We have previously reported from the same human population that As exposure is also associated with a significant increase in the MMP-9/TIMP1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase) ratio, indicative of ongoing inflammation (Josyula et al. 2006).
†Percentage is ratio of total ongoing pregnancies.
Compared with moderate or lower morbidity, individuals with high morbidity had a 30% higher rate of ongoing use (rate ratio 1.30, 95% CI 1.16 1.45, P < 0.001), and individuals with very high morbidity had 21% higher use (rate ratio 1.21, 95% CI 1.07 1.37, P = 0.003).
In that regard, the development of extremely low-dose imaging techniques with significant signal-to-noise ratio has been of ongoing interest [11 14].
Trends in the North need to be assessed for slowdowns in the decline of concentrations, for changes in the DDE to DDT ratio, and for the effect of ongoing input of DDT used in the Tropics.
Computing a ratio of artifact amplitude to the amplitude of ongoing brain activity, we find that the signal quality of invasive EEG is 20 to above 100 times better than that of simultaneously obtained non-invasive EEG.
For this reason, the search for new molecules with a better risk-to-benefit ratio is ongoing and, furthermore, inhibitors of signal transduction via the intracellular pathways of inflammation are now in development.
The ratio of LC3-I to LC3-II can thereby serve as a monitor of ongoing autophagy [40].
On the other hand, the low critical mass of ongoing pregnancies on the island of La Réunion may have failed to properly investigate the ratio of severe to mild H1N1/09 influenza disease.
Continuous modifications of the sirolimus protocols to increase our benefit-to-risk ratio are ongoing and indicate a continued role for the drug in posttransplant immune suppression.
