For the purposes of this study, epidemiology articles were defined as studies of incidence or prevalence of diabetes, or of factors affecting those (thereby excluding studies looking at other epidemiological aspects such as mortality).
In addition, excluding studies looking at MD in relation to smoking, there is currently no other evidence from preceding research that supports the validity of our findings, and more studies will be needed to confirm or refute this observed weak inverse association between air pollution and MD.
Therefore, it is possible to classify DLX sequences in species with 3 bi-gene clusters (excluding Teleostei) by looking at four amino acid sites only (positions 18, 23, 56 and 60).
For the analyses, we included only seven variables considering the neighbourhood environment and excluded three variables looking at the home and work environment.
We did not exclude them when looking at ever having had cervical screening, as hysterectomy is not common among very young women (in our sample 5.5% of women aged 40-44 reported having had a hysterectomy, and 6.1% of hysterectomies were done before age 30), leaving time in which they could have had a smear before having a hysterectomy.

For example: the Santolaya studies took place in Chile, excluded BMT, looked at a broad definition of infectious complications and developed a 5-item rule, the Rackoff model was developed in the United States, did not clearly exclude any patient group, primarily examined bacteraemia and produced a rule based on a single haematological parameter and temperature.
