Total Erk1/Erk2 served as loading controls; we have found these proteins to be particularly suitable and preferable as loading controls because they are invariant in MVECs under a variety of experimental conditions [61], [62].
"We have never discussed this," writes Frances, of her friend Olivia's dislike of another woman, Alix, and fondness for Alix's husband Nick, "because on some matters reticence is preferable, particularly when feelings are liable to change.
Thus, compared to reconstructions with cement or metal augmentations, the restoration of the bone stock with IBG is preferable, particularly in younger patients if a further revision in future is considered likely.
In specific circumstances, a continuous doctor-patient relationship is definitely preferable, particularly in fields such as Family Medicine and Psychiatry.
Cell isolation requires the invasive harvesting of venous or arterial vessel segments before scaffold seeding, a technique that may not be preferable, particularly in pediatric patients.
Earlier drug susceptibility testing would be preferable particularly for patients with positive CSF PCR cultures.
Less invasive options were preferable, particularly for patients who had multiple medical problems, or were elderly and poor surgical risks.
4 In clinical situations where less frequent vaginal administration of misoprostol may be preferable, particularly in settings with intensive monitoring facilities, 50 µg vaginal misoprostol tablets may be a reasonable treatment of choice.
Alternative modeling approaches such as nonlinear mixed effect models may be preferable, particularly given the potential for ORs to overestimate relative risks for common outcomes (e.g., the 42% implantation failure in our study population), but they could not be applied given the limited sample size.
