As the qualitative interview study progressed, characteristics of the care burden for neuromuscular disease were found to be similar to those for other diseases, including cerebrovascular accident (CVA), which is the leading cause of bedridden elderly in Japan.
Therefore the current diagnoses target progressed characteristics of the disease and are composed of various imaging methods such as x-ray computed tomography (CT) succeeded by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [ 27, 28] or positron emission tomography (PET) [ 29], additional to cognitive tests and the assessment of the patient's history regarding the worsening of cognition.
Multiple selective sweeps, simultaneously in progress, are characteristic of a well-mixed microbial population containing >10 cells (see, e.g., estimates in Appendix D ).
The main conclusions of empirical studies of relationships between a variety of measures of children's school progress and characteristics of their families are presented.
Under evolutionary theories of cancer, tumors that progress have characteristics that are advantageous given their microenvironments [ 2].
The school was asked to confirm SATs key stages 1 and 2 results and to give data on general progress, behavioural characteristics and special educational needs.
As the disease progresses with characteristic intimal and muscularis vascular wall changes, however, essential hypertension becomes urate insensitive and salt sensitive.
The spectral changes as the reaction progressed were characteristic of the formation of [2Fe 2S] clusters on IscU as observed when DTT is used, with an absorption peak at 456 nm (Fig. 1A).
Our findings with respect to vigilance are in conflict with results from studies using CPT, suggesting that loss of vigilance as the test progresses is characteristic of children with an ADHD diagnosis [ 12, 14, 15].
We chose to focus on only two PROGRESS-Plus characteristics because we felt that this would be a difficult task for respondents, and multiple characteristics might lead to lack of attention to additional characteristics.
