Clearance. Plasma clearance, about 2.5 ml/min/kg in normal subjects decreased to about 1 ml/min/kg in patients with cardiac disease. 

In their study, Ribbing and Jonsson found that when only one covariate was in the model, 80% power was achieved with (i) 20 subjects having three samples per subject and high correlation ( 0.85) between covariate and pharmacokinetic parameter, (ii) 100 subjects having three samples per subject and medium correlation ( 0.50) between covariate and pharmacokinetic parameter, and (iii) 300 subjects having three samples per subject and low correlation ( 0.15) between covariate and pharmacokinetic parameter. They also found that selection bias increased when the number of subjects decreased. In other words, the estimated value of the parameter relating the covariate to the pharmacokinetic parameter of interest was overestimated as the... 

FO-approximation as the amount of data per subject decreases. This data set was fairly sparse with most subjects having about two samples per subject. It would be expected that the methods would produce fairly different estimates but this was not the case. All methods generated roughly the same parameter estimates indicating that the model was fairly robust to choice of estimation algorithm. 

A retrospective study found that 28 of 32 subjects (88%) who took LSD and who had taken an SSRI or trazodone for more than 3 weeks had a subjective decrease or virtuai eiimination of their... 

When a subject is suddenly strained and then the strain is maintained constant afterward, the corresponding stresses induced in the subject decrease with time, this phenomenon is called stress relaxation. If the subject is suddenly stressed and then the stress is maintained afterwards, the subject continues to deform, this phenomenon is called creep. Creep and stress relaxation are another two important phenomena in the arterial viscoelasiticity. Langewouters et al [46] studied the creep responses of human thoracic and abdominal aortic segments. The pressure in the...
