Using a comparative effectiveness study design, we compared the effectiveness of a new clinical pathway (NCP) featuring central intake clinics, dedicated inpatient resources, care guidelines and efficiency benchmarks vs the standard of care (SOC) for THR or TKR.
Study design: We compared 123 Nigerian children who had rickets with matched control subjects.
Study design: we compared full length TTV genomic sequences and identified conserved nucleotide patterns in the 5′ and 3′ non-coding regions of the viral genome.
Using a longitudinal design, we compared rhythmic patterns at different ages in L1 acquisition and at different proficiency levels in L2 acquisition.
Study design: We compared two third generation, two fourth generation and one antigen HIV assays in a case with acute primary HIV infection.
In a randomized, double-blind, crossover design, we compared the efficacy of sildenafil with placebo in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH).
Using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in a cross-over, sham-controlled design, we compared involvement of right posterior parietal cortex with primary visual cortex.
Using a cross-sectional, retrospective, group design we compared six groups of children (Total N = 164), with a history of brain insult and documented focal brain pathology, aged 10 16 years on a range of measures of EF.
In a longitudinal design, we compared the effect of a maraviroc-containing (n = 9) or sparing (n = 12) therapy in antiretroviral-naive HIV-positive participants on peripheral FoxP3low CD45RA+ (nTreg), FoxP3high CD45RA– (eTreg) and FoxP3low CD45RA– (non-Treg) cells.
In a 2×2 factorial design, we compared plasma protein- and soy protein-based diets in rotavirus-infected and noninfected piglets to determine if plasma protein reduced acute rotavirus intestinal damage or improved recovery.
In a pair wise design we compared snail abundance, species density, and species composition between 13 old seminatural stream-side stands and 13 matched young stands developed 40 60 years after clear-cutting.
