(1) But she says she is totally convinced that, as a public broadcaster, RAI has an ethical responsibility to start showing women in a more realistic light.
(2) The natural killer (NK) activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and lymphocytes with the capacity to form stable rosettes with neuraminidase-treated sheep red blood cells (E+) was studied in 28 previously untreated patients (11 at stage 0, 10 at stage I and 7 at stages II and III, according to Rai's classification) and 7 treated patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), all of them at stage 0 according to Rai's classification after treatment, and in 15 healthy controls.
(3) Fibromyalgia patients reported significantly higher levels of learned helplessness, assessed according to a rheumatology attitudes index (RAI), than patients with all other diseases, and scleroderma patients showed significantly lower RAI scores (P less than 0.05).
(4) RAI scanning is necessary postoperatively to determine the completeness of the surgical procedure and to detect residual or metastatic disease.
(5) As critics of Mr Berlusconi have been barred from the state broadcaster Radiotelevisione Italia, Mr Fo protests that artists are being "defenestrated" metaphorically from the RAI for the same reasons that leftwing dissidents were literally thrown out of police station windows in the 1970s when Mr Fo wrote his work Accidental Death of an Anarchist.
(6) The RAI indicates that our level is that of a developed country.
(7) The validity of the RAI was established in comparisons to the Arthritis Helplessness Index.
(8) The performances have also beaten viewing records at Rai Due public television, with audience shares of up to 15%.
(9) All patients had evidence of active disease, and the majority had advanced Rai stages.
(10) We conclude that even at early stages in the disease (12 patients were Rai stage 0 patients) when the total serum immunoglobulin levels are still near normal, the B cells respond poorly to B cell mitogens.
(11) The 5 tests performed were radioactive iodine uptake (RAI) at 2 and 24 hours, serum protein-bound iodine (PBI), thyroxine iodine by column, triiodothyronine absorption test, and serum cholesterol.
(12) Ninety-four percent of patients were in Rai stage III or IV with extensive marrow infiltration, massive splenomegaly, and cytopenias refractory to chemotherapy.
(13) Cholesterol and RAI determinations were extremely variable precluding any evidence of drug effect.
(14) These results rais the possibility that the carbodiimide-reactive protein may be present as an oligomer in the energy-transducing complex.
(15) Taking into account the value of the TTM score, patients of the intermediate risk group (stage II of Rai et al.)
(16) An empirical comparison of the proposed procedure to that of Rai and Van Ryzin demonstrates the improvement that can be achieved with the new procedure.
(17) During the same time, 303 patients received RAI therapy for Graves' disease and one (0.3%) has subsequently developed thyroid carcinoma.
(18) Discordant results (increased serum hormone levels and a low RAI) are found either in the usual forms of hyperthyroidism when large quantities of iodide are ingested, or in atypical forms of hyperthyroidism, including spontaneously resolving hyperthyroidism of subacute thyroiditis, thyrotoxicosis factitia, toxic struma ovarii, and functioning metastatic thyroid cancer.
(19) In one of these, the administration of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) resulted in an appropriate increase in 24 hour RAI uptake from 14.9 to 37.1 per cent.
(20) In accordance with Rai's staging system the patients were distributed as follows: 0.29%; I, 20%; II, 25%; III, 13%; IV, 13%, and according to Binet's staging the distribution was: A, 55%; B, 21%; C, 24%.
