However, the bioluminescent detection limit corresponded to 4 log10 cfu/ml, almost 2 log10 higher than the detection limit using quantitative cultures (2.3 log10 cfu/ml), making luminescent imaging most useful during the initial phase of the infection.
The most useful sections discuss initial management priorities, including airway assessment, fluid resuscitation, and burn wound size and depth assessment.
Although currently most useful as a staging tool, initial studies have shown FDG-PET to be capable of predicting pathological response in patients with locally advanced breast cancer following a single course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Biersack et al, 2004; Krak et al, 2004).
The authors conclude that their approach is most useful in children with an equivocal initial US [38].
What guidance is most useful to this group during the initial startup phase and the sustaining phase?
However, it now seems clear that initial damage is the most useful parameter and provides the best (and incidentally the easiest) surrogate measure of radiosensitivity.
PET/CT is most useful for detecting metastatic dissemination of pancreatic cancer at initial diagnosis.
Calcium is most useful for cold weather concrete applications where a high initial set strength is required to resist the potential damage to fresh concrete from freezing.
The sagittal plane was utilized for initial evaluations for each technique, as it appeared most useful in the visualization and evaluation of the tooth structure of the crown and root simultaneously.
Our initial hypothesis considered that glucose uptake could be most useful for Prochlorococcus under conditions of energy limitation.
