Symptom-sensitive (n = 33) and survival-sensitive (n = 17) treatment outcome preference segments were identified within the patient group.
Conclusions: Symptomatic congestive heart-failure patients were clustered into symptom-sensitive and survival-sensitive segments in a manner suggesting that treatment outcomes of improved symptoms were of greater importance to the majority than longer survival.
At this concentration, wild-type cells displayed approximately 40% survival and sensitive strains showed higher sensitivity relative to the wild-type strain.
Previous work with these mites has shown the median in vitro survival of sensitive mites in permethrin to be 4 hours, while in the same study median in vitro survival of resistant mites in permethrin was 15 hours.
Similar to our findings for competition, differential survival was sensitive to both sample source and sample size.
Salvage chemotherapy may be possible to prolong the survival of sensitive relapsed SCLC patients who are in good physical condition.
The malarial parasite matures faster within the mosquito at warmer temperatures, and mosquito breeding, biting and survival are sensitive to temperature, surface water and humidity [ 4].
The implications of this interaction are that direct exposure to glyphosate would favor feral resistant crop plants in weedy communities, suppressing growth and survival of sensitive varieties while increasing the representation of resistant seeds in the weed seed bank.
Among the many environmental stressors that drive adaptation, the presence of toxic chemicals--naturally derived or anthropogenic--can exert strong effects, in part through their ability to affect the survival of sensitive early developmental stages.
Fig. 1 Cell survival of TNF sensitive L929s cells following exposure to 0 300 U/mL of human TNF solutions and preincubated with 250, 50 and 10 ng/ml 99mTc-S-HYNIC CZP.
This mortality value was 4.8% higher than the mortality in years with only dzud and 7% higher than the mortality in years with only summer drought, indicating that livestock survival is more sensitive to dzud than to summer drought (Begzsuren et al. 2004).
