The CombAT study includes only men at increased risk for progression of BPH due to a prostate volume ≥30 mL or a PSA ≥ 1.5 ng/mL; these patients represent a subset population identified by the MTOPS Trial.
Lentiviral production was performed as described previously [ 21] and a fluorescent population identified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting.
The aims of this paper were to describe the patterns of dental visits in an adolescent population identified by cluster random sampling; and to explore whether selected socio-demographic and behavioral indicators for oral disease were associated with the dental attendance patterns of adolescents using multivariable models.
For data analyses, 30,000 events (cells) were evaluated from a predominantly leukocytic population identified by backgating from CD45+-stained cells.
In 38 of the patients, we analyzed followup PB samples that had tumor cells identified on smear and a phenotypically abnormal population identified by flow cytometry.
After collecting 100,000 total cell events, percentages of marker-positive (CD4+, CD8+, and DP) thymocytes in the implant samples were determined by first gating on a live lymphoid cell population identified by forward- and side-scatter characteristics and then by CD3 expression.
We have previously shown high levels of correlation between the presence of an abnormal T-cell population identified by this flow cytometry panel and the presence of morphologically identifiable tumor cells on examination of the smear [ 4].
Non-parietal cells in the population, identified by an abundant sub-plasma membrane actin staining, showed a juxta-nuclear staining pattern for GM130, typical for the Golgi ribbon of mammalian cells.
Other well-known predictors for delirium in the general ICU population identified by a recent large systematic review [26] seem to have no significant influence on the development of delirium in the context of BSI, such as altered level of consciousness, or surgery.
In the context of this paper, a medical mission refers to a short trip of 1 day to 2 years by a healthcare professional to a LMIC to provide direct medical care to the population at large, or to a particular subset of the population identified by their particular health need, age group, or cultural group.
