Alexander Goldstein Brooklyn, July 26, 2009 To the Editor: What I find missing from most discussions concerning cost reduction in health care is the huge potential for lowering costs by paying better attention to the psychological needs of patients.
Thus, it offers the potential for lowering the cost and enhancing the efficiency of bioethanol production, as compared to independent hydrolysis and fermentation steps.
Whereas urban energy transition studies devoted a lot of attention to addressing the large-scale adoption of sustainable energy technology, one should not forget the potential for lowering energy consumption by improving energy efficiency standards in residential and industrial areas.
Due to the operation in mixed and boundary friction, minimization of friction losses in automobile powertrains offers high potential for lowering of greenhouse gas emissions and saving fossil fuels.
This is due to their potential for lowering the costs of post-combustion CO2 capture compared with the more established technologies, which are based on the use of chemical solvents.
Larger subsequent studies should clarify the effect of exenatide on trends in cardiovascular markers, including weight loss and SBP, and explore the potential for lowering overall risk.
Obviously, the choice of glycemic goals and the medications used to achieve them must be individualized for each patient, balancing the potential for lowering A1C and anticipated long-term benefit with specific safety issues, as well as other characteristics of regimens, including side effects, tolerability, ease of use, long-term adherence, expense, and the nonglycemic effects of the medications.
35 44 45 Since both childhood obesity and maternal BMI emerged as strong predictors of medication use in childhood policies aimed at curbing obesity in the child could have the potential for lowering the risk in children who might be genetically predisposed to this disease.
For example, the discovery of rare variants in a gene called PCSK9 that regulates cholesterol levels has led to a new class of potential drugs for lowering cholesterol.
We speculate that small molecule inhibitors of Lpcat3 could be of potential utility for lowering plasma lipid levels in hyperlipidemic individuals.
