Models are reductionist in nature and simplify the actual clinical decision-making and biological mechanisms of treatment.
This is reductionist and unhelpful both to yoga and Christianity.
Our model is an intentionally reductionist model of pure demyelination and remyelination, lacking the complexities of adaptive immune response changes found in multiple sclerosis patients and is clearly not high throughput and not suited to screening for pro-remyelinating targets.
We're doing ourselves a disservice if we begin to buy into the idea that any reductionist model is the right one.
Our analysis shows the importance of determining whether a holistic or reductionist model is used to calculate these estimates.
This model (which we refer to as the reductionist model) is sometimes appropriate, for example, with the use of folic acid supplements before and during early pregnancy to prevent a neural tube defect.
The standard method that uses the reductionist model is, however, not appropriate for the prevention of a chronic disease, such as ischaemic heart disease, in which clinical events arise from the disease over time, and the preventive effect is expected to benefit everyone who would, in the absence of intervention, have been affected.
Regardless of whether, in a particular context, the reductionist or holistic model is appropriate, the two specified measures of health benefit overcome limitations associated with the use of relative and absolute risk reduction, but the latter are still needed to calculate the two specified measures of health benefit.
In its reductionist layout, the experimental application of the SN/NSN model is a powerful tool that allows having, at one's disposal, ovarian oocytes of known developmental competence or incompetence.
Most models that seek to characterise the delivery of diffuse pollutants from land to water are reductionist.
