Children were allocated to a normal range or a clinical (elevated) range, using the 90th percentiles of the Dutch normative sample for the validated Dutch version[ 10].
Patients will be randomly allocated to either normal care (control group) with standard education provided by nurses at the first visit of treatment, or to the intervention group to participate in an extra orientation program.
We used the same BMI cut-off points for all races included in our study and hence Asian women are more likely to have been allocated to the normal BMI group.
A total of 83 consecutive patients were allocated to the normal, median, or high admission plasma glucose group for glucose levels of < 7.8 mmol/L, between 7.8 and 11.1 mmol/L, or ≥11.1 mmol/L, respectively.
According to BMI, subjects were allocated to obese or normal weight groups (obese migraineurs, normal weight migraineurs, obese controls, and normal weight controls).
Based on calculated body mass index (kg/m) respondents were allocated to either having a normal weight (< 25 kg/m) or having overweight (≥ 25 kg/m) [ 30].
Rats were randomly allocated to five groups: the normal control group, DMN group, M19 68 μM/kg + DMN group, WM130 34 μM/kg + DMN group, and WM130 68 μM/kg + DMN group, n = 5 in each group.
Rats were randomly allocated to five groups: (i) normal (without intervention), (ii) siRNA (TREK-1 siRNA), (iii) siRNA-c (control scrambled siRNA was given), (iv) siRNA+Pre+MCAO (TREK-1 siRNA followed by sevoflurane preconditioning plus MCAO), and (v) siRNA-c+Pre+MCAO (control siRNA followed by sevoflurane preconditioning plus MCAO).
