For example, increased baseline pain sensitivity in CTH sufferers may be due to sensitization (indexed preferentially in reduced tolerance and increased supra-threshold response), while stress may aggravate the increased pain sensitivity through reducing threshold to noxious input from the periphery, and increasing supra-threshold response.
As surrogates for insulin sensitivity, HOMA and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were calculated, as well as the insulin sensitivity index according to Gutt (ISI0,120), all as described and recommended previously [ 14].Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was calculated by the Devereux formula indexed to body surface area [ 15].
Insulin sensitivity as indexed by the HOMA value in our community-based data shows strong links to deficits in speech production.
Against this background, in the present community-based study of elderly men and women, we aimed to examine, by using linear regression models, whether cognitive functions are linked to fluctuations in fasting insulin sensitivity, as indexed by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) (9).
In the entire database of MANTIS, the controlled vocabulary Sensitivity and Specificity was indexed only 24 times.
DLCO, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; hs-cTnT, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T; IVRT; isovolemic relaxation time (indexed to R-R interval); max, maximum; min, minimum; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; WU, Wood units.
The sensitivity of 13 parameters related to stream flow and SWAT was indexed and those highly ranked parameters were selected for calibrating the model.
Second, a small but significant positive correlation was observed between general anxiety as indexed by the PAS-R completed by the parents and anxiety sensitivity as assessed during a brief interview with the children (r = .25, p < .001), which indicates that there was some shared variance among these two anxiety measures.
This process ensures that searchers are presented with a contained, rather than comprehensive, set of unique PubMed citations by favouring search precision over search sensitivity (the proportion of all relevant citations retrieved) within the non-indexed subset of PubMed.
