There was no evidence of a Marin County deficit in later-stage cancers, mortality rates remained stable despite distinct mortality declines observed in comparison regions, and disparate age-specific incidence trends were observed within the larger age group (aged 40+ years) targeted by screening programs [ 6].
The most striking of these was the prevalence of unrecognized MGD in patients with positively localized disease, which ranged from 1.6 to 22%. 5, 7, 10, 15– 19, 25– 29 This variation prompted us to surmise that divided opinions regarding the value of IOPTH monitoring rest not on dogma but rather arise as rational adaptations to disparate institution-specific factors.
One problem for tax reformers is the disparate impact of specific tax deductions on different people.
The comparative figure for PE is more difficult to judge because of even more disparate approaches to specific problems of sufficient photovoltage and stability, but an approximate comparative figure of 5% is estimated.
Surprisingly, we found a disparate impact of specific PS knockdown on γ-secretase activity.
The disparate relationship between specific missense VHL mutations and clinical phenotype in VHL disease and congenital polycythaemias provides an excellent opportunity to develop a sensitive and specific classifier to predict the risk of ccRCC in VHL disease.
Despite the apparent advantage of females observed in the experimental setting, findings in epidemiologic critical care studies have been equivocal; risk-adjusted gender differences in mortality are reported to be disparate, potentially diagnosis-specific [ 8- 11] or due to differences in treatment and resource allocation [ 12- 14].
The prose that navigates and marries these disparate urges is stylish, specific, savage and often darkly comic.
From these observations it is reasonable to conclude that different human groups might also have strikingly disparate response rates to specific disease treatments.
In the case of designed experiments (or natural quasi-experiments), the groups are treatment vs. control; in the case of observational studies that examine disparate outcomes for some specific group (e.g., a racial or ethnic group), we might refer to groups as focal vs. reference (Holland and Thayer [1988]; Penfield and Camilli [2007]).
