The detailed registries and our large dataset allowed us to control extensively for potential confounders, of which the disease categories included in the Charlson comorbidity index have been validated with a mean positive predictive value of 98%% [ 42].
In study 1, to compare the effect on growth in healthy infants of a new amino acid based formula (AAF) and a control extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF), with both docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA) at levels similar to those in human milk worldwide.
Poultry carrying the H9N2 virus are likely the incubators for the establishment of novel human-infecting avian influenza viruses, so that the live poultry markets and live poultry trade need to be extensively controlled (Gao, 2014; Liu et al., 2014).
Our study indicated that low plasma HMW-adiponectin was a strong and independent risk factor related to MetS in Chinese when diet, lifestyles, adiposity, inflammatory factors leptin and sOB-R were extensively controlled.
In addition, we extensively controlled all associations for potential confounders including season of examination.
Studies to date have been regional, have not extensively controlled for individual characteristics and have applied varying approaches to density measurement.
All three contrasts compared flies that carry genetically identical sex chromosomes that differ only in their parent-of-origin, and they were tested in a common autosomal genetic background and under extensively controlled environmental conditions.
The systematic dissection of the impact of (combinations of) individual culture parameters on transcriptional regulation enabled by chemostat-based microarray analysis can be applied to interpret transcriptome data generated in less extensively controlled, but highly relevant cultivation conditions in industry and in the laboratory.
The transcript data generally is somewhat inconclusive, and it would be wise to include a warning that there is no necessary link between transcript levels and protein levels, especially in a mitochondrial system where the stoichiometry of subunits appears to be extensively controlled by post-translational modification.
