Instead, a strategy of monitoring contaminant surrogate parameters was being pursued.
Both fast growth and good proliferation may be surrogate parameters related to better vascularisation.
Pathophysiological surrogate parameters such as muscular microcirculation, sodium homeostasis, energy and lipid metabolism or muscular tissue elasticity can be examined.
As surrogate parameters for B max, binding potential and distribution volume have been widely used [1 4].
Since all these parameters are ultimately intended as surrogate parameters of K m, the superiority of K s seems obvious.
A strategy of monitoring of surrogate parameters was chosen instead of measuring potential contaminants directly, an approach that is not cost effective or operationally practical.
As a preface to specific discussion of the use of data driven analyses, it is useful to consider the application of surrogate parameters.
Most body-worn devices that report calories estimate energy expenditure by measuring one or more surrogate parameters, most commonly some form of motion.
Two-dimensional (2D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) can be used to evaluate RV function using surrogate parameters due to complex RV geometry.
Over the course of time, these indices and surrogate parameters of pulmonary gas exchange were constantly more impaired in ARDS patients with NRBC levels above 220/µl compared to ARDS patients with NRBC counts below that threshold.
However, the routinely PCR detection of resistance genes as surrogate parameters for antibiotic resistance is practicable.
