The parenchyma score (0 9) was the sum of the extent of dense parenchymal opacity (0 3), the extent of ground glass opacity (0 3) and the extent of cysts or bullae (0 3).
The extent of dense tissue might also simply raise cancer risk because such tissue has more epithelial cells and thus a higher risk of transformation, and because there is more communication of epithelial cells with connective tissue, which produces hormones and growth factors (Polyak and Kalluri, 2010).
The aim of this study is to compare the extent of small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) oxidation in diabetic and hypertensive patients and to investigate their correlation with Metabolic Syndrome as per NCEP ATP III criterion.
To this end, we established 35 1-km line transects, which were evenly distributed to the extent feasible in dense dry deciduous forest; forest areas without abandoned logging trails or oil exploration tracks were often not accessible.
Regardless, to the extent that energy-dense and sugary foods contribute to overweight and obesity, the American Cancer Society, the World Cancer Research Fund, and the American Institute for Cancer Research recommend limiting consumption of these foods (17, 29).
The extent to which the dense mucin mesh influences the antiproliferative activity of 5-FU was investigated using human pancreatic cancer cells.
However, with the completion of the bovine genome sequencing project, it has become possible to estimate the extent of LD using dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker maps, thereby dramatically increasing resolution.
Many age-related nutritional problems may be remedied to an extent by providing nutrient-dense meals through home delivery or meal congregate programs (Drewnowski and Shultz 2001).
We summarise here some results on a number of craters and basins, spread all over the Moon, which further strengthen the hypothesis of global extent of excavated deep seated dense minerals.
This positive association between educational level and percent density reflected a negative correlation with lucent area, and to a lesser extent a positive correlation with dense area.
