A summary of participant numbers in each sampling group stratified according to gender of baby, gestational age at birth, gravidity and parity, is shown in Table 1.> -wrap-foot> aThe gestational age at birth is shown as a range of weeks (wk) and days (d).
The study drug was given for a minimum of 2 wks or until ICU discharge (for subjects with ICU lengths of stay >2 wks) up to a total of 6 wks (42 days) postrandomization.The cumulative number of units of RBCs transfused was significantly less in the rHuEPO group than in the placebo group (p<.002, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test).
Gestational ages are expressed as weeks (wks) + days (d).
Mon-Fri afternoons, 3 hrs per day, 5 days per wk.
The animals were euthanized at different times after surgery (4 days, 1 wk, 2 wks, and 3 wks; n = 10 animals/time point).
In addition to the morphological analysis of the islets, gene expression profiles of the pancreatic islet were analyzed using laser capture microdissection and were compared with real-time RT-PCR of db/db and nondiabetic m/m mice treated with or without pioglitazone for 2 wk or 2 days.
A progressive contraction of the gestational age groups resulted in marked reductions in the PMR for deaths at < 28 days (22 wks 11.0; 24 wks 7.7; 28 wks 5.6); and similarly for deaths at < 7 days (20 wks 15.6, 22 wks 10.5; 24 wks 7.3; 28 wks 5.3).
The DSS alone group was given 2% DSS in drinking water for 7 days (from wk 1 to wk 2), and was then maintained on basal diet and tap water.
REE was measured on two separate days during wk 0 and again at wk 10, whereas postprandial energy expenditure (PPEE) was measured only once during wk 0 and once during wk 10, following a REE measurement.
In the spine fusion animal model, Ni Ming et al. applied teriparatide 4 μg/kg per day and teriparatide 23 μg/kg per day subcutaneous injections for 4 weeks (5 days per wk) after the spine fusion surgery in the rat model.
Samples were taken from 8 cows (4 cows/diet) on 2 consecutive days in wk 2 of the covariate and wk 3, 6, 10, and 12 of treatment and analyzed for volatile fatty acids, ammonia-N, methanogens, and protozoa.
