Transsphenoidal surgery (removal of the tumor by an operation through the nose and the sphenoidal sinuses) may, apart from addressing symptoms related to the tumor, also improve pituitary function, although the gland is sometimes damaged further as a result of the surgery.
The apparent occurrence of only glucokinase in both P. tricornutum and T. pseudonana may, apart from reflecting their evolutionary heritage, be an adaptation to a dedicated ATP-dependent pathway for chrysolaminaran digestion.
Theoretically, the higher dislocation rate after the posterolateral approach may (apart from the soft tissue injury) be partly a result of a higher frequency of poorly positioned implants.
Since we were not able to assess whether the proportion of unrecognized, early AMI deaths is equally distributed across hospitals, the inter-hospital comparison may, apart from unevenly distributed, dubious coding practices [ 34], be biased as well.
These results indicate that canonical Wnt, and particularly Dkk-1, may have a role in the bone remodeling phase of fracture healing and may, apart from being a fine-tuning tool of Wnt, also have a role in regulation of the RANKL/OPG pathway.
