Lt. Col. Laura Pacha, a 1998 graduate serving as an Army medical officer in Iraq, described a crippled medical education system and inadequate reference libraries.
Furthermore we demonstrated that normalising using an inadequate reference conveyed into false negative and positive results.
However, the use of inadequate reference genes may lead to errors in interpretation and misinterpretation of data on expression levels (Amil-Ruiz et al. 2013).
I'd like to suggest that the current practice of finding fault based on "inadequate reference to the literature" be strongly discouraged.
There are no inadequate reference standards in the diagnostic process of neuroblastoma.
Approximately one-quarter of the excluded lesions were device-related (inadequate reference measurement quality or general device failures).
Sample processing delays before results are available result in an inadequate reference on which to base adjustment of sedation.
Several methodological shortcomings were identified, of which spectrum bias, bias due to the use of an inadequate reference standard and verification bias may seriously have affected the results.
