Matthew A. Baum, the Harvard scholar who wrote the journal article, told me that he couldn't calculate how many of the total flu deaths were attributable to conservatives putting too much faith in their pundits.
The low prevalence of cartilage defects may also be attributable to our conservative method for assessing defects (that is, deep ulceration with 50% loss of thickness or greater) [ 26], which may have underestimated cartilage defects.
That the incidence of bleeding reported in this study (54%) exceeds the rates from published trials is likely attributable to our conservative definition of bleeding [ 19], which was selected to encompass bleeding events felt to be of clinical significance and not confined to only major or life-threatening events.
The lower prevalence could be attributable to a more conservative approach that was adopted in detecting APP, by examining long-term co-prescription with a minimum duration of six months.
Even though they report a significant reduction in phagocytosis in individuals with A858V/P1146S variant neutrophils, they hypothesize that the affect is attributable to the less-conservative P1146S amino acid change.
