Our modality data are in line with those of other studies in recent years with regard to MRI and CT being the most prevalent modalities in published radiology research.
Fewer studies exist in peritoneal dialysis (PD) or across all prevalent modalities.
A worldwide survey [26] showed that CRRT was the most prevalent initial modality for AKI patients (80.0%), followed by IHD (16.9%), and PD and SLED (3.2%) (Table 3).
For respondents combining CAM with CDT, dietary supplements and herbal medicine were particularly prevalent CAM modalities, pointing to interaction effects as an important safety issue for further investigation.
These choices for the types of CAM included in this question were based on prevalent CAM modalities reported in other investigations of CAM use in Lebanon [ 19, 21– 23].
Complementary to prevalent brain mapping modalities like functional and diffusion-weighted imaging, the approach can provide precious insights into the mutual influence of trophic and plastic processes in health and pathological states.
Five scenarios were compared with the current England dialysis modality distribution (prevalent patients, 14.1% PD, 82.0% ICHD, 3.9% conventional home HD; incident patients, 22.9% PD, 77.1% ICHD) with all increases coming from the ICHD population.
The prevalent use of CAM modalities among Lebanese breast cancer patients, coupled with poor CAM use disclosure to physicians, could potentially jeopardize the health and wellbeing of patients.
Although not as prevalent as clinical CT this modality has a role in MI.
