Two kinds of effects were detected in the bone marrow neutrophils: (a) an in vivo increase in neutrophil numbers, consistent with descriptions of previous studies [ 6 ]; (b) an ex vivo decrease in neutrophil production, but in liquid and semisolid culture conditions.
For a discussion of issues concerning the use of human faces as stimuli in this experiment, see the Introduction (see the Introduction also for a description of the wide range of previous studies justifying the choice of frequency-matched noise stimuli).
Literature provides surveys based on summaries of previous studies, which are often based on theoretical descriptions of the methods.
We are particularly indebted to the authors of previous studies on the morphology of peptidergic neurons in Drosophila, whose descriptions have much simplified our task.
We are particularly indebted to the authors of previous studies on the morphology of aminergic neurons in Drosophila, whose descriptions facilitated our task.
There are several research gaps according to the descriptions of the previous studies' findings related to the vehicle trajectories: i) as seen in Fig. 1, only the lateral locations at a few cross sections along the road were considered, such as at the entrance, midpoint, and exit of a curve.
A detailed description of the previous study has been published elsewhere [ 19, 20] and was published in the clinicaltrials.gov database (NCT00350987).
We provide more detailed information about each gene, its relevance in the pigmentation pathway, and a description of previous natural selection scans or association studies with pigmentary phenotypes, if relevant, as Additional file 3. The analysis was based on windows of 25 kilobases.
The isolation procedure was in accordance with the description in our previous studies [ 11].
Some respondents viewed the diagnosis of CFS/ME with scepticism, similar to descriptions of the views of GPs/FPs in previous studies [ 11, 12], where GPs/FPs did not consider CFS/ME to be a genuine illness, nor feel confident in neither its diagnosis nor management [ 3].
Descriptions of adverse events in previous studies were referenced, but it was unclear whether they were then used to inform the study adverse event planning.
