A report of conference proceedings describing a subgroup of patients with migraine with aura enrolled in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial ("almost one-third" of 211 patients) (Freitag 2003) reported that topiramate treatment was associated with a significantly greater reduction in the occurrence of photophobia compared with placebo (41% reduction vs 15% reduction, P=0.02).
Again, after a mean follow-up of 4.8 years, the treatment arm failed to show a superior reduction in the occurrence of major coronary events but did show a reduction in nonfatal acute myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, and peripheral vascular disease (29).
It remains to be seen whether the abandonment of cranial irradiation therapy from the late 1990s (Hill et al, 2004) will lead to a reduction in the occurrence of central nervous system tumours in leukaemia survivors, and whether the reduction in total dose of therapeutic agents, such as anthracylines, will reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular complications.
An increase in the population size (and, correspondingly, a decrease in the noise level) leads to a clearcut reduction of the occurrence of noise-induced jumps, reaching a plateau at J∼0.3, in which there is only approximately one jump on average in every three cell cycles.
This reduction prohibited the occurrence of leakage and solved the problem.
We suggest a reduction in the occurrence of this species could be an important contributor to the increase in the diversity of smaller bird species.
All the antiosteoporotic agents had significant efficacy in increasing lumbar spine bone mineral density and reduction in the occurrence of any new vertebral fractures.
The range of δ56Fe values measured in the groundwater suggests microbial Fe(III) reduction and the occurrence of isotopic exchange between Fe(II)aq and FeS precipitation.
We speculate that the loss of AANAT1a in PM may lead to a reduction in the occurrence of myopia (through higher retinal-dopamine levels) which would facilitate aerial vision, a selective advantage for PM which spends most (over two-third) of its lifetime on the mudflat surface.
In computer aided diagnosis (CAD) tools searching for colonrectal polyps and based on three dimensions virtual colonoscopy (3DVC) using computed tomography (CT) images, the reduction of the occurrence of false-positives (FPs) still represents a challenge because they are source of unreliability.
