Demographic data, reason for ICU admission, presence of comorbidity, APACHE II score, the modality and duration of dialysis, as well as the outcome in the ICU were documented.
The apparent contradictions in the results of these studies [ 14– 17] may be due to one or more factors which include age and gender of the animals, exercise modality and duration, skeletal site examined, and experimental design [ 15, 17].
Physicians' decisions about using prophylactic treatment are usually based on the patient's risk for developing VTE, expected benefits and risks of antithrombotic drugs, and factors such as treatment modality and duration.
Linear mixed models will be used to model quality of life measures (accounting for clustering within centres) based on subject demographics (including age, sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic status), co-morbidities, and modality and duration of dialysis.
We also acknowledge the relatively short duration of follow-up in our study and the heterogeneity of the study population with differences in tumour biology/grade, types and duration of treatment modalities and duration of diagnosis.
Physical activity interventions included: physical exercise of any type, modality, intensity, and duration, as well as lifestyle interventions that included exercise (i.e., exercise advice); with or without diet or other cointervention.
The objective of this systematic review of randomized controlled trials is to determine the effect of physical activity on healthy women's sex hormone levels, according to the type, modality, intensity, and duration of physical activity, and according to the women's weight and hormonal status.
Manipulating the parameters of time and temperature of exposure adjusts the therapeutic dose given to users, but the question of "what are the optimal modality, temperature, and duration required to elicit the required physiological response?" posed by Costello et al. [ 7] highlights the current "holy grail" in WBC research.
Clinical practice should have a standard for establishing correct treatment modalities and durations.
Clearly, there is a need to promote physical activity, but the optimal intervention modality, intensity, training and duration are still unknown.
Differences between studies, including intervention characteristics (differences in modality, type, intensity, and duration), presence or absence of cointervention, and participants' characteristics before (BMI and hormonal status) and after (weight loss) intervention, were considered for subgroup analysis.
