Clustering analysis was then performed to generate a unigene database that comprised potential alternative splicing transcripts.
However, PCB 153 concentrations were not associated with QUS values in multivariate analyses that comprised potential confounding factors such as age, body weight, former oral contraceptive use and current hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use, which were all significant predictors of bone stiffness (total R2 = 0.39; p < 0.001).
Spatial patterns in H. decipiens biomass following monsoon conditions were highly variable within a landscape that largely comprised potential seagrass habitat.
23 25 In total 8 different surveys were used, each of which comprised vignettes on two types of potential errors; a possible medication error and potentially missed hand disinfection.
After QC, the clean data set comprised 1507 samples (excluding individuals with potential non-European ancestry, more than 5% missing genotype data, sex-inconsistent X-heterozygosity or a genome-wide heterozygosity of more than 36.4% or less than 34.3%).
A further potential limitation is that our cohort comprised predominantly Caucasian women who volunteered to participate in a long-term follow-up study.
Although our cohort comprised incident instead of prevalent dialysis patients, some potential survivor bias might be left because only patients that survived 6 months on dialysis were included in the present analyses (1474 patients).
Hypothesized determinants of accuracy comprised current intensity, event-related late near field evoked potentials, skin conductance response, heart rate, and pupil diameter change.
Within the small fluctuations at the equilibrium (reached after energy-minimizing the crystal structure according to a given potential energy function), NMA approximates the complicated potential (comprised of multiple contributions including bond stretching, angle bending, dihedral, electrostatics and van der Waals) surface harmonically.
An initial cohort of potential study cases was identified by chart review and comprised patients over 50 years of age who received a screening mammogram at the Manitoba Provincial Screening Program between 1996 and 2000 that had led to a subsequent breast biopsy at either St Boniface Hospital or the Health Sciences Center, Winnipeg, Manitoba, to remove a mammographically detected lesion.
The CABG cohort comprised patients in the control group of a completed randomized trial to examine the potential cardioprotective effects of ciclosporin using biomarkers of necrosis (Multicentre Research Ethical Committee (MREC), reference number 06/Q0502/83 and with the ISRCTN Register, reference number 49989273).
