The proportion of the anesthetic agent that reaches the follicular fluid (FF) can indirectly reflect the likelihood of the agent's toxicity on the IVF outcome.
We submit that another (perhaps less commonly considered) criteria be considered: The potential impact of the sedative on cognition and neurological sequelae, and the likelihood of the agent (appropriately dosed) to achieve a state of 'cooperative sedation'.
Credit risk discloses the likelihood of target agents reneging on promises (in terms of contracts).
However, in the present age of molecularly targeted anti-cancer agents, the likelihood of an investigational agent inducing tumour shrinkage or preventing tumour growth is often unclear prior to initiating phase II studies.
Preventative measures should be based on the likelihood of an infectious agent being present, the nature of the agent and the possibility of dispersion, e.g. splashing.
In Wisconsin, significant improvement occurred in the responses to the 2 questions about nonpredictive clinical factors and the social factor that may increase the likelihood of prescribing antimicrobial agents (i.e., purulent nasal discharge, productive cough, and patient or parent statement that antimicrobial agents were prescribed for similar symptoms in the past) (Table 2).
One is the likelihood of response to agents that target and modulate this particular marker, the other is the accuracy with which its absence or presence predicts for response to current standard therapy.
In Wisconsin, clinicians who were in practice for the longer period demonstrated significant improvements regarding the likelihood of prescribing antimicrobial agents for purulent nasal discharge (2002 to 1999 ratio = 1.61, p = 0.005) and productive cough (2002 to 1999 ratio = 2.35, p = 0.001).
In estimating the propensity for vasoactive therapy in the entire patient cohort, younger age, male gender, higher SAPS, higher Elixhauser, lower urine output prior to the HE and CSRU (in comparison to MICU) were significantly correlated with higher likelihood of receiving vasoactive agents.
Along the same evolutionary lines, the presence of lobomycosis in these dolphins poses the likelihood that the agent of the disease has found ways to infect a broader array of the species than we know in the same ecologic community.
The point is that even the most trivial knowledge of disjunctive claims involving e may completely upset the value of the likelihood for an agent's belief function.
