CONCLUSIONS: The use of a radiolabeled tracer has potential value to monitor drug delivery and estimate the effect of an intervention aimed to increase liposomal accumulation, such as local hyperthermia.
In addition, Steiner and MacKay (2001) proposed exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) control chart based on the conditional expected value to monitor the bond strength values which are censored under the competing risk variable.
The responses to the questionnaire showed that half (50%) of the radiographers were aware of the existence of a dose indicator on the equipment and used its displayed value to monitor the dose to the patient following the mammography procedure.
Nevertheless, it may well be of value to monitor the effectiveness of such treatment-acquired immunity in relation to mass chemotherapy control programmes over space and time.
In contrast to these previous studies, our data shows that these calcium binding fluorophores can also be of considerable value to monitor and quantify osteomyelitis related bone remodelling, specifically the mineralization of the periosteal elevation [ 6].
An effective imaging strategy for assessing tumor vascularity would also be of value to monitor "anti-angiogenesis" drugs that aim to halt cancer progression by suppressing the tumor blood supply.
The decrease occurred even in patients with failed therapy indicating that cell count is not a useful value to monitor the efficacy of antifungal therapy with regard to mortality).
On the basis that it was still of value to monitor the potential effects of implementation of the NHS Health Check programme and to estimate the value of additional lifestyle support, we decided to proceed with a modified trial whereby patients were randomised to groups within practices, accepting the potential losses of attribution to treatment and to statistical power that this would entail.
Carotid doppler, a non invasive and easy-to-use method, has shown excellent predictive values to monitor fluid responsiveness after passive leg raising (2).
Acid value, density, kinematic viscosity (KV), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results for methyl esters were analyzed for a period of 12 months and were compared with the initial values to monitor the changes in the quality of methyl esters.
