A consistently high breeding success was registered during the study period (productivity=1.43, SD=0.11), which was probably the result of high adult survival, adequate prey availability and mild weather conditions.
To improve survival, adequate risk stratification is needed.
The authors conclude that the docetaxel and Sm-EDTMP regimen used as consolidation in patients with bone metastases from castration-resistant prostate cancer is associated with a high biologic and symptomatic response rate, prolonged survival, adequate pain control, and acceptable adverse effects.
While the exact number of nodes to be retrieved has not been determined, survival and adequate staging are optimized by adequate nodal sampling.
Bioreactors ensure cell survival through adequate delivery of essential nutrients throughout the three-dimensional tissue engineered construct.
Irrespective of purpose wood production, increased water use, erosion control, habitat restoration, carbon sequestration or bio-energy production the benefits of farm forestry depend on tree survival and adequate growth.
Small-scale flow-through, fully recirculating, and partial reuse rearing systems were used to mimic planned future fish production, and resulted in 97% or greater survival and adequate growth (average specific growth rate between 1 and 2%) and health of rainbow trout during most rearing trials.
Generally, during metabolic stress AMPK assures cell survival maintaining adequate cellular energy balance by modulating the expression of genes involved in ATP-generating pathways through FFAs oxidation.
We agree with the reviewers that it is very well possible that sarcoma growth and survival require adequate availability of amino acids other than asparagine.
In summary, this study showed that islet graft survival and adequate metabolic control can be markedly prolonged when optimal graft function is initially achieved and suggests that PGF has a preeminent influence on long-term islet transplantation outcome.
Eligibility criteria included the following: no earlier chemotherapy or radiotherapy, Karnofsky performance (KP) status ⩾60, age ⩾18 years, predicted survival ⩾12 weeks, adequate bone marrow, liver, renal and cardiac function, adequate biliary drainage, no known brain metastases, no previous malignancy, no serious concurrent medical illness and, where applicable, approved methods of birth control.
