Such complicating background factors may have implications for investigations, such as that by Elliot and co-workers in the previous issue of Critical Care [ 8], as it is difficult to know the 'normal' sleep pattern of any patient and, consequently, in sleep research examining hospital populations, the choice of control group is a challenge.
It is well known that platelets increase clot elasticity in normal physiology since they make up approximately 80%% of a thrombus; consequently any alterations in the membrane characteristics (such as elasticity) of the platelets will affect the formed thrombus as well [ 35].
By this time rock successions were being defined according to fauna they contained, and the relative time scale, which was being erected, was based on the principle of faunal succession; consequently, any major hiatus or change in faunal character was bound to be interpreted as important.
This leads to insufficient evaluation of the results, most of which are consequently of limited significance.
None of these criteria could fit any of our patients; consequently, we suggest that, if the cyst's transverse diameter on radiographic examination is equal to or more than three times the diameter of the adjacent normal bone, we can call it giant ABC; in this case, it can be treated by resection and fibular strut graft.
Bats accounted for 30% of exposures, more than any other group of animals; consequently, bats have replaced raccoons as the leading rabies exposure source to humans in this area.
"I despair of the term 'clean eating'...it necessarily implies that any other form of eating – and consequently the eater of it – is dirty or impure and thus bad".

It was hardly surprising that the manager's strike partnership, James McFadden and Kenny Miller, should suffer from a lack of service and, consequently, of genuine scoring opportunities.
Age and pubertal stage were not found to be significant predictors in any of the models, consequently the weight, sex and the resistance index were the only predictors included in model development.
