All of the studies with low impact on advancing knowledge had null study results, no publications and were mostly led by inexperienced researchers and practitioners.
Therefore, the study results should advance our understanding of internal and external contextual factors that influence population-policy decision-making.
The advances of proteomic technologies and promising study results have fed the hope to obtain biomarkers for improved and faster diagnostics.
Sample size for this study was determined in advance by power calculations based on the previous pilot study results (Effect size = 0.70) [ 24].
Studies comparing advanced cholesterol results like the LDL cholesterol particle number to the standard panels show a superiority in diagnosing and predicting heart events.
The ADVANCE study, besides focusing on the results of intensive glycemic control, also assessed the effects of routine administration of an ACE inhibitor/diuretic combination on vascular events in 11,140 individuals with type 2 diabetes (38).
Although very recent studies have identified and characterized hESC-derived populations with SMC potential [13], [14], identified bioactive agents involved in their SMC differentiation, and evaluated their functionality, our study advance these results in several ways.
Therefore, the present study confirmed and advanced previous results (13) by showing that increased aortic stiffness added prognostic information over standard risk factors and may be considered a valuable biomarker of cardiovascular disease risk in type 2 diabetic individuals.
The interaction between stemness characteristics and EMT expression has advanced results in recent studies.
Today, a study in Science Advances synthesizes results from Manaus with those from similar experiments worldwide, confirming what scientists have long suspected: no matter the ecosystem — forest, prairie, patch of moss — the effects of habitat fragmentation are ruinous.
