Assuming that the primary efficacy measure was as sensitive as the outcome measure of the referenced trial, 86 patients per group were required to detect such an effect size with a power of 90%% at the two-sided significance level of 5%%.
Suk says nanobiosensors could potentially measure processes as sensitive as the flux of calcium ions inside a cell.
While these measures are not as sensitive as disease-specific measures (Ostendorf et al. 2004), they do contain common osteoarthritis characteristics such as pain, activities of daily living, and mobility, while at the same time retaining the option of detecting unexpected correlations in other dimensions such as anxiety and depression.
Our a priori expectation was that quantitative measures would be as sensitive as NPx to PNS effects.
Furthermore, an optimal sensor placement method is proposed so that (1) the measured data are as sensitive as possible with respect to updating parameters and (2) the measured data are as robust as possible with respect to position/orientation uncertainties.
This study demonstrates that although clinic-based medication measures may not be as sensitive as unannounced home-based measures or MEMS monitoring to detect poor adherence, they are still strongly predictive of virologic response.
To prevent further spreading of the causative agent during a mass outbreak especially in semi closed communities, such as hospitals and nursing homes, an immediate application of hygiene measures as well as rapid and sensitive diagnostics are needed.
One of the other measures, LS, should be at least as sensitive as PL and thus should not be affected severely either.
On the other hand, the assumption of the Rayleigh distribution and GGD is good enough for permutation correction with mutual information and the modified Jensen-Rényi divergence, since these distance measures are not as sensitive to the inter frequency-bin pdf perturbations as the generalized Rényi divergence.
In a random urine specimen taken at the same time with the creatinine blood sample, ET-1 expressed ET-1 expressedrasio) and N-acreatinineglucosaminidase (NAG- expratiod andcreatinine ratio), was measured as a sensitive marker of tubular damage.
