For instance, in a recently published study by Rabe and collaborators evaluating the effect of a red-vine-leaf extract on changes in lower leg volume assessed by water displacement volumetry, a mean absolute decrease of 27 ml (corresponding to a relative decrease of 1.18%) in the treatment group and 7.2 ml (0.31%) in the placebo group after 12 weeks of treatment was observed [ 23].
Current studies, underway with collaborators, are evaluating the use of saliva, buccal swabs, or tissue biopsies as RNA starting material.
This paper reviews work carried out by Brightwell and its collaborators in evaluating, optimizing, and applying MFI technology to measure sub-visible particles in protein formulations.
Stein and collaborators [ 19] evaluated prospectively a cohort of 502 post-cardiac surgery patients over a 12-month period; of these, 3.4% did not survive.
In a pilot study, Qiu and collaborators [ 39] evaluated, in early pregnancy, levels of urinary 8-oxodG trying to determine an association with the risk of GDM development.
In a recent fMRI study, Marques and his collaborators [ 46] evaluated the role of domain (living vs. non-living) and feature type (visual form/surface vs. motion) through a concept-feature verification task.
In 2005, Maiorano and collaborators [ 48] evaluated aqueous extracts prepared from dried or fresh roots, stems, or leaves of Mikania glomerata (Asteraceae), a plant found in the Mata Atlântica in Southeastern Brazil and popularly known as "Guaco".
For instance, Hovav and collaborators [ 6] evaluated the effect of LprG in mice inoculated with BCG and demonstrated that an increase in the susceptibility to infection with M. tuberculosis in these BCG-inoculated mice overrides the protective effect of the vaccine.
Dnistrian and collaborators [ 26] evaluated serum HER2/neu in 54 patients who had metastatic breast cancer with tissue overexpression of HER2/neu and who were undergoing trastuzumab therapy either alone or in combination with paclitaxel.
Recently, Li and collaborators [ 27] evaluated the mitochondrial translocation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in mononuclear cells isolated from umbilical cord blood during pregnancies complicated by GDM with confirmed oxidative stress.
