Interpretation of increased uptake was based on comparison with the contralateral bone or with the adjacent bone if both hands showed abnormality.
Chronic CT appearances of fibrosis and traction bronchiectasis in the radiation field allow correct interpretation of increased FDG uptake as radiation pneumonitis as opposed to disease recurrence [33, 34].
PET-CT was positive (clinical radiologist interpretation of increased bone uptake and/or evidence of lytic bone destruction) in 74 patients and negative in 114 patients.
A non-differential misclassification of antihistamine and skeletal muscle relaxant exposure produces a bias towards the null, potentially making our interpretation of increased risk of events more conservative [ 30].
Nonetheless, finding a significant increase of IRS at the single-subject level in most patients further supports the possible interpretation of increased cortical excitability in terms of neuroplasticity processes.
For example, Song et al. [ 30] suggest that one interpretation of increased radial diffusion measures in some populations, such as those with multiple sclerosis, may actually be a signal of dismyelination.
In this study, we show that patients with suspected SMM who have an abnormal PET-CT (clinical radiologist interpretation of increased bone uptake and/or evidence of lytic bone destruction) who are observed without therapy are at high risk (75%) of progression to MM within 2 years.
Given the general observation that a substantial proportion of protein divergence is adaptive in Drosophila (Smith and Eyre-Walker 2002; Fay et al. 2002; Begun et al. 2007; Langley et al. 2012), one interpretation of increased dN/ dS ratio on the X is more adaptive protein evolution on the X chromosome.
While the biological interpretation of increased neutrophil counts is not evident, Blay et al (1997) demonstrated that IL-6 associated neutrophilia in renal-cell carcinoma could be decreased via the suppression of IL-6 or IL-6-associated paraneoplastic inflammatory syndrome in renal carcinoma.
To aid interpretation of increases or decreases in probability of hookah use, conditional marginal effects were calculated using the LSMEANS (least squares means) statement in the PROC SURVEYLOGISTIC procedure in SAS, using the "OM" (observed margins) along with the "ILINK" (inverse link) option.
