The much higher fractional incorporation of LPC compared to PC precludes LPC coming from hydrolysis of newly synthesized PC and emphasizes the complexity of the underlying mechanisms of surfactant synthesis and secretion.
The larger size of our dataset and greater variability inherent in the performance of short probe sequences compared to longer probes precludes the use of most existing approaches.
Finally, the incidence of several medical illnesses, particularly heart problems was relatively low especially compared to other studies, this precluded the examination of the specific association between childhood maltreatment and particular medical illnesses.
Measurement of EpCAM expression in MCF7 cells under the same conditions was restricted to a two days time span owing to the substantially bigger size of these cells as compared to HCT8 cells, which precluded further culture under those conditions.
Higher probability of morbidity in underweight compared to normal weight women might preclude underweight women from mammographic screening participation, which complicates unbiased estimation of their probability of nonparticipation in mammographic screening in relation to underweight.
This analysis helps answer whether caloric restriction for GC, or safe, effective GC in general, preclude or limit nutrition delivery when compared to that achieved by the entire ICU patient cohort.
The main drawback of EDI-OCT compared to UBM for anterior segment imaging is penetration depth, which precludes examination of the ciliary body.
African Americans with heart failure may respond differently to some standard therapies compared to whites, but low levels of enrollment of AAs in large clinical trials preclude valid conclusions in certain cases.
The low sequence identity of flavivirus RdRps compared to other RdRps with existing structures (Ferrer-Orta et al., 2005) precluded the use of the molecular replacement method.
At volcanoes contributing three eruptions, there is a greater proportion of largest eruptions which occurred first compared to the smallest eruptions, but it is not a large difference (the limited data preclude robust statistical analysis).
