Furthermore, these earlier studies grouped cases by ICD, which uses mainly primary site to classify cancers.
In earlier studies describing cases of enamel erosion in people using swimming pools with poorly controlled disinfectant dosing, the main cause of tooth defects was the low pH of the pool water [ 5– 9].
Finally, families included in the earlier study had index cases, all of whom had breast cancer, while our index cases (survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer receiving radiation therapy) include a variety of cancers (Table 2).
The numerical solutions are compared with earlier studies for special cases of the wedge angle parameter and found to be in excellent agreement, thereby validating the accuracy of the present numerical code.
An earlier study has shown cases in which SOC's enabled information systems to be implemented with considerably less code than when implemented with components designed by a typical object-oriented approach.
These earlier studies in some cases were based on marked overexpression of a particular miRNA, followed by expression studies of the mRNAs of interest.
An earlier study of 200 cases reported in Texas from 1980 through 1984 found that 29% of the patients resided in Nueces County (2 ).
Earlier studies indicate that cases of TBF in the same county have a similar distribution with 60.4% occurring in May/June and 27.7% in September/October [ 19].
In the earlier study, hip fracture cases admitted to selected hospitals in Gwangju City and Chonnam Province were identified on the basis of medical records and radiographs.
Earlier studies involved initial cases of VRE or outbreaks, and follow up lasted only months; in contrast, recent studies were in endemic settings and follow up lasted up to a decade.
