Indeed the ouabain-sensitive proportion of extracellular K+ ion clearance was reduced by HS suggesting either that HS somehow rendered membrane-bound Na+/K+ ATPase less sensitive to ouabain or that HS was acting via a different mechanism such as glial buffering via inwardly rectifying K+ channels.
Cellular respiratory control was calculated as the ratio of FCCP-stimulated and oligomycin-inhibited mitochondrial respiratory rates [20], and coupling efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation was defined as the oligomycin-sensitive proportion of mitochondrial respiration [20].
MTBDR assay showed similar results except one discrepancy i.e., one isolate was resistant to rifampicin that was sensitive in proportion method.
Cost differences were sensitive to proportion of terminated pregnancies, sample throughput, individual choice and performance of tests in one laboratory, but not to failure rate or the exclusion of polluted samples.
Total screening and diagnostic costs were US$ 26.19 million, the cost per diabetes case diagnosed being US$766. Results were especially sensitive to proportion of individuals returning for diagnostic confirmation.
Though less sensitive, the proportion of the reference population with growth disturbing factors will also affect the predicted birth weight, except in the unlikely situation where pathological restriction is balanced by pathological acceleration.
As pneumonia is frequently used to indicate the quality of nursing care, [ 7, 24, 42] and the results of our earlier Delphi study [ 28] prioritised subgroups of pneumonia as nursing-sensitive outcomes, proportions and rates of three subgroups were calculated.
It should be expected that all indices would be sensitive to the proportion of cases sampled φ when this proportion is low, but it would be desirable for an index to become insensitive to φ beyond a certain value.
As indicated in the one-way sensitivity analysis, the results of cost-effectiveness were sensitive to the proportion of patients with unresectable disease after a direct laparotomy.
The organisers are sensitive to the proportion of female delegates, but the percentage of women at the strictly invitation-only event stands at only 18% this year.
This suggests that the mobility was more sensitive to the proportion of fine sand when more gravel was involved.
