Theoretical sampling served as the guiding focus for the selection of cases (e.g., pathology departments and ED setting) and study participants.
Tissue-based properties (e.g., pathology, grade, size, and tumor marker expression) and patient-related characteristics (e.g., age, race, smoking status, menopausal status, stage, and nodal status) were utilized to determine relationships between gene expression and clinical parameters.
By way of another example the introverted doctor, while doing well in assessments (level 1) may choose a career path (level 3) within the health service (e.g., pathology) that reduces doctor patient interaction (level 2).
The importance of both iNOS and COX-2 in AGEs-mediated pathologies is further supported by our report that successful blockage of either COX-2 or iNOS activity significantly reduces AGEs-mediated proteoglycan release and cartilage damage [ 17].
Other deviance is defined in terms of individual pathology (e.g., psychosis, extreme neurosis).
An administrative structure that segregates clinical scientists according to discipline (e.g., surgery, pathology, radiology, and nursing) functions according to fixed rules and does not optimize translational science.
In patients with associated acute trauma, treatment is mainly addressed to the adjacent pathology (e.g. patellar fractures, dislocations).
This approach provides insight into pathology (e.g., cancer) and tissue functioning, and assists in designing biomaterials with controlled dynamic stiffness by choosing the range and magnitude of stiffness change.
