Furthermore, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analyses of specimens were conducted.
EUS-guided FNA (EUS-FNA) is an established tissue-acquisition technique, with most studies concentrating on cytologic analyses of specimens, with only few data existing on histologic assessment.
By comprehensive finite element analyses of specimens with through-the-thickness cracks and specimens with corner, surface and embedded elliptic cracks, we demonstrated that a three-parameter characterization based on C t) integral, the out-of-plane stress constraint factor Tz and in-plane constraint coefficient Q* can be efficiently applied in all cases.
Genetic analyses of specimens collected from victims preserved in the arctic and archived tissues from World War I soldiers suggests that the 1918 H1N1 strain was an avian-origin virus that adapted to humans [7].
These findings are consistent with the published data concerning histologic analyses of specimens obtained from patients with MS at autopsy, which have shown a possible correlation between the presence of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and the development of demyelinating lesions [19], [20].
This is particularly obvious in palaeontological studies, including analyses of specimens embedded in amber [ 21] as well as studies on fossilized specimens [ 22- 24].
Findings of analyses of specimens taken for microbiological diagnosis because of patient infectious status (routinely performed by the hospital laboratory) are included in the study.
At the point of laboratory analysis, samples were not frozen, so between-run variation could not be eliminated and replicate analyses of specimens were not performed.
Finally, the workflow employed here has the additional advantage of enabling morphological and histological analyses of specimens whose individual auditory sensitivities were previously measured.
Respondents who had been responsible for primary specimen and data collection identified different barriers and motivations as compared with those who had conducted secondary analyses of specimens and data collected by others.
