ODG and OAC often recur at a higher pathological grade, either as anaplastic ODG or OAC (grade III), or astrocytoma grade IV (glioblastoma, GBM) [ 1].
Immunoreactivity for SNCG in tumour cells was graded as either negative or positive according to a four-value classification scale as follows: area of staining as <10percentt (0) or >10percentt (1) of all cancer cells stained within the section, staining intensity (>10% of all cancer cells stained within the section) was graded as weak (1), moderate (2), or strong (3).
Tumors were blindly graded as either encapsulated, non-invasive tumors (IT) or invasive carcinoma type 1 or 2 (IC1,2) as described [16].
The new toughened apprenticeships will mean apprentices completing their training will be graded as either pass, merit or distinction, and at least two thirds of the assessment will take place at the end of training, rather than the current continuous process.
Each of the 22 CONSORT items was graded as either "yes" or "no".
Each scorable item was graded as either "done" or "not done," and the time from simulation start to item completion was recorded.
At the end of the study, the results were graded as either good, fair, or poor by taking into account the dexterity score, the hand grip strength, the sensibility, and the appearance of the hand (Table 2) (Figs. 4, 5).
Apprentices completing their training will be graded as either pass, merit or distinction, giving a clearer impression of their level of achievement, rather than a simple pass or fail.
Severity was graded as either absent/none (Grade 0), mild (Grade 1, easily tolerated), moderate (Grade 2, interfered with activities of daily living), or severe (Grade 3, prevented activities of daily living).
