While weight is a standard prenatal care measure in American Samoa, height is not, therefore height (and consequently BMI) was only available for 31.6% of the sample (n = 200).
For this reason, there is a continuous effort to capture the available biodiversity, but for some natural products, the available extracts are very scarce, and consequently, only limited amounts are available for analysis.
For example, males of many livestock species are castrated or slaughtered before sexual maturity and even intact bulls require training to donate semen for artificial insemination and consequently semen is usually only available from elite animals.
The physiopathology of sepsis continues to be poorly understood and, consequently, only a few specific therapies are available to treat this condition.
However, these methods can be very computationally intensive and are consequently only tested on small subsets of available data.
Second, in several families all affected individuals had died and, consequently, only at-risk family members were available for testing.
Importantly, extended pharmacy services often duplicate services, which were historically only available from GPs; consequently, people are not dependent on community pharmacy for these services.
All candidates showed support for the single predicted isoform by means of available transcript evidence and consequently only this single isoform could be detected during experimental validation (Additional file 2).
This extreme variability complicates standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based techniques for molecular characterization studies, and consequently only a few complete Ascidian mitochondrial genome sequences are available.
These data were only available up to 2007 for the province of Quebec and consequently for the same year nationally, for Canada.
