We reasoned that, in order to establish interoception in tinnitus as a valid and meaningful construct, effect sizes should be comparable to, for example, panic disorder.
Since oxidative stress is implicated in the pathophysiology of dementia, the findings of this study may substantiate the value of scopolamine-induced amnesia in rats as a valid animal model to screen for drugs with potential therapeutic benefit in dementia.
Simulation training is established in healthcare as a valid teaching modality for students, trainees and multiprofessional groups [ 15].
Epidemiologic studies commonly use mercury (Hg) level in hair as a valid proxy to estimate human exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) through fish consumption.
Based on the results of this study, the PPAM can be used in practice as a valid measure of sitting posture.
The present study contributes to provide even more information on clinical experience with pemetrexed and further prospective randomized clinical trials will confirm pemetrexed (single agent or in combination) as a valid option for pretreated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients.
The first version of the questionnaire, called the General Practice Assessment Survey GPASS), was developed in 1997 as a valid, easy to use measure of patients' perceptions of the following critical aspects of general practice: availability and accessibility of care; technical and interpersonal competence (both of GPs and practice nurses); coordination and continuity of care [ 11].
We define a rooted directed spanning tree or an arborescence over a o-SCC (U_{mathcal{G}} in mathcal{G} ) as a valid rooted directed tree in (mathcal{G} ) rooted at (r) which spans all the vertices in (U_{mathcal{G}}); thus, all the nodes except the root has one and only one incoming arc.
The linear model of TV-DCO in (4) was also widely adopted in literatures [28 36] as a valid approximation of TV-DCO at output of HPF.
Award of full accreditation status in health care is viewed, as it is in other sectors, as a valid indicator of high quality organisational performance.
The electrocardiogram, the written record of a heartbeat, is used in clinical practice for diagnosis and prognosis, but also in clinical trials, as a valid, reliable, repeatable, quantitative method, inexpensive and unbiased by clinical information [ 14].
