While topics of discussion varied, the central component of each talk highlighted the overwhelming effects of plastics on the oceans, environmental and public health while focusing upon finding solutions for reducing the human plastic footprint and exploring ways to eliminate plastic pollution through individual action as well as public and private-sector participation.
Fourrier [ 6] clearly demonstrated that the target for the treatment of sepsis is not sepsis itself, but DIC as a result of the overwhelming effects of sepsis on immunothrombosis.
Our analysis did not capture a direct association between diabetes mellitus and vitamin D, possibly due to the overwhelming effects of obesity on both conditions, however patients with impaired glucose tolerance clustered more frequently with an altered vitamin D status, after controlling for potential confounding factors.
Nonetheless, once again, given the overwhelming effect of CO on RBF, we consider that refinements to this criterion are unlikely to influence our conclusions.
This finding might reflect the overwhelming effect of MDRTB on survival and highlights the fact that many patients although not XDRTB were 'MDRTB plus' with resistance to many other SLDs.
The overwhelming effect of SARS on the risk perception by ICU healthcare workers was reported by over 77% of our staff who have participated in the questionnaire survey earlier on reporting a higher rate of hand cleansing practice after exposure to patient's body fluids [ 10].
There was no difference in survival of patients with primary MDR or XDRTB compared with those who developed drug resistance during treatment highlighting the overwhelming effect of drug resistance on life expectancy.
A comparison of models fitted with all possible subsets of the three variables NP, E1, and anti-YAS suggested that NP and anti-YAS were jointly the best predictors of the VTG response, although the contribution of NP was marginal (p = 0.09) over the overwhelming effect of anti-YAS on its own (p = 0.008).
For some cancers with strong environmental components, such as lung cancer, only a few significant loci were found as a result of the overwhelming effect of cigarette smoking on cancer risk, but other cancer types (such as prostate cancer) have yielded many (over 20) such loci.
Ferritin and CRP were correlated and indicate the overwhelming effect of malaria-associated inflammation on isotope incorporation.
A striking finding in the current study is the overwhelming effect of the study site on the associations between investigated risk factors and RBV.
