The association between the susceptibility to antifungal compounds and the origin of M. pachydermatis, from skin with or without lesions has been also assessed.
Interestingly, the median KJOC score change from baseline following conservative or surgical treatment was significantly lower in the injured athletes than in those without lesions.
In our study, the group with injuries had a significantly lower mean subglottic aspiration pressure than in the group without lesions.
However, paired comparisons (with versus without lesions at the tip of the leaf) for the base, middle, and tip areas of rank 2 leaves indicated that lesions effects on photosynthesis were localized only to the area of the lesion (tip).
The active contour models were applied to USG images without lesions and to those showing specific disease units, namely, anatomical changes like folds and turns of the gallbladder as well as polyps and gallstones.
The included CT scans had mainly been performed to assess leg vasculature (CT angiogram) or to evaluate a tibial plateau fracture without previous history of knee problem and without lesions in the distal femur.
Takahashi et al. [44] measured presumptive mucopolysaccharides in white matter lesions and in white matter without lesions and compared the presumptive MPS/Cr ratios before and after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) [44].
They found a reduction in mucopolysaccharides in white matter without lesions after the BMT; they also found a correlation between mucopolysaccharide accumulation and neuronal damage resulting in a decreased NAA/Cr ratio [44].
There were no significant differences between patients with lesions on the MDCT and those without, except mean subglottic aspiration pressure was unexpectedly higher in the group without lesions (p = 0.002) (Table 5).
In a retrospective study of patients with unexplained infertility Akande et al. [19] found that when these patients had minimal or mild endometriosis, which was left untreated, the time to natural conception was significantly prolonged in comparison with patients without lesions.
OCT negative scans without lesions confirming the status as M1 were sent back for re-grading of the original image (see Fig. 1 for clinical pathway for R1/M1 patients).
