We modified it by omitting the Glasgow coma score because the patients were unconscious under general anesthesia.
All four later developed scoring systems only marginally modified the parameters by omitting a single parameter or including vacuolization as an additional marker (Table 7).
To resolve this problem, we suggest a modified expression distance by omitting the overdispersion effects, that is, (8) Though U* XY tends to overestimate the expression distance, one can show that U* XY satisfies the "four-point condition" (Gu and Li 1996).
Therefore, we modified the standard concomitant therapy by omitting clarithromycin and designed a randomized study to compare the performance of two rescue regimens: RBTM (rabeprazole, bismuth subcitrate, tetracycline, and metronidazole) and RATM (rabeprazole, amoxicillin, tetracycline, and metronidazole).
The original 6-item scale was slightly modified into a 5-item scale by omitting the first two items and adding one extra item about the use of breathing techniques as a way to deal with unpleasant symptoms (Elzen et al., evaluation of the CDSMP among chronically ill elderly people in the Netherlands, submitted).
Counting the neutrophils as a parameter of the Alvarado Scale is not routine in many laboratories, so we decided to evaluate the diagnostic value of the Modified Alvarado Scaling System (MASS) by omitting the neutrophil count and ultrasonography.
We have modified the original symptom reporting instrument SHC by omitting musculoskeletal-related symptoms.
But when health input prices are modified by individual regional migration, the regional prices no longer satisfy the requirement of being independent of preferences and omitted variables.
Indeed, in real-world practice, FOLFIRINOX is frequently modified to a less aggressive regimen, such as by omitting bolus 5-FU or reducing the dose of oxaliplatin and irinotecan.
Temperatures are often modified by sea winds.
