However, as the confidence interval included 1.0 it could not be reliably confirmed as being at higher risk for desmoid tumor formation.
Thus, our hypothesis could not be reliably confirmed and the results should be regarded as descriptive and hypothesis generating.
Moreover, chronic viral hepatitis can be reliably confirmed or excluded by means of a relatively inexpensive blood test [ 10, 11].
If an initial suspicion is reliably confirmed, appropriate action will be taken, as recommended by COPE [14].
Second, the role of factors supposed to contribute to critical incidents can be more reliably confirmed by comparing data among different units - for example, in case higher critical incident rates are associated with lower staffing levels.
These analyses confirmed that the samples could be reliably used for subsequent studies.
Our study, comparing various isotropic 3D sequences at 3 T, confirmed that 3D TSE MRI can be reliably performed for morphological cartilage imaging of the knee.
The results of the present study confirmed that the HADS has good psychometric properties in an Italian community sample, and that the HADS scores, especially the general psychological distress one, can be reliably used for assessing age and gender differences.
This confirms that ZFNs can be reliably and efficiently used to produce mutant alleles at loci of interest.
Both these genes' positive correlation with DC-SCRIPT expression was confirmed by RT-qPCR in the MCF7 system (Fig. 4), but both genes could not be reliably detected on the microarray platform used for the primary breast tumor specimens.
