Compared to the Mongolian summer pasture, higher water availability due to higher amounts of snow melt water and spring precipitation were likely to foster plant growth on the Chinese summer pasture during the late spring, the period immediately preceding summer pasture utilization.
The carbon source consumption profiles we observed [ 7] were compatible with the presence of carbon catabolite repression (CCR) in the culture, in which the sole consumption of glucose preceded the concomitant utilization of all other substrates.
Recent evolutionary studies have revealed that bats have coevolved with an as yet unknown factor that drove rapid evolution of the residue of bat ACE2 that interacts with SARS coronavirus, and that ACE2 utilization preceded the emergence of SARS coronavirus capable of infecting humans.
Patients reported high healthcare utilization in the preceding 12 months of the survey.
As discussed in the preceding sections, surfactants facilitate the utilization of petroleum hydrocarbons at higher rates by enhancing their bioavailability.
Second, respondents were asked to recall the outpatient service utilization over the preceding year and thus recall bias could have led to inflation or deflation of visit frequencies.
In the years preceding 2015, we assume a utilization rate of 60%, which is a level consistent with penetration of home management of malaria across heavily affected countries.
Additional variables include patient demographics, comorbidities, clinical and laboratory variables during the index admission, and prior healthcare utilization in the preceding year.
Furthermore, in those subjects with current asthma, lower 25(OH D concentrations were associated with increased odds of asthma exacerbations and healthcare utilization in the preceding year.
Patients' medical records were systematically abstracted every 6 months by examiners, trained and certified by the contract research organization, using a medical record abstraction form developed for this study that summarized mental health resource utilization during the preceding 6 months.
The use of medications was documented for medications used in the two weeks prior to the clinic visit and makes it difficult to correlate to healthcare utilization in the preceding year.
