Blood tests performed at enrolment and during follow-up cover aspects of general health: haemoglobin and platelet count, biological markers of hepatitis C virus infection, markers indicating past or current infection with hepatitis B virus and parameters indicative of the progression of HIV infection (CD4 cells count, HIV plasma RNA).
The first was that long-term dietary exposure to genetically modified NK603 maize is linked with statistically significant differences in blood parameters indicative of kidney deficiency and liver congestion/necrosis.
Thirty-three parameters, indicative of one or more hazard properties of molecules or operational conditions pertaining to the synthesis, are used to characterize the risk potential of the synthesis.
The present investigation was designed to evaluate the effects of subacute exposure to static magnetic field (SMF) on some parameters indicative of oxidative stress and on oxidative DNA damage in pregnant rat.
The following parameters indicative of the oxidative status were measured in plasma: ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), α-tocopherol level, glutathione peroxidase activity (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) concentration and paraoxonase activity (PON).
To establish the association between parameters indicative of delay and failure in the resuscitation and mortality in patients with severe sepsis, and to describe the pattern of use of vasoactive drugs in patients with septic shock.
As suggested in some studies [7, 8], indirect relationships may be developed between S u and (q c –σ′σ' v ) by incorporation of the plasticity index PI and overconsolidation ratio (OCR) as parameters indicative of the soil type and stress history.
In CLP-Only mice, although the deregulation of parameters indicative of organ injury/dysfunction was greater in dying versus surviving mice, it never exceeded the changes in surviving CLP-ODam animals, and it was not followed by histopathological damage and/or mitochondrial dysfunction.
In addition, cell phenotype parameters indicative of activated lymphocytes (CD25, CD8, CD4, lymphocyte) at day 37, and neutrophil counts at day 59, show a significant effect of FIVC.
These are two kinematic parameters indicative of the timing taken by the hand to establish adequate finger positioning before object lifting.
Untreated mice displayed also significant changes of the following parameters, indicative of a systemic immune response to infection: reduced number of red blood cells and leukocytes, reduced haemoglobin concentration and red blood cell volume, (Table 3).
