The respiratory muscle weakness results in increased difficulties in clearing respiratory secretions, hypoventilation, recurrent infections, and atelectasis.
As the distortion from the ideal perovskite structure increases, G also increases from 0.15 vu for PrCoO3, to 0.205 vu for LuCoO3, in agreement with the increased difficulty in synthesizing the Tm3+, Yb3+, and Lu3+ members.
This may reflect a real winter increase in regional fat deposition, or an increased difficulty in obtaining an accurate estimate of regional adiposity in winter months.
The lower rates of prenatal diagnosis and TOPFA/selective feticides for DS in multiple than singleton pregnancies reflect in part the increased difficulty of the screening and diagnostic procedures.
By contrast, lack of confidence in the doctor has been associated with increased difficulty in decision making about trial entry [ 1].
Our findings are consistent with the results reported in the original experiment by [48] although overall accuracy was somewhat lower, probably due to increased difficulty in performing the task in the fMRI scanner.
The decrease in the number of complexes as the number of subunits increase might be a reflection of the increased difficulty in assembling and thus evolving larger beneficial complexes.
Furthermore, the increased difficulty in laryngeal visualization might result in excessive LBLM [ 6] and subsequent overestimation of the 'conventional' LBLM angles.
