These recordings were obtained at the pre-HIRREM enrollment visit, just prior to the assessment of the pattern of brain electrical frequencies and amplitudes, and again during the post-HIRREM data collection visit.
Because cytokines such as IFN-γ and IL-4 direct immunoglobin class switching for IgG2a and IgG1, respectively [31] we measured antigen specific production of these antibody isotypes before infection to provide an indirect but physiologic in vivo assessment of the pattern of cytokine production and consequently reduction of parasite load after challenge infection.
The statistical analysis began with assessment of the pattern of missing values among the DASS items.
An assessment of the pattern of risk factors for CVD in rural minority populations is important for several reasons.
Since we used the criterion of G > C on the leading strand to assign POML for 22 of the circular chromosomes, we excluded these from an assessment of the pattern of G/C bias.
This proportionate increase was consistent with the assessment of the pattern of CpG island methylation at a neutral locus, which showed decreased within-crypt methylation pattern diversity in adenomatous versus AFAP/FAP crypts, in line with an increased stem cell loss/replacement rate in adenomas.
Assessment of the pattern of the IgH mutations responsible for H. pylori in MALT lymphoma determined that all of our cases of gastric MALT lymphoma displayed a hypermutation mechanism, as also previously reported (Qin et al, 1995; Du et al, 1996).
The major strength of the convenience study is its detailed assessment of the patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in the sample examined based on the concurrent use of objective (accelerometry) and subjective (diaries and questionnaires) methods.
Here, we use two independent lines of evidence a taxon-rich phylogenetic approach and an assessment of the patterns of gene presence/absence to evaluate the extent of LGT in the parasitic amoebozoan genus Entamoeba.
For a more accurate assessment of the patterns of field-based MVPA using the ActiTrainer monitor, a longer monitoring period [ 21] (including at least 1 weekend day) during different seasons [ 45] would be needed.
