The cerebral parenchyma, hypothalami, caudate nuclei, lentiform nuclei, thalami, and mesencephalon were examined for the degree of midline separation (cleavage) of the two hemispheres.
The sterilised cells administered to the patient were examined for the degree of expression of the IFN- γ gene by using ELISA measurements of IFN- γ production.
With a view to contextualising this information, studies were also examined for the degree to which the measurement of co-morbidity was the stated purpose of the study.
When examined for the degree to which a study demonstrated adherence to a theoretical model, two of the fourteen selected studies could be considered TA, five MA, with the remaining seven not fitting into any recognisable model.
The paws were then embedded in paraffin and 5-μm sagittal serial sections of whole hind paws were cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and examined for the degree of synovitis and bone erosions by microscopic evaluation in a blinded manner as described earlier [ 19].
The sections were examined for the presence and degree of incrustation, thickness of the epidermis, epidermal necrosis, bleeding, hyperkeratosis and inflammation.
Hematoxylin and eosin stained histologic sections of all placenta specimens (n = 235) were examined for the type and degree of placentitis or vasculitis.
Each of the two study groups was examined for the percentages of subjects displaying varying degrees of parameters for metabolic syndrome (Table 3).
External auditory meatuses from 53 necropsied moose, sampled at convenience, were examined for the presence of Chorioptes spp. The degree of post-mortem change in the carcases ranged from mild to marked.
Characteristics of the deformation fields around the electrode including maximum electrode displacement, strain fields and relative displacement between the electrode and the adjacent tissue were examined for varying degrees of physical coupling between the brain and the electrode.
