Multivariate analysis using Cox's proportional hazard model indicated that FIGO staging (P = 0.038), differentiation (P = 0.007) and REG4 expression (P = 0.006) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival of the patients with ovarian cancer (Table 3); whereas patient age, remnant foci size, pathological classification or serum CA-125 levels were not (P > 0.05; Table 3).
Of all these parameters, only REG4 expression was found to be an independent prognostic factor of relapse-free survival of the patients with ovarian cancer (P = 0.013), while patient age, pathological classification, degree of differentiation, remnant foci size, serum CA-125 level and FIGO staging were not (P > 0.05, Table 3).
But it won't be long at all before the nature of these earnings releases changes on a fundamental level — after all, Microsoft announced back in September that it would acquire the entirety of Nokia's Devices and Services business for $7.2 billion in a deal that'll close in early 2014, so we'll eventually see the remnants of Nokia focusing on its network and HERE Maps segments.
Microtus foci are remnants of this expansion.
Furthermore, whenever the dead cells formed larger foci, their remnants were replaced by a subsequent proliferation of fibrotic tissue that resulted in interstitial fibrosis.
Biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes in Australia should maintain a focus on the remnant vegetation components; however, our results suggest that there is the potential for enhancing plant biodiversity and ecological functioning by targeted management in modified grassland communities.
Theoretical and applied research on the ecological consequences of deforestation has focused on the remnants of habitat in relative isolation, but recent thinking has theorized more realistic conditions in which the areas of altered habitat are not completely destroyed, in which they recover and the connectivity of the landscape changes, and in which disturbance regimes play a role.
Unfortunately, the Cusack and Wolfe (2007) study was focused on the remnants of the WGD event and used very long distances between some of the genes in the phylogeny, with d s > 1, reducing the reliability of the d n/d s estimates.
Gather up whatever remnants of energy you have to FOCUS and find the car".
In clinical practice, however, patients with clear disease foci or significant thyroid remnants but undetectable serum Tg levels despite negative TgAb test results are occasionally encountered (31, 32, 33).
