Finally, although we used two different ways to identify the information gap (i.e., female physicians, female relatives of physicians, and high SES women) and obtained consistent findings, our study may still suffer from potential endogeneity bias - the effects of a decline in fertility may not be comparable across the treatment and control groups.
This may have particular relevance in the clinical fMRI setting as discussed in recent studies [40] where obtaining consistent findings at the individual case level is most desirable.
In five out of the eight remaining cases, a third or fourth staining run was required to obtain consistent pathologic findings.
to obtain consistent results.
If consistent findings are obtained, this will enhance decision makers' confidence to act on evidence emerging from our studies.
This seems a fair assumption, given that consistent findings were obtained for similar activities using varied methods.
Consistent findings were obtained by Dot blot analyses of 8-OHdG immunoreactivity in nuclear extracts from the neocortex of Pex11β +/− mice (Fig. 6C).
Consistent findings were obtained as greater than 70% of invasive breast carcinomas expressed moderate to high levels of phosphorylated PDK-1, AKT, p70S6K, and EGFR.
Still, clear positive cross-sectional associations of the plasma and adipose tissue lipophilic index with triacylglycerol have been detected in earlier studies, whereas less consistent findings were obtained for inflammatory markers [ 11, 12].
In a recent randomized pilot study, Tröger et al. (2014) [ 102] have obtained findings consistent with those found by Piao et al. [ 69], wherein breast cancer patients who received Helixor A in addition to adjuvant CAF chemotherapy showed remarkable improvements of HRQoL.
Furthermore, the null finding of CRP haplotype and CIMT is replicable as consistent findings have been obtained from this UK study and studies in a US and Finnish population [22], [24].
