Another possibility consists in polymer coatings of the drug in order to improve its physical-chemical or biological properties [1, 2].
The usual recommendations for the treatment of staphylococcal TSS do not consider this possibility and consist of a β-lactamase resistant anti-staphylococcal agent and clindamycin in some cases (to decrease the synthesis of TSST-1) (9 – 11 ).
We think that an attractive alternative possibility could consist of promoting the active modification of the lung's "mechanical scenario" by means of lung recruitment and careful PEEP selection (Fig. 1).
However, the QTL region is very large, and we also allow for the possibility that the QTL consists of several linked genes.
If one has access to information pertaining to only a few of the many components of a system, a natural notion of range of possibilities arises, consisting of all the possible global configurations of the system that are compatible with such local information.
The description of a possible world at a certain moment consists of compossible possibilities.
The description of a possible state of affairs at a certain moment consists of compossible possibilities.
Speculation has centered on the possibility that the dark matter consists of hypothetical elementary particles left over from the Big Bang — so-called WIMPs, or weakly interacting massive particles, that are immune to most forces of nature and so can pass through us and the Earth like ghosts.
Thorough analyses of the remains reveal a pattern consistent with a single, highly variable species, the males of which were significantly larger than the females, although there is the possibility that the sample instead consists of two different hominins (members of the human lineage).
