In multivariable-adjusted regression models, Indigenous Australian status remained significantly associated with greater left atrial diameter and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (tables 3 and 4).
A positive LI indicates greater left than right hemisphere activation, and a negative LI indicates greater right than left hemisphere activation.
This undermines some of her other arguments for greater left unity on the continent with which I would otherwise agree with.
Semantic judgments while no less accurate, were associated with greater left prefrontal BOLD signal change when they involved low frequency words, whereas there was no reliable effect of word frequency in the reading condition.
Disease in these kindreds tends to be more severe, with CM rapidly progressing to greater left ventricular hypertrophy, loss of cardiac function, and increased incidence of sudden cardiac death [9] [12], [14] [18].
In agreement with the described functional asymmetry in the temporal lobe, Karas et al. also found asymmetry in gray matter loss using VBM analysis, reporting greater left than right mediotemporal lobe atrophy in AD [64].
Second, increased rightward biases in line bisection were associated with increased self-reported empathic concern, pointing to greater left compared to right hemisphere mediation of this kind of empathy.
Similarly, in the dialysis population, greater left ventricular (LV) mass index is an independent predictor of SCD [ 45].
