That study reported (as unpublished data) that this kit had been previously compared with an in-house ELISA from the US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (Fort Detrick, MD, USA), and results of the commercial and in-house ELISAs were comparable for all samples tested.
Her internship involves working with bullet casings that have been previously compared and tested by experts in her field to find whether they were shot from the same gun.
The performance of the flocculant BASF Rheomax® DR 1050 has been previously compared to a conventional anionic flocculant in turbulent pipe flocculation of mineral suspension, suggesting that the flocculant can generate denser aggregates (i.e. larger effective fractal dimension).
These settings were previously compared during experimental endotoxinemia in pigs and proved to influence both systemic and organ-specific inflammation [5, 6].
To our knowledge, these models have not been previously applied and compared in sports injury epidemiological studies and so it is currently unknown which of these is the most suitable for modelling recurrent sports injuries.
Racial differences in ART outcome have been previously reported in white compared to ethnic minorities, with larger studies showing better ART outcome in white compared with all the minority groups.
Although some of these trends have previously been compared in general, hospital and ICU populations in Denmark [ 22], it is unclear whether these results are applicable to other countries, in general, or the Netherlands, in particular.
Although imaging is widely applied in patients presenting with acute abdominal pain, imaging strategies had not previously been compared in a large prospective study of diagnostic accuracy.
While a higher level of perceived stress has been previously reported in migraine patients compared to that in healthy controls in two studies [6, 7], there was no difference in mean PSS score between migraine patients and controls after controlling for depression and anxiety in this study.
Poor outcomes with in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment have been previously shown in Indian women compared to Caucasian women, and some evidence suggests that poor embryo quality may be a cause for the discrepancy.
