In this study three implants were investigated and compared to our previous study using the same experimental setup and protocol, thus comparing the static and fatigue fixation stability provided by the following five different medial open-wedge HTO plates: the TomoFix std plate, the PEEK Power plate, the iBalance implant, the Contour Lock HTO plate and the TomoFix sm plate.
This is in line with a previous study using the same experimental PA model [16], in which ABR's peak I (acoustic nerve) and peak II (cochlear nucleus) were not significantly different from controls.
Data from the community sample of elderly persons (n = 99) had been collected in a previous study using the same experimental methods [ 19].
Subject randomization was effective, with entry and basal values equivalent in both groups and comparable to a previous study using the same experimental design and centers [ 46].
In contrast, a previous study using the same experimental design found much less sex-biased expression in the brain, where only 0.8% of the genes differed in expression between the sexes (Catalán et al. 2012).
In our previous study using the same experimental system, we have shown that augmentation of cough reflex sensitivity induced by single OVA inhalation is preserved during 48 h in OVA sensitized guinea pigs [ 23].
In this study the static and the fatigue strength of the size 2 Activmotion plate was investigated and compared with our previous studies using the same experimental setting and protocol.
Since previous studies using the D5 experimental metastases model documented that CD8+ T cells were the dominant mechanism for eliminating tumor when endogenous tumor vaccine-primed T cells were used for adoptive immunotherapy, we focused on the effect CD4+ T cells had on the CD8+ T cells 7, 35.
Importantly, previous studies using the same model of experimental knee pain have demonstrated an immediate decrease in quadriceps peak torque [ 23, 24], voluntary activation [ 24] and H-reflex amplitude [ 24] during pain.
We therefore, in line with previous studies using this experimental system considered these distinct asexual lineages to be equivalent to species (for example see [2], [19]).
