Panel B shows an example of fitting with a level II model, including a subpopulation of cells resistant to treatment (dashed line).
It is difficult to be certain whether this represents a genuine problem as only 6 studies reported pre-treatment DASH scores, although all showed comparatively low values.
Patients randomised to intervention are indicated by continuous lines and patients randomised to standard treatment by dashed lines.
The maximum cross-sectional area reduction is markedly lower in the treatment group (dashed lines, p = 0.003).
Black continuous arrows represent the direction of the applied magnetic field HTT during the thermal treatment, while dashed arrows represent the applied field direction (HSQUID) during magnetic measurements.
The primary objective of this study is to examine the effect of operative versus non-operative treatment on the DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) score, reflecting functional outcome and pain of the upper extremity, in adult patients who sustained a humeral shaft fracture.
Figure 2 Seasonal changes in predawn needle water potential for (a), the well-watered (line) and summer drought (dash) treatments, and (b), early-season drought (line) and late-season drought (dash) treatments.
Therefore, at the time of treatment change (vertical dashed black line in Fig. 2D), total virus has been decreased and mutants that confer resistance to the maintenance therapy (red line, dark grey shaded area in Fig. 2D) are likely to be eradicated, which improves the probability to achieve durable virological suppression with the maintenance therapy.
If protective dash treatments or waxes were used in the past, they will need to be removed before the application process can begin.
Patient and fracture characteristics, treatment, validated outcome (Quick DASH) at 3 months after injury were determined.
