Traditional methods used have been criticised for survey length, infrequent sampling frequency, slow feedback and failure to use results to improve care [ 7].
31, 32 Further, large prospective studies of diet typically rely on a single or infrequent food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) to characterize an individual's dietary pattern over a number of years.
Otherwise stated, there is a greater brain response to novel unexpected sounds than to sounds that simply occur with less frequency (infrequent stimuli).
Furthermore, studies that have investigated the effect of motor neuron firing on mammalian muscle fiber identity have shown that infrequent (10 Hz frequency) electric stimulation of fast muscle fibers significantly prolonged their contraction and relaxation times [ 12].
The frequencies of duplicate imaging are presented in Table 2. Overall, duplicate imaging, for X-ray and CT combined, was a relatively infrequent phenomenon with frequencies of 2.7% within 7 days of index imaging, 6.7% within 30 days, and 9.8% within 60 days.
All these cases were smear-negative, the median time to culture positivity was prolonged, and detection of the LAM antigen and M. tuberculosis in urine samples was infrequent, suggesting a low frequency of disseminated tuberculosis [ 21].
Even though NTMs do not seem to be very transmissible from person to person, especially in immune-competent persons, and outbreaks are infrequent, information on the frequency of the disease is useful, especially because the EU/EEA population is aging and more persons may suffer from chronic disease and possible immunosuppression and therefore be at risk for NTM disease.
Synonymous codon substitutions that change codon usage frequencies from infrequent to frequent usage in regions of slow mRNA translation can deleteriously affect enzyme activity [1].
Monaural left-ear auditory stimuli were presented in a passive oddball paradigm with infrequent deviant tones differing in frequency and duration.
While the patterns of occasional journeys observed might have a smaller impact on disease spread than commuting distances, due to the lower frequency of journeys, infrequent but very long distance trips are likely to play an important role in spreading diseases between regions, particularly in areas like Huangshan, where commuting is limited to very short distances.
