Prognostic and predictive value of novel unfavourable prognostic and predictive factors in breast cancer should be corroborated on a larger group of patients and should be compared to the significance of expression of the most important prognostic protein in the tumour, the oestrogen receptor.
(2) Can the hypothesis of habitat segregation between diploids and hexaploids on the meso- (altitude) and on the micro-scale (dense vegetation and high rock cover, respectively), as established from an in-depth study on a single mountain (Schönswetter et al., 2007; Hülber et al., 2009), be corroborated on a range-wide scale?
Although an echocardiogram and a CT scan were requested for our patient the CT was available earlier and the findings were corroborated on a later echocardiogram.
Further, the impact of the imagery conditions was corroborated on a task in which participants rated valence for associated pictures presented without captions, perhaps due to effects akin to evaluative conditioning (cf. Holmes, Mathews, et al., 2008; Standage, Ashwin, & Fox, 2009).
A key validation step, and a demonstration of the usefulness of the results herein, is that they are corroborated on a real-world example, which now has been resolved statistically for the first time: we can now reject M i, c with a p-value that lies clearly below the threshold.
While the first large-scale EST (Expressed Sequence Tag) projects based on Sanger sequencing had already revealed that transcriptomes are highly diverse and complex, this has over the last decade been corroborated on an unprecedented scale by massive parallel sequencing (MPS) [ 6- 9].
Consequently, the results cannot be corroborated on biological mechanisms because toxicologic data are unavailable.
These findings, however, remain to be corroborated on larger case studies.
These results were corroborated on protein level in a small cohort of patients (n = 5, see Supplementary Figure S1 in Additional file 1).
All these results and observations are corroborated on the samples heat treated at 800 and 900 °C, where c-Si has completely disappeared and new crystalline phases were detected.
These results were corroborated on the original and new sera for three identified features from the pattern, apoC-I (two features) and apoC-III, using immuno-based assays.
