Inclusion of the middle hepatic vein (MHV) in a right lobe graft is essential to guarantee uniform venous drainage and optimum function of the graft, but end-to-end recipient-to-donor MHV anastomoses may result in outflow obstruction.
An intact ultrastructure of the algal cell is a prerequisite for the optimum functioning of all physiological processes (Charles [2008]).
Vitamin E is essential for the integrity and optimum function of several systems in the body, including nervous, immune, reproductive, muscular and circulatory systems [ 28].
These studies suggest that the combination of neuronal input into smooth muscle and the inherent contractile properties of smooth muscle provide for the optimum function of cerebral blood vessels (reviewed by Hamel, 2006).
The mean concentration, 67.1 μg/l, is insufficient to achieve optimum function of important selenoproteins.
Functioning was measured using the Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS) [ 14], a 100-point single-item scale used to indicate the individual's level of social and occupational functioning across a continuum ranging from a state of optimum functioning to a state of important functional impairment.
Panel a shows the universal coupling function (UCF) and the optimum function (opn) that drive the developments of auroral zone negative bays plotted in panel b and the growth of the current wedge plotted in panels c and d.
This implies that the PCL may be necessary for obtaining optimum function after TKR, regardless of the internal rotation patterns of knees with a retained or recessed PCL.
The sleep-wake process relies on a combination of homeostatic and circadian factors for its optimum function [ 50], and the full activity of melatonin on the sleep-wake cycle in humans requires the coordination of other time cues such as light [ 12].
Most scientific research on human development has concentrated on the period from birth through early adolescence, owing to both the rapidity and magnitude of the psychological changes observed during those phases and to the fact that they culminate in the optimum mental functioning of early adulthood.
