As argued above, estimation of a patient's GG* requires more than one determination of the gg because of the different kinetics of A1C and fructosamine: A1C reflects weighted mean plasma glucose over the past 100 days, and fructosamine reflects it over the past 30 days (15, 21).
The criterion for a positive result is either one determination of a titer of 1 320 or greater or a four-fold rise in titer starting from 1 50[ 1 50[2].
Step one: Determination of the basic pattern formed by infiltrates of cells.
There were no differences in the evolution of intra-abdominal pressure, although 16 patients (12%) had at least one determination of intra-abdominal pressure >20 mmHg, and mortality among these patients was 50%.
Of these, 9436 were excluded (1481 for being younger than 45 years; 5980 for having only one determination of HbA1c in the first or second year of the study; and 1975 because they died or moved to another local health unit).
Patients were excluded if they were younger than 45 years, if they had only one determination of HbA1c in the first or the second year of the study, if they had moved to another local health unit, or if they had died during the study period.
Abnormalities were persistent (present on every occasion when measured more than once) in 19 patients (65.5% of those with abnormal LFTs), intermittent (presence of LFT abnormalities was not found in all determinations) in 9 (31%) and in one case (3.5%) there was only one determination of liver function tests.
A "method" is a way of "obtaining reasoned convictions as to what ought to be done" and thus it might reflect a commitment to one or more ethical principles as the ultimate ground of one's determination of what one has most reason to do, here and now, while allowing that one might ordinarily be reasoning from such principles either directly or indirectly.
If the notion is interpreted in this way then the relation between the criterion of identity and the criterion of application will be that of one-way determination.
The work was done on the sly because of one man's determination not to be bullied by City Hall.
This initiative shifts the focus from one-by-one determination of individual protein structures to protein family-directed structure analyses where a group of proteins is targeted and structure(s) of representative members are determined (Terwilliger et al., 1998).
