The specific objective was to investigate the influence of different variables monitored and patients' health status descriptors, like SOFA or presence of sepsis, on the PK of propofol.
The covariates entered into the outcome treatment equation were: age mechanical ventilation status, APACHE III score and its square, patient surgical status and the interaction with ventilation status, descriptors of ICU admission primary organ system dysfunction.
15 In this analysis, breathlessness intensity was not predicted by the dominant aetiology of breathlessness, gender, functional status nor descriptors of the breathlessness.
This experiment used a scenario adapted from Chiappe and colleagues (2004), where the moral status of the behavioral descriptors was made explicit by using the words "cheaters" or "cooperators".
Experiments 1 and 2 used a financial encoding scenario and revealed an enhanced recognition of prosocial faces when the moral status of the behavioral descriptors tagged to faces was not explicit (e.g., the words "cooperators" and "cheaters" were absent and rules of social contract were not stated).
Using ordinary least square regression model adjusted for health state descriptors, disutility due to severe problems, ethnicity, gender, age, marital status, education level, religion and house type (see Methods section).
The financial scenario in experiments 1 and 2 was adapted from one of the scenarios used by Chiappe and colleagues [30] where the rules of the social contract and correspondent moral status were added to the descriptors tagged to faces.
The experiments described here use three different recognition tasks (modified yes-no, four-alternative forced-choice and "classical" recall) to examine the extent to which face recognition can be affected by different encoding scenarios and related moral status (referred to as behavioral descriptors), when the number of prosocial and antisocial faces to be encoded is the same.
Despite this, single, double and triple blinding are terms commonly and singularly used to report blinding status without the accompaniment of descriptors indicating who was indeed blinded [ 36- 38].
For instance, MP could be integrated as descriptor of environmental status in the WFD.
The concept of vulnerability is a descriptor of the status of a society or community with respect to an imposed hazard or threat.
