In the GMC report, Professor Esmail and co-author Professor Chris Roberts say they cannot "confidently exclude bias from the examiners in the way that they assess non-white candidates", but did not include the specific statement that "subjective bias owing to racial discrimination" cannot be ruled out – leading to disagreement over their conclusions.
Perivisceral inflammatory changes and abscess collections are confidently excluded.
If the morphology of the lymph node is entirely normal, malignancy can be confidently excluded and the increased uptake attributed to brown fat [18].
Finally, for those samples for which neither the tribal or genus specific PCR assays were designed, we could confidently exclude these samples from belonging to certain tribes and genera.
Nevertheless, MRI is unable to depict testicular microlithiasis, but this may facilitate the detection of parenchymal areas with pathological signal or contrast enhancement in affected patients, since the parenchymal echostructural inhomogeneity associated with this condition could not allow malignant lesions to be confidently excluded at US examination.
The most helpful finding of diverticulitis is the detection of a diverticulum in the involved segment; however, colon cancer cannot be confidently excluded based on this finding, as diverticulosis without any active inflammation is also highly prevalent in the general population [16].
In case we still find an effect of unemployment on absences, we can argue that this behavior is affected by the incentives of workers to take sick leave, and we can confidently exclude the alternative explanation of a change in the composition of the workforce.
Because the whole front side of the particle was coated with a 30 nm thick carbon layer prior to the main SEM study and was additionally protected by an electron beam deposited layer of platinum before any ion beam irradiation occurred, we confidently exclude that this olivine surface layer was produced by incidence of Ga+ ions.
The aim of this systematic review is to determine whether the diagnostic performance of MRI is sufficient to confidently exclude axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients, preventing node-negative patients from undergoing unnecessary invasive staging procedures such as SLNB.
We are therefore unable to confidently exclude a beneficial effect of statin use in patients with severe influenza.
