We conclude that lifetime differences in circulating levels of FSH between individuals can influence menstrual cycle length and a range of reproductive outcomes, including menopause timing, infertility, endometriosis and PCOS.
Lifetime differences in costs and health effects were compared by means of an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of stroke service care as compared to usual care, i.e., the difference in costs between the two settings divided by the difference in effect.
The effects are not small: one study showed that an American worker who was among the bottom one-seventh in looks, as assessed by randomly chosen observers, earned 10 to 15 percent less per year than a similar worker whose looks were assessed in the top one-third — a lifetime difference, in a typical case, of about $230,000.
"You could go to law school or do a Ph.D. in molecular biology, but the lifetime difference in earnings is about a million dollars.
The average lifetime difference in personal income between the dropouts and the children who finish school is over a million dollars.
If the genetic setup would be stable over a lifetime, these differences in effect weight would not be the case, and thus, a further player must be involved to explain the increased impact of these early gene-by-environment interactions on disease development.
Thus, fFCS is able to distinguish species, even if they have very close or the same fluorescence lifetime, given differences in other fluorescence parameters.
No fluorescence lifetime difference was observed in the tumors with no HER2 expression, where the optical probes have no affinity to the HER2 receptors; this shows that lifetime is relatively insensitive to EPR effects.
When the cost of college and lost income while in school are factored in, the lifetime difference narrows to $550,000 -- still a significant difference by anybody's measure.
Differences between lifetime values in the pEM and the PVM (≈290 ps) were similar to the differences between lifetime values in the PVM and PM (≈230 ps); these two differences, added together, accounted for the large Di-4 lifetime difference between the erythrocyte and PM (≈500 ps) (P<0.00001) (Fig. 1G).
And when people began to wonder if he really was who he said he was in regards to race after seeing enraged sermons from Obama's long-time pastor, Jeremiah Wright, Obama delivered one of the most memorable speeches of my lifetime explaining the differences in the experience of whites and blacks in America, as well as his own, personal relationship with his race.
