Upon observation of the initial small clusters on day 5±1, the cultures were split (1∶5) into their respective media.
To account for the clustering of patient-days from the same ward, we used logistic regression with generalized linear mixed model (PROC GENMOD, SAS version release 8.2; SAS Institute, Cary, NC) in the analyses.
Cluster size and the number of days from receipt of the first cluster case isolate to the third case isolate received by the public health laboratory were predictors of a source of infection being identified for Listeria monocytogenes clusters in France (16 ).
You and your little rodent friends start out living an average life in an average cluster of cages, and every day, for ten days, a nice man in a white lab coats gives you 10 grams of finely ground Purina lab crackers precisely at noon (you don't know it's noon, but you eventually pick up on the general time).
A total of 4261 X!Tandem searches were performed using the PRISM computing cluster (260 days of CPU time across 32 processing nodes) [64].
During the O104:H4 outbreak, the syndromic surveillance system was implemented on 27 May, 8 days after Robert Koch-Institute was notified of a first cluster of cases and 5 days after the EU and WHO were informed.
There were no significant differences in the number of days with cluster seizures between diet groups (P=0·6171).
The cat had sporadic seizures of unspecified frequency for the next 7 months, and at this point the cat had a cluster of seizures lasting several days.
As her daughter, she has had a cluster of GTCS lasting several days at 18 months of age although it remained uncertain whether she was febrile or not at this time.
To determine if family cluster events had increased over time, we divided the number of cluster events by the total number of days in 2 discrete periods and calculated rate ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
