With the exception of retinitis, end-organ manifestations of CMV disease in HIV-infected individuals have unspecific clinical characteristics, and histopathological confirmation is required for definite diagnosis.
Elevated IgM titer (7 56) after onset of rash in persons who had compatible clinical and epidemiologic characteristics was considered confirmation of monkeypox.
The web-based notification process for both TB and LTBI cases, has an average timeline of 6 12 months and consists of four parts: 1) notification, 2) demographic and clinical characteristics, including laboratory confirmation and DNA fingerprint results, 3) patient management and (preventive) treatment outcome and 4) results of contact investigation (from 2006 onwards).
Thus, a 95% confidence interval (CI) for the predicted mean of optimum quality characteristic on a confirmation test is estimated using the following two equations (Wu and Gu2010): CI 3 = F α, 1, υ e V e 1 / η eff + 1 / r 1 / 2 and Open image in new window η eff = N / ( 1 + total DOF associated in the estimate of mean ), Open image in new window.
We defined hospital accreditation programs as the systematic assessment of hospitals against accepted standards [ 2] and certification is a confirmation of characteristics of an object, person, or organization against published standards [ 3].
Recorded data include sociodemographic information, method of diagnosis, type of confirmation, tumour characteristics coded according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (World Health Organization, 1976), stage of disease at diagnosis, hormonal receptor status and treatment during the first 6 months after diagnosis.

'Labelling' refers to describing something in words, or a short phrase, while 'certification' refers to the confirmation of certain characteristics of an object, person, or organisation, often by some form of external review, education, assessment, or audit.
Web-browsing and file-sharing traffic is generated using NS-2's built-in exponential traffic source with the parameter settings of bit rate, packet interval and packet size in confirmation with the characteristics of file-sharing and web-browsing traffic.
VACCR and PTF records contained pertinent medical and demographic data, such as tumor characteristics (e.g. histological confirmation), socio-demographic information (e.g. date of birth, age at diagnosis, race, etc)., and medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, obesity, gynecomastia, and Klinefelter syndrome) that are or may be associated with male breast cancer [ 22– 25].
