Suspect conclusions derived from suspect studies are increasingly common.
My reckoning is that cries for more responsible journalism should be focused less on the lay press and more on the medical journals that publish scientifically suspect studies.
And one wonders what all of this says about the much-lauded peer-review process, where academics are responsible for ensuring poorly conducted or suspect studies do not make it to publication.
But until then, I have to place it in a big bin of suspect studies "done by people out to prove something rather than investigate something," as the evolutionary biologist Michael Eisen said in a late update to my previous post on this work.
If these unheralded cells are as important as the authors suspect, studying them may open the door to new therapies for some forms of blindness.
For all suspected study events, adjudicators judged the following: size of fracture gap, re-operation planned or unplanned, appropriateness of re-operation, and whether it was a study event.
Regardless of suspected cause, adverse events were collected for 30 days following the last treatment and any suspected study drug-related toxicities at the 30 day follow-up visit were followed until resolution to baseline or ≤Grade 2 or stabilization of the event.
For example, the government showed that three suspects studied targets in Nairobi before the blast and developed photographs in a tiny apartment after cloaking the windows with blankets.
A team of agents dispatched by the FBI to Germany has been focusing on the northern city of Hamburg, where three of the men who died in the planes and four others who were on the FBI's initial list of suspects studied at universities.
The absence of female reactor in this study could probably be due to the smaller number of female (n=4) brucellosis suspects studied as compared to males (n=237).
Given the different grading practices as well as the sorting across majors, we may also suspect that study times vary across courses taken in these major categories as well.
