It is possible that the difference in results reflects the difference in technique, but the studies also had differing follow-up periods (times of assessment), which may have influenced the outcomes.
The difference in technique is quite simple.
Detectives have been struck by the difference in technique of the disposal of the child and the dismembered women.
This difference in technique is due to the exam material being lecture-based because the prices of textbooks can be ridiculously high: it's cheaper to order them in from the UK and pay the delivery charges!
This difference cannot be ascribed simply to a difference in technique because, apart from a difference in the strain of rabbits (the previous study used NZ white rabbits while we have used Dutch-belted), the methods are essentially the same.
This difference in technique could account for the differences seen in Ang-1 expression.
The discrepancy between these results and our observations may in part be explained by a difference in technique.
These are both much lower than the figures achieved by Valldeperas et al, which we attribute to difference in technique.
A smaller study from Ontario, Canada did not show a difference in technique failure or mortality with PD in rural areas [ 7].
There was no difference in technique survival (P > 0.05) between the two groups, but rural patients showed lower overall survival (P < 0.05).
