Strengths of the present study included the detailed evaluation of cognition, repeated cognitive testing over time, and careful testing of socioeconomic variables.
The limitation of the present study included the small sample size, the lack of evaluation of vitamin K intake and serum vitamin K levels, and the evaluation of marker levels at a single time point.
Limitations of the present study include the absence of a younger patient group aged,65 years for comparative evaluation of the effect of age on morbidity and mortality.
Other limitations to the present study include the lack of data regarding TBI history in the non-CTE cases under evaluation.
The key contributions of the present study include the following.
Examples presented in their study include the evaluation of therapeutic response in bone marrow during cytotoxic therapy for leukemia and metastatic prostate cancer, and during cytokine administration for marrow mobilization prior to stem cell harvest [ 17].
The present study included an evaluation of the potential effect of fibrin sealant not only on blood loss but also on functional parameters important for early recovery.
Furthermore, the evaluation protocol used in the present study included four variables to evaluate the size of VESC (i.e. volume, maximum height, endplate area, and anteroposterior diameter).
The present study includes: (a) evaluation and comparison of the current analytical models used for estimating the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete and conventional concrete, and (b) proposing new models for the mechanical properties of both self-compacting and conventional concrete mixtures.
In particular, a single study has previously evaluated the BC + EMD combination vs. BC in sinus lift, but due to the fact that only radiographic analysis was performed, the results were unclear [14]; thus, the present study, including histological evaluation, was performed.
The face stimuli used in the present study included some variations in visual information for emotional valence evaluation, which in turn would lead to different demands for different face stimuli.
