Building on the few previous results on age-related changes of regional GM volumes as obtained from volumetric studies, we specifically expected that GM development of the amygdala (Mosconi et al. 2009; Schumann et al. 2004) and the caudate nucleus (McAlonan et al. 2002; Langen et al. 2009) would differ from controls.
Soluble iron III)–organic complexes have been detected electro-chemically[8, 11] or by other techniques[6, 50] in salt marsh sediments on a few previous occasions.
Both studies have been submitted for publication, and both are currently under review by the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB), which on a few previous occasions has been asked by scientists or journals to review papers that caused worries.
The authors were reliant on the few previous studies available regarding this area of research and for this reason, the feasibility study by Hassiotis et al. [ 35] was used as a guideline in calculating sample size requirement.
While there's little past polling on cabinet nominations, a few previous surveys on Supreme Court nominations suggest neither Democrats nor Republicans have held a consistent stance on whether the confirmation process should be driven purely by qualifications.
To evaluate this point, we selected papers by authors of the Boffetta et al. (2008) commentary on topics with relatively few previous publications and lack of consensus on causation to assess how these authors describe conclusions from their own data.
Although a fair amount of information is available on spore-macrophage interactions, there are few previous reports on the molecular mechanisms underlying the interactions between spores and lung epithelial cells.
Of the few previous studies on the effects of methylphenidate on male gonadal function, one shows results obtained using Wistar rats tested with increasing amounts of methylphenidate.
The use of curcumin in the treatment of psoriasis is essentially based on anecdotal reports; however, few previous studies investigated its efficacy in psoriasis patients.
The size of the dose and sampling protocols were chosen based on data from the few previous estimates of absorption, kinetics and turnover that used unlabelled and radiolabelled compounds in human subjects and animals, combined with compartmental modelling.
