Business surveys point to better morale, but improvements in hard data are modest at best, highlighted by this week's unexpected decline in July industrial production in the euro zone.
Although the DAS28 remained high, suggesting only a modest clinical improvement, these data are consistent with a resistant cohort and mimic the published trial data that formed the basis for the approval of abatacept and rituximab in TNF blockade failures.
It is however important to point out that this study has its limitations: the sample size is rather modest, the food intake data are based on personal food questionnaires which are prone to underreporting, and the researchers do not substantially control for the overall balance of the diet, as people who eat much animal protein tend to consume less fruit or vegetables for example.
Because this approach recovers sequences that are hundreds of base pairs in length from hundreds to thousands of loci, even with modest levels of variation the data are appropriate for addressing questions at low taxonomic levels.
In addition, there are modest data that probiotics are effective in the treatment of mild acute pouchitis.
However, only a modest fraction of their specimen data are digitally available to the scientific community, educators, and policy-makers, and many herbaria have not yet begun digitization.
Diffraction data were collected to 1.20 Å resolution, although the completeness of the data is modest in the outer shell: X-ray data are 55.5% complete between 1.24 and 1.20 Å, 74.9% complete between 1.29 and 1.24 Å, and >95% complete between 1.29 and 15.0 Å (Table 1).
Models with modest data fit were modified by allowing correlation of error terms with the largest modification indices (>10) to improve goodness of fit statistics.
It is unlikely that match competition substantially interfered with the comparisons discussed below, given that its effects on sleep were modest and sleep data were collected by both teams on match days and non-match days at both altitudes.
A related concern is whether the qPCR data are sufficient to support the claim that the reprogrammed cells are pluripotent, since the levels of induction you observe are modest compared with data from human and mouse cells.
