Rather than a true functional defect, defective suppressive activity could reflect increased resistance of responder T cells to suppression or increased costimulatory activity of antigen-presenting cells (Table 2).
Spirometry is very effective at excluding a restrictive defect, but a classic restrictive pattern on spirometry does not accurately predict a true restrictive defect because it represents a true restriction in less than 60% of cases (38).
Even if an eGFR of 60 90 ml/min/1.73 m represents a true defect in glomerular filtration after the AKI, it is unclear whether this is a fixed abnormality of no clinical consequence or an abnormality that will progress to CKD and ESRD.
Nevertheless, we cannot exclude that the different response to arginine as a function of calpain-10 expression may reflect a true defect between diabetic and non-diabetic islets.
A partial thickness tear is diagnosed on ultrasound when a true defect or cleft within the tendon substance is detected in both longitudinal and transverse planes.
The percentage of patients with a decreased TLC (suggestive of a true restrictive defect) was calculated.
There are two main subtypes, a true defect that is confined to the membranous septum alone and defects that extend into the muscular septum.
To investigate whether the parapapillary choroidal microvasculature dropout (MvD) determined by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in glaucomatous eyes indicates a true perfusion defect and whether the MvD accurately represents the area of nonperfusion.
The lack of imposing talent, or even ordinary skill, was, in my father, not a defect, not a true failing, just a modest oversight in God's complicated manufactory, which did not keep me from loving him.
Despite the incident with the tree, his relationship with his father was happy and loving: The lack of imposing talent, or even ordinary skill, was, in my father, not a defect, not a true failing, just a modest oversight in God's complicated manufactory, which did not keep me from loving him.
