Because previous studies suggest most pediatric intensivists believe hyperglycemia may be hazardous to their patients, readers may infer that as in adult ICUs, glycemic control measures are the norm in pediatric ICU practice [ 24, 25].
The 1p36 region is believed to harbour tumour suppressor genes, because previous studies identified frequent allelic imbalance at 1p36 in various types of human cancers (Schwab et al, 1996).
However, we do not believe that these VP2-specific responses make a significant contribution to pathology because previous studies in susceptible SJL mice have demonstrated that T cells reactive to VP1 secrete fourfold to fivefold more IFN-γ than VP2 reactive cells in response to in vitro stimulation (44).
However, evidence from intervention studies for this hypothesis is inconclusive because previous studies were not blinded.
This is a surprise because previous studies supported the idea that 'true' handedness is a unique feature of primates.
Based on our findings and findings from previous studies, we believe this issue warrants serious attention.
Because a QTL with this effect size is near the level of detection in the previous study, we believe that it was possibly a false negative.
Because the protocols were so similar and the study group were larger in the present study (44 subjects in the present study, 36 subjects in the previous study), we believe the different finding in the present study indicate that the earlier reported correlation may have been a chance finding.
In previous studies, it was believed that PEComa tumors simultaneously expressed melanocyte and smooth muscle cell markers.
However, our results were better than those from previous studies, which we believe was because of our experience with ablating metastatic lymph nodes at difficult sites using RFA [27], and because multidisciplinary therapies (RFA and chemotherapy) were given to metastatic patients, resulting in prolonged survival.
