On the other hand, nurseries are considered intensive agricultural systems, responsible for soil erosion, waste production, and soil, air and water pollution.
Although making 5 CHW visits may be considered intensive, preliminary results indicate it was feasible.
Whether a mean of 22.0 and 16.6 h of treatment over a 4-week period is considered intensive in a subacute phase after stroke remains to be explored.
Although the 5 CHW visits in the HFS intervention package may be considered intensive, preliminary results indicate that the large majority of women received the full number of scheduled visits and that the schedule did not compromise worker performance.
For this purpose we divided the patients who were considered failures of intensive medical therapy into 2 groups: those who underwent surgery ≤ and >5 days after the initiation of intensive medical therapy.
This is also consistent with the notion that some of these patients were selected since they had more advanced disease and were considered for more "intensive conditioning" within the RIC spectrum.
Nevertheless, we want to point out a selection bias in this analysis due to the fact that only patients in good clinical condition were considered for this intensive treatment with high dose cisplatin during RT.
Seventeen patients (71%) were considered ineligible for intensive chemotherapy, because of old age (>75 years) (n = 5), concomitant disease (n = 6), or adverse cytogenetics in patients >60 years of age (n = 8).
Surprisingly, patients classified as ASA II (but not ASA III) were considered less care-intensive than patients classified as ASA I. Furthermore, partly or totally dependent patients were perceived as less care-intensive than independent patients (β-0.44; p = 0.004, and β-1.79; p < 0.001).
Frequently, they were considered as sign for intensive landscape domestication by way of sedentary agriculture and as sign for large settlements in pre-Columbian Amazonia.
