Therefore, while the nonrandom phylogenetic sensitivity pattern we found does not principally exclude recent rapid evolution of resistance to man-made toxins by natural selection, we do not think that it is the most parsimonious explanation for our data.
The function of the shoulder girdle particularly in relation to the sternoclavicular and the acromioclavicular joints was carefully evaluated, as well as the function of the whole upper limb, principally to exclude potential neurologic or vascular lesions.
Insisting on two abnormal OGTT values for the diagnosis of GDM limits GDM diagnoses, principally by excluding OAV women who are at similar risk of adverse outcomes.
Their referral is principally to exclude malignancy, and these patients are unlikely to have any detrimental impact on their HRQoL from their condition, other than concern about possible diagnoses, and the treatment is unlikely to change it.
Although we principally cannot exclude that NPs stayed on the epithelium being firmly bound to ECs and were not accessible to lavage, it appears unlikely that the NPs continue to remain attached on the epithelium for as long as 6 months.
The current clinical role of C-peptide in predicting treatment response is principally to exclude severe endogenous insulin deficiency in insulin-treated patients when considering insulin withdrawal or when considering the addition of therapies dependant on endogenous insulin for their action.
Minor anomalies are excluded principally according to the exclusion list of the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies, EUROCAT [ 27].
We included studies of people with uncomplicated hypertension and excluded those principally (over 50%) of people with existing cardiovascular disease or diabetes or who were pregnant.
Children were also excluded due principally to the large number of tests that needed to be performed on limited material, but also because prognostically significant Pgp overexpression is uncommon in pediatric cases.
Using a multi-factorial design we selectively excluded vertebrate predators (principally carnivores and raptors) and a large small mammal herbivore, the degu (Octodon degus), from replicated 0.56 ha exclosures located in a valley near the coast in Bosque Fray Jorge National Park.
