The Trail Bridge Building Programme (TBBP) in Nepal developed a suspension bridge with a maximum use of locally available construction materials, constructed through a labour-intensive approach, thus aiming at maximisation of the socio-economic effects.
This is a labour-intensive approach requiring skilled cytopathologists, gastroenterologists and radiologists.
Moreover, this technique remains a labour-intensive approach, requiring several different experiments for high-throughput studies.
PCR methods offer a less labour-intensive approach than culture, rapid turnaround time, and are amenable to automation.
Only a limited number of single nucleotide polymorphisms and repeat differences could be investigated by this labour-intensive approach.
For more complex problems, an asynchronous virtual MDT [ 23] might offer a more flexible and less labour-intensive approach than weekly face-to-face meetings.
The labour-intensive approach is most suited in a critical care setting for children already diagnosed of CNS involvement because it requires the use of expensive and sophisticated device, and close monitoring for the heart rate abnormalities.
Meta-ethnography is a labour-intensive approach: Britten and Pope [ 37] estimated that one of their research group's meta-ethnographies of around 40 papers took experienced reviewers 18 months part-time to conduct.
