In our matched controls, we observed no significant effect of acidemia, alkalemia, lactic acidosis and net metabolic acidosis, respectively, on 28-day mortality.
Significantly higher cumulative incidence of ischaemic stroke in the PHDs group than in the matched controls was observed by Kaplan-Meier analysis (Fig. 1).
For 84 out of 104 probes (81%) with statistically significant differential expression between twins with an SAID and unrelated, matched controls, we observed that gene expression values of unaffected twins are positioned between affected twins and unrelated controls, suggesting that unaffected twins may represent an intermediate or transitional state of disease development.
Participants with oesophageal cancer and their matched controls were observed for an average of almost eight years, and we had enough cases and controls with 10 or more bisphosphonate prescriptions to allow analysis by number of prescriptions and estimated duration of use.
To conclude, we evaluated the prevalence of independent risk factors for HIV infection before and after incarceration among active IDU, and, after comparison with a matched control group, observed a statistically significant relationship between syringe sharing and the post-release period.
However, when the WS cells were compared with their matched controls (Control 2) we observed low fluorescence and a high nuclear signal which indicates a GSH influx from the cytosol to the nucleus in WS, but not in AWS.
We compared the frequency of CBS 844ins68, MTR 2756A>G, RFC-1 80G> A and TC 776C>G polymorphisms among 114 case mothers and 110 matched controls, in order to observe whether these variants act as risk factors for DS.
An increased GSSG/GSH ratio was observed for all progeroid fibroblast lines when compared with their matched controls; the highest ratio was observed in a WRN1 patient, indicating a more oxidative environment in this cell line.
Similarly, in a sample of subjects presenting a BMI > 35 (i.e., obese), a lifestyle intervention (including an aerobic exercise program) resulted in morning cortisol being greater than that observed in matched controls at both 0 h and + 0.5 h, although neither the treatment nor control group showed a significant change from their respective pre-intervention values [53].
A smaller increase was observed for matched controls (table 2, fig 3 ).
Compared with results in matched controls, Nicholson et al. observed an increase in 5-year survival from 55%to80%0% following intraperitoneal administration of Y-labelled HMFG1 in patients with ovarian cancer in complete remission after chemotherapy [ 73].
