In conclusion, a patient-centred approach to the choice of dialysis access that incorporates a balance between recent evidence from the literature and patient preferences may be preferred to the current 'fistula first' focus in VA choice [ 10].
A mechanism with low direct cost of use may be preferred to alternatives implementing more efficient allocations.
All else equal, an ORDC approach may be preferred to FRSP as it results in similar expansion and revenues with less extreme energy prices.
There are, however, some clinical conditions for which an implant-supported removable prosthesis may be preferred to a fixed implant prosthesis.
Conclusion: Sevoflurane or halothane may be preferred to isoflurane in patients with conditions that are known to induce a prolonged Q-Tc interval.
Resource-constrained carving is important for digital forensic triage, as well as for e-discovery, where a reduction in carving time may be preferred to completeness.
In patients with an altered skeletal maxillomandibular relationship and bone resorption, the rehabilitation of edentulous jaws by combining 4 implants, 2 straight medially and 2 tilted distally, may be preferred to avoid a bone augmentation procedure.
The results exhibited that formulated beads may be preferred to localize the antibiotic in the gastric region to allow more availability of antibiotic at gastric mucus layer acting on Helicobacter pylori, thereby improving the therapeutic efficacy.
Under the Nitron-100 treatment conditions used in this work, results indicate that Nitron 100-treated Ti 6Al 4V alloy (evidenced by its higher load-bearing capacity) may be preferred to be used in engineering applications involving high contact loads (e.g. aerospace applications such as aero-bearings).
It also presents a new experience-based approach to determining what areas of the chessboard are important, which may actually be preferred to the chessmaps heuristic.
For this purpose, technologies such as digital signatures, timestamps, confirmation receipt, encryption, etc. may often be preferred to establish authenticity and non-repudiation for patients, practitioners and others.
