Of these, severity matters the least, reckons Mr Kleiman, and there is a trade-off: the harsher the punishment, the more legal safeguards are required to ensure it is not misapplied.
Considering these results, the presence of comorbidity does not appear to have a direct prognostic effect on mortality, and its severity matters more than the fact of its absence or presence.
Acne severity mattered, as well; those with worse cases reported greater quality of life and psychological distress.
Their numbers suggest that, despite all that financial innovation, recent years have seen a surprising period of quiet at least until the current crash.Sowing the stormThe incidence of crashes is only one measure of risk, however: their severity also matters.
There were neither significant differences in prevalence or severity (white-matter hyperintensities: total, total in periventricular regions, total deep, and deep frontal or deep parietal) between people who had a diagnosis of substance abuse or dependence and those who did not (χ ranging from 0.11 to 2.90, d.f.=1, all P>0.105; Kruskal Wallis tests, all P>0.086).
This scoring system provides an overall measure of the presence and severity of white matter, cortical grey matter, deep grey matter and cerebellar abnormalities (recorded as normal, mild, moderate, or severe).
An assessment of Betz cells revealed no relationship between the number of surviving Betz cells and the grey matter severity score, confirming that the lack of deep white matter pTDP-43 pathology in regions such as the posterior limb of the internal capsule was not due to the loss of upper motor neurons and degeneration of their axons.
In the former organolead workers, tibia lead level was associated with the prevalence and severity of white matter lesions on brain MRI, using the Cardiovascular Health Study white matter grading system (Stewart et al. 2006).
In the motor region, the severity of white matter pTDP-43 pathology linearly associated with the severity of pathology in the grey matter, consistent with similar data from the spinal cord [ 14] where the severity of pTDP-43 pathology and neuronal loss correlated closely with grey and white matter oligodendrocyte involvement, and to the onset of disease in the spinal cord.
12 Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a sensitive magnetic resonance (MR) technique that can assess the presence and severity of white matter damage after TBI. 13, 14 TBI alters the pattern of water diffusion within white matter, resulting in abnormal diffusion measures, including fractional anisotropy (FA).
Police said they had been aware of the incident at Indooroopilly station in Queensland on 2 October, but that the "severity of the matter" had only become apparent since the video was shared tens of thousands of times online.
