To ensure a presumably positive benefit/risk ratio, indication of HES should be strictly limited to the restoration of intravascular volume in hypovolaemic patients (acute volume resuscitation).
High-tidal-volume ventilation resulted in lung injury, as indicated by an increase in total protein in bronchoalveolar fluid, wet-to-dry ratio (indication of pulmonary edema), and Evans Blue dye extravasation (indication of vascular damage).
The low, medium and high values of the circulatory ratio are indications of the youth mature and old stages of the life cycle of the tributary basins.
Thereby, the very high COD yield and the greatly increased VFA/TIC ratio are indications of low process intensity in terms of the degradation rate of the dry organic matter.
Table 1 lists patient baseline characteristics, operative findings, and perioperative biochemistry between group 1 and group 2. Age at operation, sex ratio, surgical indications, preoperative thyroid-stimulating hormone level, blood loss, weight of excised gland, and size of dominant nodule were similar between the two groups.
Only the RNA samples with A260/A280 ratio (an indication of protein contamination) of 1.9 2.1 and A260/A230 ratio (an indication of reagent contamination) greater than 2.0 were used and 100 ng/ μL RNA was subjected to qRT-PCR and conventional RT-PCR assays.
The bank's core tier-one capital ratio, an indication of its financial strength, is low compared with a number of its rivals and some analysts have said it needs further cash to cushion it against future writedowns.
Similarly, the lipid/water ratio, an indication of muscle atrophy, was increased in the neuropathic group, whereas no differences existed between the control and non-neuropathic groups.
Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, an indication for microalbuminuria, showed a 2.8-fold2.8-folde (186 ± 29 μg/mg; P < 0.05; Figure 1C) with HF-diet compared to chow diet (65 ± 19 μg/mg).
The likelihood ratio, an indication of how much a given fetal fibronectin test result increases or decreases the probability of having sPTB, was 4.0 (95% CI: 2.9, 5.5) for positive result of predicting birth before 34 weeks of gestation among asymptomatic women [ 44].
