After this study had begun accrual, a trial from Norway comparing PE with cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, etoposide (CEV) reported a survival benefit for PE (Sundstrom et al, 2002).
Therefore, CNVs with ORs ≥ 2.5, comparing PE cases and normotensive controls, and CNVs called in ≥3 cases and absent in controls were selected for additional consideration.
To our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled study comparing PE and IVIG for treatment of children with rapidly progressive GBS requiring MV.
This table shows a small increase of the melting temperature, heat of melting, and crystallinity when comparing PE-N with PE122 and PE125.
When comparing PE amino acid sequences of K. alvarezii with two ecotypes of Prochlorococcus, it is shown that many loci in K. alvarezii PE sequences were conserved with LL- Prochlorococcus.
The data shown in Figure 4 compares PE-associated nuclear and total cellular fluorescence before and after gamma radiation exposure in the three cell lines.
Review articles, studies that did not use proteomic techniques or studies that did not compare PE with a normotensive (control) group were excluded.
In addition, Putzier et al. compared PE-treated CBG with autologous iliac crest cancellous bone for lumbar segmental spondylodesis indicating an excellent clinical performance of PE-treated CBG [ 66].
Several prospective studies had compared PE with anthracycline-based therapy, but most failed to demonstrate superiority of PE (Evans et al, 1987; Fukuoka et al, 1991; Roth et al, 1992).
The objective of this study is to compare PE and IVIG as a first line treatment for children with severe GBS requiring MV regarding the duration of MV, PICU stay and short term neurological outcome.
While comparing confirmed PE and ruled out PE there was higher mortality in oncologic patients, followed by those in the unprovoked and provoked group.
