For many meeting attendees, the unusual study heightened serious doubts about the mechanism and effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), an experimental, noninvasive treatment that uses electrodes to deliver weak current to a person's forehead, and the related tACS, which uses alternating current.
Pending the results of these studies, heightened vigilance is needed before any distribution of new equipment, with CE marking but lacking evaluation of risk-benefit and cost-benefit ratios.
In 1997, three decades later, the Nun Study heightened interest in mixed dementia, by showing additive effects of AD and VBI on risk of dementia [ 7].
In the current study, heightened circulating anti-HER2 CD4+ Th1 immune responses correlate strongly with pCR; conversely, the association of an anti-HER2 Th1 immune deficit with non-pCR warranted a search for therapeutic strategies that might correct this deficit.
A 1999 study heightened long-standing concerns over persistent organic pollutant contamination in the Aral Sea area, detecting elevated levels in breast milk and cord blood of women in Karakalpakstan (western Uzbekistan).
The interest in this study is heightened by the appreciation in recent years of non-membrane-bound cellular structures that may be regulated sites of specialized biochemistry or storage.
The results in this study show a heightened perception of crime that is both proximal and distal.
The time-sequence of profile data was used to construct digital elevation models (DEMs); a method designed for this study to achieve heightened spatial accuracy relative to two-dimensional profile comparisons that often ignore measurement inconsistency.
Now, a field study heightens scientists' concerns by showing that acidification has widespread effects on an ecosystem.
Especially in an environment where aggression and territoriality may be heightened (this study), established neighbor relationships may be particularly important in mediating aggression and making mating decisions.
