There is an increasing number of reports showing that the extent of hyperglycaemia correlates with diabetic myocardial dysfunction [ 30, 55, 56], that good metabolic control reduces the risk of heart failure [ 57, 58] and that the improvement in diastolic function correlates with the extent of improved glucose control [ 53, 55, 59].
It would therefore seem that assessment of perfusion and/or CVR after any revascularisation procedure would be useful to determine the magnitude and spatial extent of improved flow metrics as an assessment of the efficacy of the revascularisation procedure.
With lower volumes of medium, however (Fig 2A, A', B, B'), the extent of development improved (Fig 2E).
Greater polymer chain stability due to annealing reduces the extent of relaxation and improves the barrier efficacy over amorphous and non-annealed, oriented PET.
It can accurately localize pathology, guide intraoperative biopsies, limit the extent of surgical resection, improve surgical staging, guide surface incisions for deep lesion resection, and even help the surgeon choose the optimal procedure.
If this clot-busting drug is administered within three hours, and up to 4.5 hours in some cases, the extent of recovery can improve drastically.
The country introduced additional bidding for new work that emerges during the course of a project, and dispute-resolution mechanisms that have reduced the extent of renegotiations and improved the quality of competition for contracts.
Similarly, inhibition of EphA7 upregulation limits the extent of apoptosis and improves recovery after SCI; however, its mechanism(s) of action remain(s) unclear.
The tribological behavior of UHMWPE biomaterials is known to be influenced by their extent of crosslinking, which improves wear resistance [ 2– 5], or by oxidation, which decreases it [ 6– 9].
By contrast, the cells which secreted the fusion peptide rapidly (PYY; Fig. 3) showed less extensive α-amidation of the peptide (25%%; Fig. 6c) and the extent of amidation was improved by expression of exogenous PAM (50%%; Fig. 6c).
