Examination of the modification index revealed the presence of 18 large modification indices (>10).
Examination of the modification indices suggested that the feeling fat subscale could be divided into two related subscales for our pregnant subgroup: (1) feeling fat – general (items 4, 8, 10, 25, 28, 35, and 38; numbers aligned with those reported in Ben-Tovim & Walker [ 19]), and (2) feeling fat – clothing specific (items 5, 14, 19, 42, and 44).
An examination of the potential modification of acute mortality effects due to PM exposure by residential location in Hamilton, Canada, using educational attainment as an indicator for SES revealed that the areas of the city with the highest SES displayed no evidence of effect measure modification, whereas the areas with the lowest SES had the largest mortality risks (Jerrett et al. 2004).
Examination of the histone modifications present in the regions of CpG36 and BHLHB9 using the histone modification tracks of UCSC Genome Browser showed that they possess histone modification patterns reminiscent of a promoter (12, 25, 26).
A detailed examination of the chromatin modifications associated with transcriptionally active chromatin revealed H4 acetylation and H3K4me3 at nucleosomes proximal to the TSS.
In the present study, we aimed to examine whether associations between ozone and daily mortality was modified by SES at the census tract level or by individual characteristics using a case-crossover design, which allows for the examination of effect modification at the individual level.
Not only did this study pool the results of both attentional bias modification and interpretive bias modification studies, the examination of the impact of bias modification was compromised by inappropriately combining emotional measures.
Because case-crossover design allows for examination of effect modification at the level of the individual, rather than subgroup, we also modeled potential interactive effects between ozone, sex, and age.
The examination of effect modification showed that no factor significantly altered the results of the baseline models (data not shown).
This, plus the assessment of all second solid cancer sites in a single study, enabled the examination of effect modification by age and year of diagnosis, as well as estimation of the excess number and attributable proportion of second cancers that could be related to radiotherapy.
