In agreement with previous studies on LPD, cartilaginous lesions were predominately noted at the medial facet of the patella (55%) and the lateral femoral condyle (25%; Table 1) [ 1, 5, 6].
They also noted that normoxic ROS synthesis is predominately mitochondrial in origin within these cells, suggesting that the mitochondria may play a central role in the regulation of the acute hypoxic response in these cells.
Changes in the age distribution of those infected have also been noted, and the conventional concept that meningococcal disease predominately affects infants and young children should be revised because the median age of meningococcal disease case-patients has increased (2 ).
For example, two thirds (39/63) of ZQOL patient with HZ and currently in full or part-time employment noted that their work had been affected by their condition, predominately in terms of time taken off work.
In our study population, M. bovis infection in humans appeared to be predominately indigenous in Taiwan because no imported case was noted.
As shown in Fig. 2D, an asymmetric distribution of electrostatic potentials was noted for the Puf domain of Puf-A: its concave surface has predominately positive basic electrostatic potentials (shown in blue; left panel of Fig. 2D), presumably for RNA binding, while the convex surface in this model is acidic (red) with partly hydrophobic (white) areas (right panel).
It was also noted, both in the laboratory and the clinical settings, that perfluorocarbons accumulated predominately in the dependent regions of the lungs [ 5, 6].
The study also says - as has been noted many times before - that electric cars do not make sense if the electricity they consume is produced predominately by coal-fired power stations.
However, it should be noted that although clinical data exist demonstrating the ability of some cholesterol-lowering drugs to improve the LDL subclass distribution profile, the supporting data come from predominately smaller studies.
