For non-fatal myocardial infarction, a positive trend was observed, though it did not reach statistical significance (HR for T3 vs.

Although the experiment setup did not closely mimic the simulation scenario of nerve stimulation, a positive trend in increasing muscle activity was confirmed for the second order modified electrode which was consistent with simulated input-output curves of Figure 8 .

While there is noticeably a positive trend of higher predicted concentration when the actual concentration is higher, it is worth noting that the predicted concentration reached its peak at 1.0 ppm (3.2 μM) for AFB1 and 1.2 ppm (3.77 μM) for ZEN.

This is a steady increase in the prevalence rate of about 168-200 per 100,000 hospitalization rates with a much higher and steeper rise in prevalence among the male population with a statistically significant difference; however, both genders did show a positive trend.
