The base line values of all the parameters were statistically similar, therefore we used one-way analysis of variance followed by Scheffe's post hoc ANOVA, if required, to compare the mean values at every line point between the three groups.
Blood analyses were carried out at day 0 prior to treatment for base line values, at completion of treatment (d 84) and then at 90 day intervals during the one year follow-up period according to the procedures previously described [ 14].
Important knowledge of base-line values of azoxystrobin and its metabolites in natural tropical and estuarine/marine ecosystems is lacking.
In addition, data were normalized to the average base-line values of the 485/535 and 340/380 nm ratio (485/535 and 340/380 nm relative ratio, respectively) to facilitate comparisons between responses in different cells.
Separate models were fitted with base-line values of HBP as predictor of death as well as base-line and change in HBP (HBP modeled as a time-dependent variable), adjusted for leukopenia (<4.0, >4.0), with s-creatinine and s-bilirubin, treated as continuous variables.
When evaluating the effect of one particular factor, other parameters will be fixed at base line values.
The base-line value for the negative control of post-adsorption treatment was 69.6 ± 3.5 based on the mean of viral foci number in un-treated wells.
The base-line value for the negative control of prophylactic treatment was 76.6 ± 4 based on the mean of viral foci in un-treated wells.
All cytotoxicity values are calculated against a base-line value for each line that was generated from "mock-treatment" of the normal and tumor cells lines with media supplemented with all diluents used to prepare the chemotherapeutic compounds.
Thus we assessed the usefulness of the used anchor (i.e., CGI) by calculating the Spearman rank correlation of CGI scores with the absolute and relative ((i.e., visit value-base line value)/base line value) changes of the TQ scores for the comparison of the two.
