This index is close to 0.5 for healthy animals and tends to be 0 or 1 for animals that have a preferential use of the left or the right paw, respectively.
We could not measure whole-body O2 uptake, but together with the identical total CO2 production and the comparable endogenous glucose production rate, this finding indicates that HAM1101 caused a preferential use of glucose for energy metabolism.
In the presence of the transgene, the previously observed shift towards a preferential use of carbohydrates for energy production in the 12 weeks-old mdx heart was emphasized, suggesting that this shift is adaptive.
Unexpectedly, a preferential use of the packaging signal for recombination was observed, as compared to the IRES.
An AI lower than 0 indicated a preferential use of the unaffected forelimb for postural support.
The experts failed to reach a favorable consensus for the preferential use of an LAI formulation (as 1st line treatment) for the following groups.
Some guidelines to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) do not establish a recommendation for the preferential use of either heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) or heated humidifiers (HHs), while other guidelines clearly advocate the use of HMEs.
Several published guidelines on the prevention of VAP have not established a recommendation for the preferential use of either HMEs or HHs [ 28- 30], while others clearly advocate the use of HMEs [ 31, 32].
While this might be seen as an argument for the preferential use of nuclear genes (or ESTs) in phylogenetic analyses, over the molecular characters from other subcellular compartments (such as chloroplast and mitochondria), these subcellular compartments did contribute character support to the simultaneous analysis tree despite topological conflict.
Consequently, strong evidence for the preferential use of liquid thickening as a strategy in dysphagia intervention is not currently available.
