRQOL.
CHILLING TILL TIMESHIP GETS HERE For those who can't wait for Timeship to land, there are the other operations already extant: the Cryonics Institute (38 frozen "patients," 10 cats and 7 dogs) in Clinton Township, Mich.; Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz.; American Cryonics Society in Cupertino, Calif.; and Trans Time Inc. in San Leandro, Calif.
This might have been partly due to the fact that the content of the item bank was not informed initially by patient input but by extant questionnaires, which might have contributed to the high level of item misfit.
Our study indicates that the DM signature improves risk stratification for breast cancer patients compared to the major extant signatures.
A number of other PSPs have recently been reviewed elsewhere in the literature using similar methodology, 15 17 and a complete examination of the part of patient and family engagement in every extant PSP would be unfeasible.
Furthermore, as we move toward the translation of expression analysis through genomic or proteomic technologies to the clinic, there is no easy way to compare a patient's expression data with that extant data.
