With regard to measurement of rapid weight gain, some studies have suggested that change in weight-for-length Z-score between assessment and birth may give a better reflection of rapid weight change but because we did not collect birth length we could not perform these analyses.
The time of measurement in some cases raises doubt about their acceptability as true reflection of birth weight of these infants.
Protests against the bloodshed in Gaza have attracted much smaller numbers than in previous conflicts, in a reflection of the diminishing weight of the "peace camp" in Israeli society.
38 39 Macrosomic infants, on the other hand, may be a reflection of excessive maternal weight gain, gestational diabetes, or prolonged gestation.
The table confirms that the required changes are a direct reflection of the subgroups' weights, with (in the Ward solution), Very High Lifers (86% weight to Loss of Lifetime) requiring a 1% improvement, and Moderate Lifers (42% weight) an 8% improvement.
The observed immunostained bands of differing kDa are a reflection of the molecular weights of GvpC breakdown products; other associated degradation resistant gas vesicle structural proteins also would be expected and if still integrated with GvpC, would affect its migration in gels [ 9].
As with fasting, the reduction in plasma leptin could largely be a reflection of the reduction in adipose weight, as well as plasma insulin.
Importantly, this finding held even after excluding the first 2 years of follow-up, implying that it is not solely a reflection of early cancer symptoms (tiredness, weight loss) being interpreted as signs of psychological distress.
There was no correlation between the age at presentation and the clinical outcome of the patients; however, there was a suggestion that low birth weight, a reflection of intrauterine insulin secretion, was a prognostic marker: two of the three patients who died within the first 13 months of life as a result of severe IPEX syndrome were born with severe intrauterine growth retardation.
The Cockcroft Gault equation is heavily influenced by weight as a reflection of lean body mass, which is not applicable to cirrhotic patients, in whom edema and ascites may account for a moderate and in some patients, even a substantial proportion of their weight [ 10, 26, 30, 31].
