The extent to which such biases exist in studies of diagnostic tests for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is unknown, and no studies address whether these biases influence published estimates of the performance of CTS diagnostic tests.
Certainly, including more data (adding fossil information to neontological studies and data on extant taxa to paleontological studies) always seems like a better path forward: Plenty of room exists in studies of biogeography, evolution, and the history of life, to include both paleontology and neontology.
The collective evidence from studies that have used direct or indirect approaches to estimate smoker misclassification shows that although some misclassification of ever smokers as never smokers exists in studies of ETS and lung cancer, the potential bias from the misclassification of smokers is unlikely to explain the observed increased risk of lung cancer associated with ETS exposure.
A significant relationships existed in Study 2 between the level of agreement on each factor's rating across our sample of network professionals and the riskiness level each factor was judged.
Dubben et al [38] looked at whether study publication bias exists in studies which investigate the problem of study publication bias.
Considerable value exists in studying the basis of intraspecific incompatibilities (Maheshwari and Barbash 2011), and C. briggsae will continue to be useful for studying the genetic basis of population divergence, the evolution of genetic incompatibilities, and the dynamics of genomic coevolution.
Much confusion existed in the study of Cepheids until it was recognized that different types of Cepheids are associated with different groups, or population types, of stars.
Whereas considerable value exists in studying these cohorts, the demographics of HIV disease have shifted.
Because genetic variants of CD36 exist in humans, studies of the receptor in humans could help explain why some people crave fat more than others do.
In our institution, however, the fact that a group of specialized surgeons, medical oncologists and pathologists treated this patient cohort reduces the effects of treatment heterogeneity that exist in cohort studies of this nature.
