At the same time, we defer the issues of phage nomenclature and taxonomy to a later time – essential as these questions are, they may be better addressed after we define the evolutionary relationships and natural groups that have to be properly named.
History of asthma was assessed using the question, "Have you ever been told by a doctor or other health professional that you had asthma?" If registrants responded positively, they were asked to further specify, "Did a doctor or other health professional first tell you that you had asthma before 9/11 or after 9/11?" We defined newly diagnosed asthma as cases diagnosed after 11 September 2001.
For the tunnel state 'Healthy after Disease', we defined that a recurrence cannot occur within three years (12 cycles) after preceding the first HZ-episode [ 47].
After all, we defined rave culture, and the likes of Global Gathering and Creamfields have been doing it legit for years.
After that, we defined spheres with radius of 3 mm for each node as the masks, centered on the coordinates of each node determined.
In a phase I study of early postoperative intraperitoneal 5-FU after HIPEC, we defined the dose-limiting toxicity of 5-FU as pancreatitis, which may well have been a complication from the debulking or hyperthermia.
To determine the incidence of dementia three months after admission, we defined an incidence cohort composed by non demented cases and controls at baseline who were followed over three months.
For evaluation of the association between MRP 8/14 levels at discontinuation and flaring after discontinuation, we defined flare as having at least three of the following: a physician or patient VAS ≥20 mm, ≥1 active joints, any worsening on the CHAQ and ≥30 % worsening of ESR and limited joints [ 18, 19].
Since patients were typically given appointments four weeks after any visit, we defined compliance as attending the clinic within four weeks after the patient's last visit, with patients being non-compliant when the timespan between two visits exceeded four weeks.
To test whether increased expression of C/EBPα was crucially involved in shifting the transcriptional network after RUNX1/ETO depletion, we defined overrepresented binding patterns for C/EBPα, PU.1, RUNX1, and LMO2 after RUNX1/ETO knockdown.
