Baseline values refer to the initial or starting measurements or standards used as a reference point for comparison. They help us understand how things change or deviate from their original state.
Full definition
Annual blood work will help establish
baseline values for your pet and monitor on an annual basis.
Recently, it has been proposed that the nutrient quality of food has declined
from baseline values to which food has been compared for decades.
These measurement techniques can help individuals
set baseline values for body composition and goals for later on down the line.
The first 24 - hour period was used to
register baseline values including urine data, blood pressure and heart rate, and other physiological measures.
In addition, senior testing helps establish
normal baseline values for your pet, creating a point of comparison for the future.
This also gives us the opportunity to analyze and
record baseline values, such as temperature, body condition, and lab work.
Recently, it has been proposed that the nutrient quality of food has declined
from baseline values to which food has been compared for decades.
If this is your cat's first visit to a particular vet, she might want to do blood work to
establish baseline values to compare against later tests.
All of the models were first adjusted for race and SES (Model 1), and then adjusted for
baseline values of the primary outcome (i.e. adolescent physical activity or TV / video viewing) along with race and SES (Model 2).
The intervention (FR) group will have increased hip extension, compared with the control group, immediately after 1 session of foam rolling, as well as after 1 week of foam rolling, but will return to prestudy
baseline values after ceasing foam rolling for 1 week.
Our hypothesis that hip extension values in the intervention group will return to
prestudy baseline values after ceasing foam rolling for 1 week can be accepted as there is no significant change between session 3 and session 1 prelunge in the intervention group (p > 0.05).
«After the treatment and at the end of the study, the mean values of all the parameters were recovered to
near baseline values,» stated the scientist from the institution in Murcia.
Of four studies, Bai et al. [127] compared the stimulation phase and the resting phase of acupuncture stimulation and visual stimulation and found the BOLD signal returned to near -
baseline values shortly after the visual stimulus, but for acupuncture stimulation the resting phase activities might be even higher than that of the stimulation phases.
Other baseline values were adjusted to reflect fossil units that either began operation in 2012, or were under construction in 2012 or 2013
If a station has 15 or more valid temperatures in any given month for the 1951 - 1980 baseline period, retain that
monthly baseline value; otherwise drop that station / month from the computations.
Results: Compared
with baseline values, single intake of coffee with a high content of chlorogenic acids and low content of hydroxyhydroquinone, but not coffee with a high content of chlorogenic acids and high content of hydroxyhydroquinone or placebo coffee, significantly improved postprandial flow - mediated vasodilation and decreased circulating 8 - isoprostane levels.
The researchers found that the overall incidence of malaria was lower in the iron group compared with the no iron group, but after adjustment for
baseline values for iron deficiency and moderate anemia, these differences were no longer statistically significant.
Your veterinarian may also wish to perform diagnostic tests, including blood tests and / or x-rays, to evaluate your pet's health, this routine testing for younger pets can also be used to
establish baseline values, which can be used for comparison as pets age.
When fresh air was passed into the chamber, the researchers observed a 3 per cent drop in cilia beating frequency relative to
the baseline value.
In contrast, when air mixed with 0.5 milligrams per cubic meter of formaldehyde was passed through the chamber, they observed a 7.4 per cent increase in cilia beating frequency relative to
the baseline value.
Further increasing the formaldehyde concentration to 1 milligram per cubic meter led to a dramatic increase — up to 136.4 per cent — in cilia beating frequency relative to
the baseline value.
These researchers found no significant differences between the two age groups in the number or severity of sports - related concussion symptoms or in the amount of time it took for the athletes» concussion symptoms to return to
baseline values.
Following one week of treatment withdrawal, these improvements disappeared and reverted to
baseline values.
In this example, the standard deviation of the firing rate for a given value of θ increases with increasing firing rate from
a baseline value, although the particular form of noise chosen does not qualitatively affect our results.
After about 48 and 72 hours, even though the satellite cells and the myostatin levels got back to
their baseline values in the group that ate more protein, the levels remained lower for a longer period in the group that ate less protein.
In comparison with
baseline values, daily consumption of amla fruit powder led to a significant decrease in blood glucose values after 21 days across all subjects.
The persuasive analysis indicated that administration of choline supplements to healthy elderly adults led to a spectacular four-fold improvement in serum GH levels, in contrast to
baseline values.
By contrast, although the strength training group of men exhibited a similar rise in cortisol at week 8, their cortisol levels declined to
baseline values by the end of the trial.
After an intense training bout, muscle protein synthesis increases for upwards of three days and then returns to
baseline values.
The researchers also speculated that because at the 5 - h post meal the SIRT expression levels had not returned to
baseline values that consecutive high - fat meals in one day or consecutive days may result in long periods of decreased SIRT1 and SIRT6 and increase in SIRT4 activity that would contribute to systemic inflammation, obesity, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
These reductions in alertness and performance were relatively minor in terms of percentage of
the baseline values; in the performance of difficult tasks (e.g., driving a car or flying an airplane), however, even such minor impairments might have significant consequences.
The state's 15 - year goal is to cut in half the gap between
the baseline values for 2017 and 100 percent proficiency.
In fact, the correlation between principals» ratings and experience - adjusted value - added measures is no higher than the correlation with
our baseline value - added measures.
