We found only two studies that addressed interventions (undertaken in Thailand and Vietnam, respectively) [ 42, 44] specifically designed to improve pharmacists' to combat the dispensing of antibiotics without prescription, despite there were studies which established that the sale of antibiotics without a prescription are a reality in some European countries [ 98– 102].
Despite this paucity, there are studies that report the potential of DW- and DCE-MRI biomarkers for disease characterisation [ 25, 26] and response assessment in various paediatric oncological settings.
Despite stringent selectivity of GULT1 transporters, there are studies suggesting possible GULT1 mediated uptake of glucose prodrugs.
Despite there being several studies focused on B lymphocyte CDw75 expression, little is known to date about the CDw75 expression in solid tumours.
Despite there being few studies focusing on Th17 cells in AML, the nature, regulation, role and prognostic predictor of Th17 cells is poorly understood in the context of tumor immunity in AML patients as their results are divergent.
Despite there being many published studies, there are few and limited comparative data available, due to the differences in outcome measures recorded by different groups, as has been recently highlighted by a review of the surgical options for prostate cancer (Ficarra et al, 2009).
Despite that there are no studies yet, to demonstrate whether this is true also for neonates, one could speculate that due to the relative immune suppression and inability to localise the infection, neonates are even more sensitive to inappropriate AB therapy than adults.
Despite there being fewer fibrinogen concentrate comparator studies than FFP comparator studies (5 versus 52, respectively), the nature of the comparison must also be considered.
Despite the fact that there are many studies on ice reinforcement, ice composites have a very limited application.
Despite the fact that there are many studies reporting on the use of ASL in pre-clinical imaging, there are only very few investigations regarding the quantitative accuracy of ASL-derived perfusion values [7, 8, 13, 14].
Despite the fact that there are some studies on the influence of the CNT surface chemistry, the role of the properties of non-functionalized CNTs in cellular uptake has not been much investigated to a great extent.
