The layout of the intervention site can influence responsiveness to point-of-choice interventions.
That signal comes only in the presence of patience, warmth, sympathy, physical responsiveness, and a disinclination to point out how damn long you've been waiting.
Polymorphisms in the gene coding for the β1-ADR produce AD susceptibility by changing the cell responsiveness to adrenergic stimulation 16 pointing to a predominant role of this noradrenergic receptor in AD.
The NEECHAM total score is calculated by adding the scores for the three subscales, and ranges from 0 (minimal responsiveness) to 30 (normal function) points.
Also in the LU group, progesterone levels were positively associated with accuracy in the affective responsiveness task, pointing to better performance with higher progesterone levels.
One exciting, possible application of TMS in a paroxysmal disorder such as migraine is to define surrogate end points for responsiveness to specific therapeutic interventions.
First, this study was a cross-sectional, so responsiveness to changes at different time points could not be assessed.
Encouraging results to this effect have been seen in an earlier study where the use of intensified platelet inhibition with the GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor tirofiban was shown to improve significantly outcomes in patients who had poor responsiveness to clopidogrel as determined using point-of-care platelet function testing [ 40].
Measurement of pS2 and Apo D in nipple aspirates may prove useful intermediate end point of breast responsiveness to anti-oestrogens.
However, painDETECT has generally been used as a screening tool at a single time point, since its responsiveness to change over time or with treatment has not been adequately evaluated.
Intertumour heterogeneity in responsiveness to chemotherapy is represented as a two-point distribution, with one point anchored at log kill=zero.
