Preliminary short-duration studies (up to 2 days in carefully controlled hospital settings) suggest the potential to safely improve glucose control with the model predictive control algorithm in youth (10, 11), adults (12– 14), and pregnant women (15) and with proportional-integral-derivative (16, 17), fuzzy logic (18), and glucagon coadministration approaches (19).
This last reference also presents a preliminary study of the duration of the transient state.
Our preliminary data suggest the duration of single symptoms of NHMA may be longer than one hour in a significant proportion of migraineurs, and that the one-hour limit needs review.
Besides these preliminary considerations, the shorter duration of migraine attacks and other characteristic semeiological features of the clinical picture in children are such that the design of randomized controlled trial (RCT) is more problematic in the developmental age than in the adult.
A central composite experimental design was applied and the estimated response surface plots were used to select optimal conditions of pH, temperature and duration of the preliminary deconjugation step.
Our preliminary observation that a longer duration of the rewarming period limits the ICP increase remains to be confirmed in future studies.
Our preliminary study indicated that shorter duration of treatment such as every other day for 30 days was as effective as 60 day administration (unpublished data).
Furthermore, a preliminary attempt to associate CTI duration with postnatal biometric data was undertaken.
Preliminary studies suggested that the duration of the lag phase is predominantly dependent on the composition of the polymer disk with HPMC, EC, and HEC displaying optimum properties.
Preliminary analyses demonstrated a median duration of response to subsequent therapy of 383 and 318 days, for patients who did and who did not derive CB from second-line fulvestrant, respectively.
Our preliminary study evaluated two short-duration sputum pretreatment methods among pulmonary TB suspects in a large referral centre in India.
