Continuous variables were tested for normality, and expressed as median (25 to 75th percentile values) or mean ± standard deviation, as applicable, with binary variables expressed as percentages.
NMR buffer contained a 10%D2O/90%% H2O mixture or 100% D2O, as applicable, with 50 mM KPi, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, and 1 mM EDTA (pH 6.5) for all samples, except for the hE NADPH complex, which was prepared at pH 8.0 for increased stability.
The model included birth weight (low vs control) and risk variables as applicable along with age, age, race and gender and their interaction with birth weight (low vs control).
Similarly sensitivity analysis was also performed to assess the effect of those items assessed as not applicable, with their initially exclusion to the analysis and then addition as if they were reported so as not to penalise studies which had a larger number of not applicable items and would therefore potentially have a seemingly lower compliance with STARD.
Similarly sensitivity analysis was also performed to assess the effect of those items assessed as not applicable, with their initial exclusion in the analysis and then addition as if they were reported i.e. "yes" so as not to penalise studies which had a larger number of not applicable items and would therefore potentially have a seemingly lower compliance with QUADAS.
Despite the lack of gold standard criteria for AKI in veterinary medicine, the application of the human criteria has been verified as applicable to dogs with AKI [ 4, 5].
This general rule, of course, is not as applicable to films with strong British elements.
To determine concrete strength of the columns (both unheated and heated) at time of testing; additional concrete cylinders (150 × 300 mm) were prepared, wet-cured, heated (as applicable) and tested with their companion column specimens: cylinders tested, without heating, resulted in an average compressive strength of about 52 MPa.
We examined previously published privacy concepts regarding a streamlined de-pseudonymization process and a patient-based pseudonym as applicable to research with genomic data and warehousing approaches.
In this approach, investigators used a 200 item Q-sort process, where characteristics of patients were rated as applicable or not, with items derived from diverse sources including diagnostic criteria and developmental and personality theories.
Thus, the results derived from the present cohort can be regarded as applicable to all patients with early RA.
