Since there are currently about 900 000 smokers in Finland, the average net effect of €134 000 per individual on public finance balance (without taking into account the monetary value of life years lost) would correspond during the next decades to about 120 billion Euros total increase in costs (over 2.5-fold to annual state budget).
In order to show that the lost masses corresponded to the antibacterial activity, the isopropanol cell wash extract was fractionated by HPLC on a Poros column and the masses of the active fractions were determined.
Indirect costs were included assuming that three hours were spent per screening test, that 37% of all men aged 65 were employed, and that an average salary as an estimate of the value of lost productivity corresponded to £15.90 per attendee.
However, given the results of the calculation of the rates of false negatives in the E. coli genome in the starting dataset (see Additional file 3) we are confident that many interactions classified as lost links indeed correspond to changes of transcriptional regulation between orthologous genes.
After one year, all implants (30/30) were stable and none had lost osseointegration, which corresponded to an overall implant success rate of 100%.
By sectors, the highest number of days lost for this reason correspond to industry (37.1%), the service sector (29.9%), construction (27.5%) and agriculture (5.5%).
The 47 genes lost on the chromosome correspond to 31 regions of loss spanning between one and seven consecutive genes present in BBge and/or BPam (supplementary table 2 A, Supplementary Material online).
Therefore, we assume the same, i.e., that the observed gyrophase extent (disappearance) of the second ring corresponds to the lost due to the second reflection.
Since there are quite a number of people who responded "don't know" (DK) to either of these questions, in order not to lose information, the DK responses were re-coded as 0. In this way, their responses to other variables are not lost and their DK reply corresponds to the middle choice.
One DALY corresponds to one lost year of healthy life, or to multiple years experienced at less than full health.
