These questions were Question 3. What are the primary cues in the additional case information?, Question 7. Please summarise the case so far; including your thoughts on differentials, examination and treatment strategies, 8. Give your reasoning for choice of differentials?, Question 11.
The SOC scale is considered a valid and reliable semantic differential, with questions covering the three comprehensive dimensions comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness [ 23].
A list of choices is offered for the reasons for referral: epilepsy-related indications, other differential diagnostic questions, specific pediatric indications, follow-up EEG, assessment of prognosis, and other indications (Table 2).
Epigenetic biomarkers need to be considered in the context of important differential diagnostic questions that clinicians face with their patients every day, for which they may already have trusted and reasonably effective approaches.
As is well known, they found applications in the theory of first-order partial differential equations, including questions such as estimates of solutions of initial problems, estimates of domains of solutions, estimates of the difference between solutions of two problems, criteria of uniqueness and continuous dependence of solution on given functions.
The TDs showed clear evidence of hypothetico-deductive reasoning, with an emphasis on explicitly evaluating relevant information and testing provisional hypotheses: what is the differential diagnosis, what questions can be asked, what physical examination can be done and what further testing (laboratory tests, X-rays, etc).
Transcripts were analysed thematically in terms of explanations given for differential reporting by question method, and how participants expressed themselves.
This differential distribution of question design, action and activities in the GP data led to typically longer patient responses and subsequently to other kinds of practitioner contribution such as GP's own evaluations, patient education or advice.
In addition, we augment the model to allow the possibility of questions having differential difficulty (cultural saliency).
The research of such questions for differential inclusions has started with the pioneering works of Aubin [5].
