Through scrutiny of abstracts, almost a third appeared eligible for inclusion; after examination of full versions, 140 were included.
GPs have also been shown not to value inclusion of examination technique or details of contrast media used [30].
By use of IHC, the eosinophilic cytoplasmic granules seen in infected epithelial cells were proven to be viral inclusions (Guarnieri-like inclusions), and EM examination corroborated these findings.
Some special requirements are password-controlled access, applicability of most commercially available PCs and laptops equipped with standard software (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0), central evaluation of the students' performance, inclusion of an examination part, provision of a picture gallery and a comprehensive glossary accessible in the learning mode.
Prior to inclusion a physical examination was performed on all dogs and results of a complete blood count and serum chemistry were evaluated.
This association has implications for the design of screening programmes, as inclusion of physical examination in the assessment process provides an additional safety net in avoiding false negative assessment results.
Twenty-three of them did not meet inclusion criteria at examination, 17 were excluded due to; treatment in progress (n = 3), severe disorders (n = 9) or unemployment (n = 5) and 18 declined to participate.
At inclusion, a physical examination was performed and blood samples were taken to determine CRP, immunoglobulin (Ig) M rheumatoid factor (RF; by ELISA) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) 2 antibodies (Immunoscan RA Mark 2; Euro-Diagnostica, Arnhem, the Netherlands).
