Although the overlap is considerable the two sets are quite different, an observation that can be attributed to fundamental differences in the methods (see Discussion section).
Differences in the methods applied for the analysis (PaO2 stratified in quintiles/deciles, different reference categories) make these studies difficult to compare.
The differences in the methods involve the type of substances diffusing through the semipermeable barrier and whether an external field or pressure is applied across the membrane.
Examination of the gradients of conductance and its inverse show larger fractional differences in the methods.
The discrepancies between the results can be explained by the differences in the methods.
Perhaps this discrepancy is caused by the differences in the methods of measurements and chemical compositions of alloys.
The main differences in the methods are the strain concentration factors for base metal fatigue strength reduction factors of weldments.
The diagnostic methods that are currently accepted worldwide must be borne in mind, because differences in the methods used clearly introduced bias in trials on preventive strategies.
Our data also revealed differences in the methods used in airway management training for emergency medicine trainees, including OR exposure (Table 7).
Some of these differences can be attributed to differences in the methods used to collect and isolate the samples.
The discrepancies between the various studies may be due to differences in the methods used to induce HF, in species, or in tissues studied [29].
