These devices were undependable, lacked sufficient sensitivity, and required constant adjustment of the whisker-to-crystal contact to produce the desired result.
This approach was labour intensive and often lacked sufficient sensitivity.
Attempts to measure biomarkers from peripheral sites such as the blood or stool may or may not be reflective of the oesophageal mucosal microenvironment, and EoE studies to date have lacked sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be clinically useful.
A third testable explanation for the absence of overtly negative automatic associations in women with dyspareunia might be that the current version of the sex-AST lacked sufficient sensitivity.
We found no significant difference in light touch response between the ptrn-1 tm5597) ptrn-1 tm5597ld-type animutantrown in the andence of colchicine, though our assay may have lacked sufficient sensitivity to parse subtle differences.
However, as recently shown in a review of biomarkers in sepsis, of the 178 biomarkers identified, many lacked sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be reliably applied in clinical practice [ 4].
We also found a number of genes that had weak to no staining at E7.5, but that showed endoderm expression at E8.5 (Cd276, Galt, Gpx2, Pla2g7, Raet1e, Wfdc2; Additional File 3); because the E7.5 microarray screen detected these genes as being significantly reduced, we took this to mean the in situ hybridization lacked sufficient sensitivity at this earlier stage.
Single biomarkers identified thus far lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity and it is likely that multiple markers will need to be employed simultaneously.
The Pap test lacks sufficient sensitivity to reliably detect endometrial cancer or its precursors, but it may help to reveal the presence of endometrial cells on a smear of a post-menopausal woman not taking exogenous hormones.
Part of the big problem of figuring out when it's safe for an athlete to return to play is our tests lack sufficient sensitivity to tell us that a person is completely recovered".
