The highest survival levels (over 60%%) were achieved when this combination was augmented with shredded bark or decaying litter plus a covering layer of moss for water retention (Dohling et al. 2008).
Previously, a randomized controlled trial showed that a blood glucose level of about 6 mmol/l is associated with less multiorgan failure and a significantly higher survival rate compared with levels above 8mmol/ll.
Kaplan-Meier analysis of survival in CRC patient cohort, after 48 months of follow-up, showed a trend of higher survival in patients with increased levels of autoantibodies to PDIA3.
While turkey vultures may be a poor physiological model for the toxic effects of lead [29], they are good sentinels for monitoring lead exposure from ingestion of lead ammunition in field settings due to their feeding ecology and potentially high survival rates despite high levels of lead exposure.
Interestingly, in a previous study in the same blue tit population we found highest survival for individuals with intermediate levels of humoral immune responsiveness [20].
When CD20 positive lymphocyte levels were high, survival improved (p = 0.029) and similar results were seen for CD20 in combination with intratumoural CD3 (p = 0.001) and stromal CD8 (p = 0.013).
In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, a correlation between higher infiltration levels and survival was observed for CD3+ and CD45RO+ lymphocytes, but not for CD8+ lymphocytes.
In the univariate analysis of post-relapse survival, high BCAR4 levels were related with poor outcome (high vs negative HR=1.68, P=0.007, Supplementary Table 2), but this association was not independent of the traditional predictive factors (HR=1.44, P=0.073).
We envisage that while the rapid GALC supply and the by-stander effects (immunomodulation, neuroprotection) exerted by engrafted HC progeny (57, 58) may promote oligodendrocyte survival, high intracellular levels of functional GALC might be necessary to build and maintain functional myelin.
By univariate survival analysis, high sHE4 levels significantly correlated with decreased overall survival, progression-free survival and disease-free survival, retaining their independent prognostic value on the poorly differentiated EC cohort.
