word sets- Blood tests were normal with the exception of a slightly raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
- Data in the Table show that the scan score correlated significantly with all laboratory measurements except the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
- Olivine and plagioclase continue to crystallize in the upper layer until critical concentrations are again reached and another pulse of sedimentation occurs.
- Simultaneously, sedimentation occurred at the base, as in previous experiments, so the mean concentration decreased with time.
- The sedimentation rate is elevated in 90-95 % of these patients and when above 50 Westergren helps confirm the diagnosis.
- The scan score correlated with all laboratory tests generally accepted to reflect active gut inflammation except for the erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
- There is also the very obvious repeated control of certain forms of sedimentation by climatic factors.
- These criticisms include major ecological changes, reservoir sedimentation and the uprooting of large numbers of people.
