When maximizing sensitivity for detecting cost studies, the single term "exp economic aspect" produced the highest sensitivity at 98.9% with a specificity of 93.1%.
From consensus criteria (Litvan et al., 1996 a, d, 2003) we derived simplified operational diagnostic criteria suitable for large-scale clinical trials, with the aim of maximizing sensitivity for recruitment.
We decided to search for eligible articles including images by searching all the articles of a specific year one-by-one by hand, so as to maximize sensitivity for finding the eligible articles.
In both the elevated plus maze and the light-dark exploration test, light levels were very low (see methods for details) in an attempt to maximize sensitivity for detecting potential anxiogenic effects of mGluR5 haploinsufficiency (we hypothesized that anxiety-related phenotypes may track with the OSS data).
For all analytes, the ICP MS was run in collision-reaction cell mode with pure H2 as the cell gas to maximize sensitivity for Se determination.
We chose this approach to maximize sensitivity for estimating the relative impact of a lifestyle intervention on changes in all three risk factors combined, not to provide absolute risk estimates.
Please note that our use of an occipital surface coil, in order to maximize sensitivity for visual cortex, inevitably meant that we could not record attention-related and/or TMS-related signals in more anterior structures, such as frontal cortex.
Our approach to analysis of microarray data is to try to maximize sensitivity for detection of differences between experimental groups, and accuracy of estimation of absolute methylation fraction is, if anything, secondary.
Since the trial uses a bivalent HPV-16/18 HPV-16/18o maximize sensitivacciner toese types, all specimaximizet tesensitivityve by SPfor DEIA butheseatypesfor HPV-16 or HPV-18 by LiPall were tespecimensthatpresence of HPV-16 and HPV-18 using testedpositivePCR primers set, as previously describyd [ 13, 14].
Our dye-transfer assays used high concentrations of Lucifer Yellow VS to maximize sensitivity for detection of astrocytic coupling and to more easily count labelled cells in brain slices, since dye-labelled nuclei are more prominent with Lucifer Yellow VS compared with Lucifer Yellow CH.
Therefore, we propose a combination of different techniques for maximizing sensitivity and specificity, for a safe and reliable diagnosis: for CL, when MST is positive and parasitological analysis is negative (or is not performed), qPCR and/or FC could be employed as complementary investigation.
