Changes to SUVmax as a consequence of PSF modelling present a challenge as changes to defined local practice for reporting may be required such as changing the thresholds used for the discrimination of malignancy.
Defining response patterns by t-values (or in error-standard-deviation units) rather than by beta estimates (in % signal change) to define the patterns appeared advantageous.
Assessment of weekly score test-retest reliability used the Participant Global Assessment of Change (PGAC) response of 'no change' to define stable patients.
Furthermore, relying wholly on the free energy change to define a protein DNA interaction obscures the multiple subcomponents of that interaction.
When using a cutoff point of 20% change to define biological response after chemotherapy, biological response correlated favorably with radiological response in 80%and72%2% of patients, with kappa values of 0.62 and 0.46, when either CEA or CA19.9 was analyzed, respectively.
As in our previous analysis (Sutcliffe et al, 2006), case and control distributions diverged at a 40 49% PSA rise; therefore, we used a ⩾40% change to define a large rise.
In a tight labor market, employers have been reluctant to change to defined contributions for health care for active workers, who could easily find jobs with better benefits elsewhere.
Four days after infection, the media was changed to defined neuronal induction media including Neuronal Media (ScienCell) plus 0.5 mM Dibutyryl cyclic-AMP sodium salt (dbcAMP, Sigma), 20 ng ml−1 basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (ScienCell) with medium changes every 4 days.
