"gist level" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It refers to the main or general idea of something. Example: The students were asked to summarize the article at the gist level, focusing on the main points rather than the details.
This raises an interesting question - how long are decision-makers supposed to remember gist-level information once they have come to a decision?
The amount of information conveyed may have been overwhelming and reduced people's recall, even though we asked about gist-level information [ 23].
As Whitehall has become meekly compliant with ministerial whims, "Yes, minister" has ceased to mean "No, minister", and poorly designed and executed policies have proliferated.That is the gist of criticisms levelled by Sir Christopher Foster, a former adviser to both Conservative and Labour governments.
Finally, the prognostic significance of GRO β protein expression level in GIST was evaluated.
However, in GIST patients, the expression level of ABCB1 did not seem to impair the initial response to IM [ 14].
The non-sustainable response to therapy could also be explained by reduced drug levels over time as shown in pharmacokinetic studies of GIST patients wherein imatinib levels decrease with ongoing use because of increased drug clearance (Judson et al, 2005).
The aim of the current study was to compare L1 serum levels of GIST patients with those of healthy controls and to determine whether levels of soluble L1 in sera could serve as a prognostic marker.
We focused on the differentially expressed miR-17-92 miR-17-92 miR-17-92sters, which hand relatively low expression levels in GIST and potentially target both KIT and ETV1.
Our study suggests that also in GIST, high L1 serum levels are leading to high cell dispersal of the tumor which augments the risk of recurrence.
When we raised the assumed yearly incidence of GIST to the highest levels reported in Western countries (1.5 per 100,000 persons), the probability that third-line treatment-eligible GIST prevalence remained below the ultra-orphan disease threshold was virtually unchanged (99.6%).
