Our overview incorporated evidence from a spectrum of study designs including RCTs, NRCTs, CBAs, cohort studies and a case-control study to ensure maximum ascertainment of evidence in the field.
To facilitate thinking about specific benefits in relation to a spectrum of study types our guidelines will distinguish between four types of studies 1) clinical trials; 2) sampling only involving no intervention; 3) observational studies involving no sampling or interventions; and 4) interview only studies.
"We believe a well-rounded science and technology curriculum is based on a broad spectrum of study, including fields not traditionally linked with the military," Marks says.
Similar to other gastropods such as the marine snail Aplysia californica (A. californica) and the terrestrial snail Helix aspersa, L. stagnalis has served successfully as a model for a wide spectrum of studies in molecular, cellular, and behavioral neurobiology.
To that end, the March/April issue of the AJRA encompasses a broad spectrum of studies offering novel perspectives on a variety of allergy and rhinology related topics.
This work will enable a wider spectrum of studies focused on microbe-host interactions and serve as a means of integrating other omics sets in systems biology.
As one of the most important earthquakes in the history of seismology, the 2011 M 9 Tohoku-Oki earthquake enables a broad spectrum of studies of the physics of devastating subduction earthquake giants.
Taken together, we review a broad spectrum of studies that highlight the importance of the core promoter and its pivotal role in the regulation of metazoan gene expression and suggest future research directions and challenges.
We provide a detailed description of the distinct methods used in articles referenced or classified as "time motion studies", and conclude that currently it is used not only to define the original technique, but also to describe a broad spectrum of studies whose only common factor is the capture and/or analysis of the duration of one or more events.
A convenience sample of eight practices in the network were selected to represent a spectrum of characteristics to be studied: practice type (academic, private, CHC), practice size (solo, 2-5 providers, >5 providers), and type of medical record (paper, electronic).
To complement the conventional clinical outcomes in the study, a spectrum of patient-reported outcome measures was created [ 11].
