However, we were unable to detect statistically significant differences in wear rates between surface/subsurface measurements or superior/inferior measurements when controlling for sterilization environment and aging conditions (P > 0.05).
The correlations between measurements increased slightly when controlled for heart rate, with r values for HF (0.66), LF (0.65), SDNN (0.66).
The multitude of factors affecting SUV measurements when not controlled inflicts noise on the data.
When controlling for measurement equivalence, gender differences are greatest in Germany and Italy and comparably lower in France and the Netherlands.
In our study, it provided evidence of a slightly greater effect of PM10 than that reported previously by NMMAPS, when controlling for measurement error in other pollutants, and suggested that greater attention be paid to CO and possibly traffic pollution.
Furthermore, the non-significant planned pair wise comparisons suggested that the treatment was without added value when controlling for repeated measurements and spontaneous remission by the use of a control condition.
CONCLUSIONS: Serum fructosamine levels may be considered as an appropriate laboratory measurement when monitoring long-term glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and sickle cell disease.
The survey shows significant interobserver and interlaboratory variation in measurement when examining the same echoes and indicates a need for ongoing education, quality control and standardization of measurement criteria.
In the 150 and 300 mg/kg/d EPF group receiving passive smoking, greater osteoblast surface per bone surface was noted, but there was no significant difference in the other bone histomorphometry measurements, when compared to the control group.
When control radon concentrations were computed, it was found that house and bungalow measurements were greater than those of flats/maisonettes (17.1 and 9.5 Bq m−3 respectively).
