The VOT is a provocative test in which StO2 is measured on a distal site, such as the thenar eminence, whilst a transient rapid vascular occlusion is performed, using a sphygmomanometer, for either a defined time interval (for example, 3 minutes) or until the StO2 decreases to a defined minimal threshold.
The vascular occlusion test (VOT) is a provocative test in which StO2 is measured at a peripheral site (such as the thenar eminence) whilst a transient rapid vascular occlusion is performed for either a defined time interval or until a pre-defined StO2 value is reached.
However, we analysed all consecutive patients receiving a medical teleconsultation for abdominal pain in a defined time interval, giving good coverage of the spectrum of patients and symptoms.
It is worth noting that Sz. pombe only becomes diploid transiently, just before meiosis, and therefore the biological significance of HI for this organism may be limited to a defined time interval.
Fourth, as an alternative, for each patient in each defined time interval we obtained the standard deviation of eGFR residuals from the linear regression model used to obtained a eGFR slope [ 29], and refitted Cox regression models.
The sample solution (either physiological saline or a physiologically adjusted hydrochloric acid of pH 1.0) was flushed with 6 gas mixtures containing 0.0 to 15.0% CO2 for defined time intervals and at a gas flow rate of 50 ml/min.
In addition, area under the time-effect curve for the effect change scores was calculated for defined time intervals.
Zebrafish acclimated to 28°C were directly transferred to 18°C and acclimated for defined time intervals (between 1 h and 24/72 h) according to previous studies [61], [62].
In order to study the effect of proteolytic enzymes, the enzyme was incubated with 1/20 w/w of trypsin and chymotrypsin in 50 mM K-PO4 buffer, pH 7.8, at 37°C for defined time intervals.
Bituminous mixture was aged in the forced draft oven in a special aging box and representative samples of asphalt were taken at defined time intervals for rheological tests.
