These case-patients were not included in this report because of inadequate laboratory confirmation for 1 patient and lack of a strict travel limitation for the other patient.
Five institutions in the current study that had inadequate MRSA confirmation procedures according to the survey conducted in 2000 had rates of HA-MRSA that were comparable to institutions with adequate procedures for confirmation of MRSA.
In the face of powerful emotions, our own words may seem hollow and inadequate, while the confirmation that people in the past felt as we now feel holds solace.
If the diagnostic laparoscopy was inadequate for histologic confirmation of metastatic disease, the diagnostic laparoscopy was considered to be non-informative and the subsequent pathway was assumed to be as for direct laparotomy but also incurring the costs of the diagnostic laparoscopy procedure.
For those patients with inadequate cytological aspirates, histological confirmation of the diagnosis was obtained with primary tumour biopsy.
Current observations suggest that parasitologic confirmation tests of inadequate sensitivity lead to suboptimal effectiveness of HAT active case-finding programs (4 ).
Many countries report only clinical cases without laboratory confirmation and there are inadequate data to guide control programs in many countries.

Although these authors differed on many points, they shared the view that standard logical-empiricist accounts of confirmation, theory, and other topics were quite inadequate to explain the major transitions that have occurred in the history of the sciences.
Direct bacterial confirmation by culture is difficult because of inadequate anaerobic culture, prior antibiotic therapy or overgrowth of concomitant organisms.
Each Signos scan was graded as excellent (high level of correlation with Sonosite), adequate (slightly less informative but enough to proceed), marginal (confirmation with Sonosite was useful and provided necessary information), or poor (inadequate to proceed without additional imaging).
