On the other hand, study designs that permit stimulating more than one site per day may attribute effects to a given site due to carry over effects [ 3].
On the other hand, our study design was sufficiently sensitive to detect a significant influence of the +6230 variant on the more detailed phenotypes of disease severity as radiograpically assessed by the extent of opacities and size and numbers of pulmonary cavities.
On the other hand, the study design closely mimics clinical reality, which constitutes a considerable strength.
As such, there are a number of unavoidable limitations due to not having a hand in study design.
On the other hand, the study design allowed us to evaluate heart rate variability without the confounding effects of drugs, including β-blockers, that may interfere with autonomic modulation.
On the other hand, our study design is free of any ethical aspects and some sort of selection bias which are of great concern when trying to establish randomized study groups where one group receives good care and the controls gets nothing despite an obvious need for support.
On the other hand, the study design is also a strength of the survey: the overall number of subjects, the diversity of the structures involved (LHUs with hospitals and other services, a University Teaching Hospital, the Faculty of Medicine including many graduation courses), the large number of aspects investigated and the level of statistical analysis provide many causes for reflection.
I held my coffee spoon in my hand, studying the design on it, like a museum curator scrutinizing an artifact from an Egyptian tomb.
On the other hand, in this study design, the two methods were combined into one group only for a primary evaluation, because they are both commonly used in daily practice.
On the other hand, questions 2 (study design) and 3 (sources where information may be found) of the SAFT had small effect sizes (0.3 and 0.2 respectively), while question 2 of the AFT had a small effect size (d = 0.1), but question 3 was large (d = 0.9).
