The recording of electroencephalographic (EEG) activity during response inhibition has been suggested to yield more sensitive indices (i.e., event-related potentials, ERPs) of response inhibition and may therefore clarify the inconsistent results.
Finally, some signals may be much more sensitive indices of even minor increases in overall arousal, whereas other measures may only show measurable responses after a higher threshold of arousal.
Although we used a fixed target power of 25 35 W, the energy delivered to the tissue varied, rendering thus post hoc calculations of possibly more sensitive indices, such as the LSI or the force power time index, impossible.
This study demonstrates subclinical abnormalities of global LV systolic and diastolic function, as reflected by reduced LV longitudinal, not circumferential, strain and SRs, which are more sensitive indices of LV contractility than LV ejection fraction, in patients with AVS.
Compared to LV ejection fraction, myocardial strain and strain rate (SR) analyses are more sensitive indices of LV function and have been shown to be impaired in aortic stenosis despite normal LV ejection fraction [ 10, 11].
Neurally, within-group region-of-interest analysis indicates the regulation effects of reappraisal on amygdala in controls, consistent with previous studies [ 38– 40], suggesting neural correlates as more sensitive indices of regulation outcome.
A broader spectrum of community-linked satisfaction indicators may yield a more sensitive index to reflect community behaviours, interaction, satisfaction and/or attitudes towards urban lake ecosystems.
Renograms proved to be highly variable in mice, such that we decided to test the FUR quantitative approach, which provided a more sensitive index of the extent of renal failure at day 65.
In conclusion, midwall shortening is a more sensitive index of systolic function in subjects with pressure-overload hypertrophy, and it identifies high-risk patients who may benefit from a more aggressive antihypertensive program.
Compared with BSI, SUV seems to be a more sensitive index with a wider dynamic range, reflecting osteoblastic activity for each skeletal lesion with a suitable threshold; this is because SUV was derived from precise 3-dimensional data, while BSI was derived from 2-dimensional data.
While the absence of lexical decision priming has already been demonstrated in this design it seems premature to draw any definite conclusions from this purely behavioral result since event related potential (ERP) measures have been shown to be a more sensitive index of semantic activation.
