Our current findings are comparable with prior studies of adult men and non-pregnant women.
In total 10% of the current cohort experienced metastatic disease to the abdomen or pelvis based on either screening or surveillance imaging, which is comparable with prior investigations.
The precision and reproducibility of the data extractions were comparable with a prior software validation.
The overall rate of metastases to distant sites of 39% observed in the current study is comparable with some prior reports and slightly higher than others.
The overall mean BDNF levels, irrespective of depressive symptoms, reported in our study are comparable with most prior studies [ 45, 47, 48].
The new in situ observations show that the interface migration rates for interfaces in different grains are comparable with each other prior to soft impingement, while the equilibrium migration distances for different interfaces can be quite different, depending on the local grain size.
In particular, a robust normalization method is critical to ascertain that arrays from two experiments are comparable with minimum noise prior downstream analysis.
While these prevalence measures are comparable with results from prior publications, to our knowledge, this is the first detailed reporting of pain ratings and anatomic locations [ 2, 5, 8– 13].
The EIP findings, that the excess risk was comparable with that associated with prior seasonal influenza vaccines and smaller than that observed in 1976, provided evidence for sustaining the vaccination campaign (22 ).
This level of agreement is comparable with that obtained in prior studies (Becker et al., 2006; Frisoni et al., 2006).
