Considering that women are fertile just six days per menstrual cycle and men are fertile every single day, that the burden of avoiding unwanted pregnancy falls to us, regardless of the burden that might have on our health and wellbeing, is nothing short of sexism.
Regardless of the burden, people had to equip themselves, even if they might never have any need to use that equipment.
M&E system performance generally shows improvements over time among all LMICs regardless of HIV burden (Table 5).
The women who were still breastfeeding at the time our results were made available were already beyond the first months of breastfeeding and may have been more likely to continue breastfeeding regardless of body burden results.
The PHQ-9 and PHQ-2 AUC values were highest for participants with less than three comorbidities (0.93 and 0.92, respectively), whereas the AUC for the 15-item GDS was similar regardless of comorbidity burden.
On the other hand, if a negative synergistic effect occurs where each additional dollar spent leads to proportionally smaller results, the optimal strategy would be to spread funding across cancers more equitably, regardless of societal burden.
Second, drug-drug and gene-environment (lifestyle) interactions may override the genetic determinants of medication response: for example, in the DPP an intensive lifestyle intervention benefits all participants regardless of genetic burden [ 70], and it is possible that higher pharmacological doses may simply overcome the modest resistance induced by genetics.
In addition, we assumed that the metabolic biotransformation rate of the PCBs was constant over time regardless of body burden or age (Czub and McLachlan 2004), and we used default settings for all other model parameters (Breivik et al. 2010) [for details, including dietary and physiochemical parameters, see Supplemental Material, text and Table 1 (doi:10.1289/ehp.1002415)].
The difference is notable for both ambulatory and hospitalized cases but not so much for DHF, where the severity of the condition presumably means that the treatment protocols have to be followed in full, regardless of the burden on the system.
Increasing evidence supports the observation that immune cell infiltration in the tumour microenvironment is a strong parameter influencing clinical outcome, regardless of tumour burden (Naito et al, 1998; Pages et al, 2005, 2008; Galon et al, 2006; Camus et al, 2009; Halama et al, 2009; Salama et al, 2009; Mlecnik et al, 2011; Tosolini et al, 2011).
Objective burden must be considered independently of subjective burden, since caregivers' mental state can alter their perception of their personal burden, regardless of their actual burden [10].
