TNBC was chosen for our initial studies because it is an attractive candidate for plasmonic photothermal therapy given that it is characterized by tumors that do not express estrogen, progesterone, or HER-2 receptors, making it unsuitable for treatment with modern targeted therapies, and has a worse clinical outcome than other breast cancer subtypes.
Given that kint characterizes the internalization process on the cellular level, we assumed for our analysis that there are no differences in kint between adults and children provided that we did not find any evidence for it to be the case in the literature.
Given that firms characterized by a rigid wage structure may choose to hire more temporary workers as a response to the crisis, we evaluate the heterogeneity of the effect based on the firms' stock of temporary workers before the crisis in order to classify them.
The C8 sensitivity was similar for all strains and substrain MG1655 was selected for subsequent experiments, given that it is the most well characterized substrain.
A further challenge is identifying what is relevant to public health and health promotion practitioners, given that it is a dynamic field characterized by a wide scope of practice, defined regionally and changing constantly.
However, the study was limited to a few genes being tested and given that MM is characterized by genomic complexity with few mutations shared across many patients.
Given that TSS is characterized by a robust elevation in systemic levels of several cytokines and chemokines, neutralization of key cytokines and/or chemokines could have therapeutic potential, as in other inflammatory diseases [14], [15].
Given that neuroticism is characterized by an increased sensitivity to emotional stimuli, cognitive reactivity may play a particular role in those who are high in neuroticism.
Given that diabetes is characterized by persistently raised blood glucose levels, a causative role for hyperglycemia in diabetes-associated cognitive decline would seem likely.
Given that COPD is characterized by persistent and prominent airway inflammation and progressive airflow limitation [ 26, 27], several randomized trials have demonstrated that ICS, with or without concomitant use of LABA, could improve pulmonary function and reduce AEs in patients with severe COPD [ 15, 28], although it was associated with an increased risk of pneumonia [ 14, 15].
Given that MDD is characterized by increased DMN connectivity both during emotional processing paradigms and at rest [ 18, 19], the present findings suggest that increased DMN connectivity may characterize individuals with increasing levels of subclinical depressive symptoms, possibly reflecting heightened self-referential activities and ruminative cognitions.
