This opens the possibility for improvements in the signal processing part of the system.
As several end points in this study represent monthly averages during each 3-month study period, the possibility for improvements in actual monthly MM/MRM outcomes with nVNS treatment over time warrants further evaluation.
Recommendations of the Citizen's Council of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in the United Kingdom reflect some consensus among council members that ultra-orphan drugs (prevalence <0.18 per 10 000 population) be considered for special funding on the basis of severity, possibility for improvements in health, and life threatening disease.
Then, the possibility for improvement of the production design becomes greater, since this information contributes to kaizen or improvement.
The CFD study also leads to a better understanding of the ventilation and efficiency of safety systems (gas detection, depressurisation) with possibility for improvement of the hazardous area classification rating.
Analyses of the assemblies identified the assembly step as a major possibility for improvement.
From our point of view, it is likely that these problems limit the possibility for work-related enjoyment among nursing staff in general, indicating a possibility for improvement of the work environment with adherent facilitation of flow situations.
Because the level of depressive symptoms is already relatively low in patients with subthreshold depression compared with patients who have major depression (notwithstanding a comparably low HRQoL), the possibility for improvement is reduced ('bottom effect').
However, since the baseline scores in the control group were significantly higher, there was less possibility for improvement, and when we controlled for this 'false start' the differences in effects on health-related quality of life were no longer significant, which should be read as a warning against overly optimistic interpretations of our data.
We refer to them as background parameters, in that changes here reflect the influence of insults arising at an environmental level (including the internal environment) and will be added to the changes at all other levels – note that, at the 0-state, there is no possibility for improvement.
In these studies [ 6– 9], there has been the general observation that, in COPD patients, a poorer baseline condition, due to a higher magnitude of breathlessness, deconditioning in overweight, hypoxemia, or health status impairment, can leave greater possibility for improvement in exercise capacity after PR.
