87 hips were analyzed in a sample consisting of 81 patients (mean age 56 (26 74) years, 55 men), each with a current-generation large-diameter MoM HA (84 hip resurfacings and 3 modular total hips in total).
The starting point was random, and 12 15 slides were analyzed in a sample using an equal number of slides for the other half of the bone pair.
The major strength of this analysis is that it is the first time the specific role of PPS in functional impairment and their influence on underproductivity and quality of life was analyzed in a large sample of primary care patients with GAD, with or without MDD, by means of a controlled-design study.
Two other primary outcomes- rates of HF-related emergency department (ED) visits and inpatient admissions-and secondary outcomes (patient self-confidence in managing HF symptoms and daily dietary sodium intake in milligrams) were analyzed in a smaller sample of 602 patients who completed at least 6 months of disease management.
Gender differences in blood cadmium concentrations and the effect of iron deficiency on blood cadmium levels were analyzed in a representative sample of Koreans assessed in the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2008 2011.
Linear morphological variables of five wrist bones – the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, capitate and hamate – are analyzed in a diverse sample of extant hominoids (12 species, 332 specimens), Old World (8 species, 43 specimens) and New World (4 species, 26 specimens) monkeys, fossil Miocene apes (8 species, 20 specimens) and Plio-Pleistocene hominins (8 species, 18 specimens).
Importantly, our analysis revealed a set of 50 informative genes that could be analyzed in a broader sampling of Piroplasmida taxa to gain a greater understanding of the evolutionary relationships of the piroplasms (Boxed sequences in Additional file 7).
We examined chick survival from hatching to breeding age by analyzing recruitment in a sample of 55 offspring (each genotyped at nine microsatellite loci).
Fission tracks were analyzed in a series of samples with a step-wise increase in sample complexity.
