The major findings of this study concern the clear relationship between patient levels of fibrinogen binding to circulating platelets (platelet-Fg) measured upon ICU admission and sepsis occurrence, regardless of the patient's baseline clinical characteristics.
The major limitations of this study concern the limited dataset.
Furthermore, this study has not referred to the duration of a relationship, something we believe to be of major importance, since this study concerns adolescents experiencing victimization, and thus could lead to a lower probability of the victim accepting a conflictive relationship in the future.
As the major interest of our study concerned the different effect of medication or saline on painful stimulation, contrast images for every subject were generated to identify regions showing increased activation during painful stimulation compared to air puffs in medication vs. saline conditions [Saline session ("ammonia > air puffs") > Medication session ("ammonia > air puffs")].
A major limitation to this study concerns the characteristics of the study participants.
A major limitation of our study concerns the analysis of hypoglycaemia.
The second major finding of our study concerns the morphological evolution of the mass over time.
The major limitation of this study concerns the representativeness of the study samples as we included only MSM in two provinces where the SAHACOM, a comprehensive community-based HIV project, has been implemented for MSM.
The third major finding of this study concerns the pattern of protein tyrosine nitration, which is identical in normal kidney and in benign renal tumours, but completely different in malignant tumours.
The major strength of this study concerns the large sample size, having objective measures of fatty acid levels from the mother during pregnancy, and of the child at 7 years of age, availability of genetic markers related to the FADS 1, 2 and 3 genes, and the information on the diet of mother prenatally and of the child at various time points.
