Further, to astrologers, if something appears in their favour, they latch upon it as proof, while making no attempt to explore its implications, preferring to refer to the item in favour as definitive; possibilities that do not make astrology look favourable are ignored.
But his Utah team said that because none of the studies were definitive, the possibility of antibiotic benefit for heart patients "deserves further testing".
However, even though an underlying abusive situation may not be definitive, the possibility should be entertained in specific circumstances.
The advantages of converting to internal synthesis in these femoral fractures were definitive stabilisation, the possibility of active-passive joint movements, and complete and early weight-bearing and mobility, together with fewer risks of infection from the absence of pin sites.
Unless one succumbs to an essentialist and positivist epistemology, he argues, cataloging possible affordances is a purely speculative endeavor: "'Possible' leaves nothing substantial to work with, unless a definitive list of possibilities can be constructed from the properties of each element separately, and their various interactions" (p. 403).
Although intriguing and relevant for therapy, a more definitive demonstration of this possibility awaits additional studies.
While far from definitive, this suggests the possibility of a developmental role of exons from the 19A - 19H cluster.
By retaining a discussion of the hypothesis of a requirement for Subdued in DUOX function, we hope to stimulate future studies that may yield more definitive assessments of this possibility.
Given the amount of resources that are often invested in large "definitive" clinical trials, the possibility of such covariates should be an explicit part of the discussion in designing the trials and interpreting the results.
Although the spatially and temporally dynamic nature of feeding and nutrition signaling make definitive interpretations difficult, one possibility that is consistent with our findings is that feeding suppresses AMPK activity, leading to decreased FOXO activity and sNPF/ sNPFR1 transcript levels.
