Treatments to determine factors

The results were promising enough to suggest that a prospective study is warranted. Such a study would carefully collect all hematologic factors as well as use validated tools for determining ulcer size and appearance. In addition, collecting wound fluid before, during, and after treatment to determine the effect on chronic inflammatory mediators would be useful. Research into effects at the molecular level may be useful. 

To determine how the height of a theoretical plate can be decreased, it is necessary to understand the experimental factors contributing to the broadening of a solute s chromatographic band. Several theoretical treatments of band broadening have been proposed. We will consider one approach in which the height of a theoretical plate is determined by four contributions multiple paths, longitudinal diffusion, mass transfer in the stationary phase, and mass transfer in the mobile phase. 

Where activated carbon is a potential treatment technology, the first evaluation step is generally to run simple isotherms to determine feasibility. Isotherms are based on batch treatment where impurities reach equilibrium on available carbon surface. While such tests provide an indication of the maximum amount of impurity a GAC can adsorb, it cannot give definite scale up data for a GAC operation due to several factors ... 

In determining the best method of treatment, the following factors have to be considered ... 

When hematopoietic growth factors are used clinically, they can be associated with adverse effects. Very often patients who require hematopoietic growth factors are quite ill with their disease (i.e., cancer or kidney failure) or from their treatment (i.e., chemotherapy) and it is difficult to determine if a recombinant growth factor is responsible for a given side effect. Both rHuG-CSF and rHuGM-CSF are associated with mild-to-moderate... 

The temperature-factor parameter B and the scale factor k were determined by a least-squares procedure/ with observational equations set up in logarithmic form and with weights obtained from those in equation (9) by multiplying by (G (obs.))2. Since a semi-logarithmic plot of G2 (obs.)/Gf (calc.) against B showed a pronounced deviation from linearity for the last five lines, these lines were omitted from the subsequent treatments. They were much broader than the others, and apparently their intensities were underestimated. The temperature-factor parameter B was found by this treatment to have the value 1-47 A2. 

Determine type of symptoms, frequency, and exacerbating factors. Does the patient have any PD treatment-related complications Assess the patient s symptoms to determine if therapy should be adjusted or maintained, or if referral for more extensive evaluation is needed. 

Quantitative analytical treatments of the effects of mass transfer and reaction within a porous structure were apparently first carried out by Thiele (20) in the United States, Dam-kohler (21) in Germany, and Zeldovitch (22) in Russia, all working independently and reporting their results between 1937 and 1939. Since these early publications, a number of different research groups have extended and further developed the analysis. Of particular note are the efforts of Wheeler (23-24), Weisz (25-28), Wicke (29-32), and Aris (33-36). In recent years, several individuals have also extended the treatment to include enzymes immobilized in porous media or within permselective membranes. The important consequence of these analyses is the development of a technique that can be used to analyze quantitatively the factors that determine the effectiveness with which the surface area of a porous catalyst is used. For this purpose we define an effectiveness factor rj for a catalyst particle as... 

The spin Hamiltonian for the hydrogen atom will be used to determine the energy levels in the presence of an external magnetic field. As indicated in Section II.A, the treatment may be simplified if it is recognized that the g factor and the hyperfine constant are essentially scalar quantities in this particular example. An additional simplification results if the z direction is defined as the direction of the magnetic field. For this case H = Hz and Hx = Hv = 0 hence,... 

The first step in managing chronic HF is to determine the etiology or precipitating factors. Treatment of underlying disorders (e.g., anemia, hyperthyroidism) may obviate the need for treating HF. 

Counselors and therapists have to determine when the client has made sufficient progress to move into this next phase of therapy. The decision whether the client is ready to be moved from formal treatment into aftercare is determined by client progress on the treatment plan. The counselor or therapist uses clinical judgment to ascertain whether the client has made sufficient progress on the plan to warrant movement from formal treatment into aftercare and whether the client is sufficiendy stable in his or her recovery to take this next step toward autonomous recovery. The next section covers factors that counselors and therapists should consider when making the decision to graduate clients from treatment into aftercare. In addition, this chapter provides an overview of what can be expected during this final phase of treatment and therapy for professionals, and for clients and their families.
