To minimize heterogeneity by collection site, biopsies were taken at the base of the umbilical cord insertion, measuring roughly 1 cm deep and 1 – 2 cm across, and were placed immediately in RNAlater (Life Technologies).
Biopsies were taken at the base of the umbilical cord insertion, measuring roughly 1 cm deep to ensure the tissue was of fetal origin, and 1 2 cm across, and were immersed immediately in RNAlater (Life Technologies) and placed at — 80 °C for long-term storage.
But he pledged that "insertion measures" would be "progressively" applied.
Checklists for insertion measures were used in 19 institutions (73%), of which 16 were teaching hospitals (p = 0.01).
After adjusting for the number of hospital beds and teaching status, the effect of compliance monitoring for CVC insertion measures remained significantly associated with a greater decrease in CLABSI rates (p = 0.036).
In adult ICUs, there was a statistically significant greater decrease in CLABSI rates in ICUs that monitored compliance to preventive insertion measures, after adjusting for teaching status and the number of hospital beds (p = 0.036).
The time required for gastric tube insertion was measured with a stopwatch, from the time of insertion of the video laryngoscope into the mouth to confirmation of successful placement of the gastric tube.
The time required for gastric tube insertion was measured with a stopwatch, from the time of starting transnasal insertion of the gastric tube to confirmation of successful placement.
Finally, to investigate any correlation between TM helix folding and insertion we measured the efficiency of membrane integration of these sequences into microsomal membranes.
The insertion was measured by fluorescence quenching by iodide and the photosensitization efficiency was measured with 9,10-dimethylanthracene, a fluorescent chemical target for singlet oxygen.
