The particularity of this study stems from the fact that although all patients were initially evaluated by a surgical team, the therapy was always established by a joint team surgeon - gastroenterologist – infectionist.
Another particularity of this study is the use of a hermetic reactor with gas purging cycles.
The particularity of this study is that patients were treated with high flux membrane and investigated also with DRE, TRUS and in the case of positivity to first level diagnostic tests were performed also CT and MRI.
One of the particularities of this study was the occurrence of rotavirus in 2.5% of the stool samples without diarrhea, contrary to the findings of Borges et al. (2011) [ 21] that found no rotavirus among non-diarrhea stool samples.
Furthermore, an additional particularity of the PIAAC study should be mentioned.
The particularities of this study are long injection periods, allowing estimating permeability stabilisation times, and pressure measurements in intermediate core points, permitting for evaluation of the permeability profile variation along the core.
The particularity of our study is that the investigations were carried out on freshly deposited aluminum films, whose structure has not been subjected to changes by annealing, aging, or chemical surface treatment.
One particularity of our study is the prior training of a large number of nurses to perform microvascular monitoring.
Although these characteristics are very similar to those of the country as a whole, this particularity may limit extrapolation of the study results.
The reason for that discrepancy may be associated with the methodological particularities of the various studies, including shift regimen (permanent or rotating), ECG signal processing (application of Task Force guidelines), and sample characteristics, including age and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors.
