6. Minimize status differences and insist on mutual respect.
"Minimize status differences".
Delirium prevention should start in the operating room by maintaining hemodynamic stability, providing adequate oxygenation, optimizing the acid base status, minimizing electrolyte abnormalities and administering appropriate drug dosages during the operation (Jin and Chung 2001).
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary, evidence-based and comprehensive approach used to promote better self-management of the disease, minimize symptom burden, optimize functional status, and increase participation in activities of daily life.
The composition of daily addition stock solutions (Stock 1: 40 mM KH2PO4, 210 mM NH4NO3, 420 mM KNO4, 20 mM (NH4 2SO4; Stock 2: 20 mM Ca(NO3 2, 40 mM Mg(NO3 2, 0.4 mM H3BO3) was optimized in preliminary experiments to maintain shoot nutritional status and to minimize solution pH fluctuation.
This approach allows the analysis of fish with a more uniform health status, minimizing interindividual variation, and consequently, enabling a more consistent identification of regulated genes on a reduced number of animals.
Goals of caring for patients with a chronic condition are to enhance their functional status, minimize symptoms, control pain, reduce disability, and prolong life through secondary prevention [ 1].
Conceptually, prisons represent a "equal access" health care system in the United States (see Delgado & Humm-Delgado, 2008) that minimizes differences in economic status and health coverage similar to the Veteran's Health Administration (Saha et al., 2008) and the Medicare program (Schneider et al, 2002).
Inclusion criteria included Tanner stage >1 and sedentary status (<3 h regular exercise/week) to minimize pubertal and training effects.
In our models that adjusted for the propensity score or for other covariates we created dummy variables for missing race, obesity status, and income to minimize the number of observations that needed to be removed for missing data.
