The paucity of information on predictability of individual response and information on the operative fundamental mechanisms limit applicability of the adaptive tolerance strategy.
To define a patient's baseline clinical status, the lumbar pathology criteria defined and studied by Glassman et al. (2011) were selected, primarily for their applicability to both operative and conservatively treated patients (Table 3).
He finally focuses on short term, peri-operative 'window of opportunity' studies, which potentially provide greater applicability to the majority of patients.
Currently, there are conflicting data on the performance and applicability of the NDI in patients undergoing either operative or nonoperative treatment for neck-related conditions.
To identify the operative mechanism a series of experiments were performed to test the applicability of the stress-induced hydride mechanism, the hydrogen-enhanced plasticity mechanism, and the decohesion mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement.
February 2013: Applicability of policy to other websites and applications added.
The results, which will be detailed through this paper, showed an acceptable agreement with experimental tests, and then confirmed the reliability of the proposed tool and its applicability to the prediction of stopping distance of different types of trains in various operative conditions, including degraded conditions and failure of some subsystems.
Given that most of the protocol deviations in our study reflected typical clinical practice, and that 93% of all post-operative doses were administered per protocol, these protocol deviations are unlikely to compromise the practical applicability of our results.
Finally, it may be argued that the patients in our database would currently be candidates for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, thereby questioning the current applicability of our data, which were generated from patients who did not receive peri-operative systemic chemotherapy.
(2) Applicability of other requirements.
