Trained research coordinators at each institute reviewed medical records daily to identify, obtain consent and enroll consecutively eligible patients.
Specific clones were identified, obtained and sequenced.
Only samples in which all six loci were successfully amplified, sequenced, and identified obtained a full MLST profile (Sequence type, ST) and were included in further analysis.
During the data integration process, gene/protein identified obtained from different sources were all mapped to NCBI official gene symbols (Brown et al., 2015).
Design Data were identified, obtained, and assessed among adults in 16 age- and sex-specific groups from dietary surveys worldwide on saturated, omega 6, seafood omega 3, plant omega 3, and trans fats, and dietary cholesterol.
(B ) The frequency distribution of the number of isolates in which each var type was identified, obtained by assuming a total var richness of ∼369, as estimated in (Chen et al., 2011 ).
Though HHT representations are more meaningful physically, yet they are less suitable for signals possessing close frequency components as well as identifying obtaining transition times for sudden waveform changes [83].
Once the eligible participants were identified, obtaining informed consent was met with potential ethical concerns.
Indeed, currently, the greatest problem when developing a serological assay is identifying, obtaining and preparing a suitable antigen.
Four hundred and six articles met the selection criteria for the period 2000-2008, and were added to the 71 studies previously identified, obtaining a total sample of 477 studies (see additional file 2: "Flow diagram of systematic review to identify eligible studies") [ 2].
