Using several statistical tests revealed that the gene expression profiles of responders (8 12 kgs weight loss) could always be differentiated from non-responders (<4 kgs weight loss).
To test this hypothesis, we determined whether A) responders could be differentiated from non-responders based on microarray data, and B) whether these gene expression profiles could be used for class prediction (i.e. can one predict whether an individual will lose weight in response to dietary intervention or not).
Identification of DEC strains requires that these organisms be differentiated from non-pathogenic members that constitute normal intestinal flora.
However, Leitgeb et al. reported that a subset of EHS subjects with significantly increased electromagnetic sensibility could be differentiated from non-EHS groups [ 8].
Additionally, we did not use any method that could interfere in the natural mother-child interaction during feeding; therefore, nutritive sucking cannot be differentiated from non-nutritive sucking.
Based on microbiological characteristics alone, H. influenzae, and particularly NTHi, cannot always be differentiated from non-haemolytic H. haemolyticus [ 16] or closely related "fuzzy" Haemophilus species.
The melancholic sub-type has been shown to be differentiated from non-melancholic depression on the basis of response selection performance [ 46], where performance on compatible and incompatible trial types (e.g. stimulus response compatibility tests) reflect cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
A study of Ramanujam et al. reported that 340 nm excitation HSIL sites could not be differentiated from non-HSIL sites in the transformation zone (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 (equivalent to HSIL) vs. squamous metaplasia).
Both methylation levels for each gene site and the number of methylated genes were increased in BC compared to healthy individuals, however BCs at different stages of progression could not be differentiated from non-malignant disease [47].
However, it is known that urography has limited ability in detecting small tumours of the ureter and renal pelvis, and the findings must be differentiated from non-opaque calculi, blood clots, papillary necrosis and inflammatory lesions.
