Because there is clinical evidence demonstrating the changes in CSF volume and contents under hypoxic conditions [ 3– 5], we hypothesized that duration of sensory and motor blockade in lowlanders would be equal or greater than that in moderately highlanders.
We hypothesize that duration of IMV in such patients is an independent predictor of higher mortality.
As the eyes of totally blind individuals do not transmit ocular light information, we hypothesized that the duration of the melatonin secretory episode in blind subjects would be longer than those in sighted individuals, who are exposed to light for all their waking hours in an urban environment.
Levine (17) hypothesized that the duration of hyperfiltration, which is not usually taken into consideration, may be an important factor in kidney damage.
We hypothesized that the duration of cardiac arrest (CPA TIME) would impact the pulmonary dysfunction in patients with postcardiac arrest syndrome.
Based on these observations, we hypothesized that the duration of each alpha cycle might provide the temporal unit to bind audio-visual events.
We hypothesized that the duration of mechanical ventilation would be a risk factor for dysphagia following extubation, and that patients with more severe dysphagia would have longer hospital lengths of stay when compared with patients with mild or no dysphagia.
Based on these factors, we hypothesized that longer duration of hypotension without hemodynamic support using vasopressor infusion may result in a higher mortality rate and an increased incidence of organ failure in septic shock patients.
18 As other studies have shown that Radiesse® stimulates neocollagenesis, 7 it is hypothesized that the duration of effect of Radiesse® is a result of long-term deposition of new collagen and not due to the continued presence of the microspheres.
We, therefore, hypothesize that the duration of the pheromone stimulus, the corresponding increase of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and the resulting regulation of PKC activity determine pheromone sensitivity of the antenna and might underlie mechanisms of short-term adaptation.
Thus, it is hypothesized here that the duration of the chronic drug treatment is an important factor in determining the duration and magnitude of the brain reward deficit, and further investigation of this relation may offer new insights into the specificity of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the enduring affective disturbances associated with long periods of drug use.
