Further studies incorporating serial sampling of LH are needed to explore these possibilities.
The case studies employed a qualitative methodology incorporating serial narrative interviews to present an experience-based overview of concepts of disease causation, self-treatment, and coping.
Whether incorporating serial measurements of inflammatory response mediators and physiologic data into SMART models improves predictive accuracy in septic surgical patients is not clear from the present data.
The result was tentative, with the vocal line a sort of expressionist sprechstimme (a cross between speaking and singing) that sounded rather bland, especially in Hamlet's tortured soliloquy from Act I, Scene 2. But the quartet writing, which incorporates serial techniques, is richly scored.
Characterisation of cumulative inflammation (which incorporates serial measurements of inflammatory markers) might be a better indicator of the patient's overall inflammatory burden and subsequent risk of developing vascular abnormalities [ 10].
More personalized and intensive comprehensive studies that incorporate serial testing of the response to candidate agents and include the use of novel approaches for primary cell culture, both epithelial and stromal, as well as evaluation of systemic factors such as immune response, may be required.
Other HCQ studies involving malignancies with more accessible tumors such as multiple myeloma and melanoma have incorporated serial tumor biopsies that can be compared with PBMC to determine the degree of agreement between tumor and surrogate tissue with regard to the EM-based assay (Rangwala, et al., this issue ; Vogl et al., this issue ; Mahalingam et al., this issue ).
The author talks about primary and recency effects but sometimes people even fail to incorporate serial position effects when making memorability judgments, albeit when studying lists of words (e.g., Castel, 2008), or fail to consider the effects that long retention interval have on memory (see much of Asher Koriat's work), even when we might be explicitly aware of these issues in other contexts.
In the model incorporating latent serial correlation but no trend, it is interesting that although the parameter which controls the dependence does not have a marked effect on the model (as judged by the fact that the credible interval contains 0) the posterior mean for α in all cases, though small, is positive.
As expected there were problems with convergence for many of the models including both terms; we therefore do not include the DICs from models incorporating latent serial correlation together with a linear trend in Table 3 because they are likely to be unreliable.
These findings suggest that clinical physicians, particularly cardiologists, should incorporate the serial estimation of GFR in order to optimize the results of treatment in CHF.
