A priori, we identified three measures of "unsuccessful transition": inadequate preparation (i.e., lack of receipt of recommended transition elements) by patient self-report, prolonged gap between pediatric and adult care, and patient dissatisfaction with the transition process.
Low point accuracy and prolonged data gaps significantly limited the potential clinical usefulness of the CGM trend data.
The presence of repeated elements in the genome significantly increases the number of contigs obtained, thus prolonging the gap closure.
For instance, in wild-type cells the gap between the arrival of the middle and late coat is typically very short, although in certain mutants the gap is prolonged and more variable (e.g., Newpher and Lemmon 2006; Chi et al. 2012).
We calculated three estimates of exposure lines: raw exposure analyses, in which no gap filling or extension of four weeks was realised; gap corrected exposure lines, in which gaps of less than four weeks were filled and (as a consequence of filling out gaps) exposures were prolonged with four weeks; and switch corrected exposure lines, in which we excluded the first four weeks after switch.
But prolonged unemployment, and the résumé gap that reflects it, doesn't have to be a liability.
We calculated frequency of data gaps and analyzed the gaps subdivided as very brief (<15 min), brief (15 30 min), prolonged (>30 min) and very prolonged (>2 h), so as to better describe the clinical significance of the missing trend data.
A disadvantage of the open-wedge osteotomy is the resulting gap may prolong healing time; if the gap is filled with an avascular bone graft, it may increase the risk of nonunion and reoperation.
High diversity implies prolonged circulation in populations with large immunity gaps.
Thus prolonged antecedent oxidative stress is linked to reduced gap junctional trafficking, but reducing ROS/RNS levels after the onset of the deficit did not restore dye transfer.
