Another conundrum not yet fully resolved is whether there really is added benefit in using repeated rituximab infusions on a regular basis (that is, maintenance therapy) or whether it is preferable to repeat B-cell depletion only when the patients relapse.
(Brown et al, 2007) (Canada, hypothetical) In one hypothetical study (Brown et al, 2007), women thought HPV testing was preferable to repeat smear tests but in another study where HPV-positive participants had a second HPV test after 12 months (Waller et al, 2007b), most preferred the reassurance of colposcopy to a further 12 month wait and a third HPV test.
Simulation-based studies have sought to optimize DTI acquisitions and suggest that increasing the directional resolution of a DTI dataset (i.e., the number of distinct directions) is preferable to repeating observations, in an equal scan time comparison.
In addition, in an equal scan time comparison of QBI accuracy, we find that increasing the directional resolution of the HARDI dataset is preferable to repeating observations; however, our results indicate that as few as 32 directions at a low b-value (1000 s/mm2) captures most of the angular information in the q-ball ODF.
Aides convinced Roosevelt that putting the COs to work in out of the way camps was preferable to repeating the difficulties of World War I. Selective Service and the peace churches agreed to a six-month trial of church supported and funded camps for conscientious objectors and thus Civilian Public Service was born.
However, if this method were to be used in general for continuous monitoring of local drug use, it would be preferable to use repeated sampling in a given, well characterized setting.
