In spite of this concern, we found that responses from electrodes that were acutely implanted (a few hours) were only slightly distorted by implantation, and that signals that allowed for distinction of neurochemicals could be achieved, albeit with some reduction in sensitivity.
Albeit with varying degree of sensitivity and specificity, the properties of diffusely reflected light in discriminating a variety of oral lesions have been demonstrated by our group in multiple studies using point monitoring systems.
The indole-sensitive ORN-B also responded, albeit with lower sensitivity, to phenolic compounds, with 2-methylphenol (o-cresol) eliciting the strongest response.
Indeed, some colleagues have estimated considerably greater sojourn times, albeit with lesser sensitivity [ 20].
The findings of this study suggest that CSF lactate is a reliable biomarker to distinguish between bacterial meningitis from aseptic meningitis, albeit with imperfect sensitivity.
The LES model is found to predict the soot volume fraction profiles quite accurately, albeit with significant sensitivity to the inflow profiles of the fuel jet and air coflow.
The PCR confirms the purity, albeit with lower sensitivity (Figure S2).
When stimulated with DEET, IR3535, and picaridin Or42a responded, albeit with low sensitivity, in a dose-dependent fashion, except for picaridin at the highest dose tested (Fig. 10).
