This paper is motivated by a randomized controlled trial to compare an endovascular procedure with conventional medical treatment for stroke patients, in which the endovascular procedure may be effective only in a subgroup of patients.
The aim of this study was to define a scheme for multiplex molecular serotyping of L. monocytogenes based on a previously described PCR assay and then to evaluate and compare this new procedure with conventional serotyping by agglutination.
Because of the procedures' compatibility with conventional MEMS construction processes, the design can be integrated during MEMS processing to enable electronic properties of the 3C-SiC film to be characterised simultaneously.
The advantages of reverse transfection [17] procedures, compared with conventional transfection methods, include reduced labor, the use of fewer materials, and the ability to perform high-throughput screening.
In these procedures, venography with conventional contrast is performed to delineate the lesion and to determine the amount of sclerosing agent and then foam sclerosing agent is introduced.
In order to compare our own previously reported group (n=25, ETT group) of realtime ultrasound guided BPT procedures with a conventional ETT in place, we changed the protocol to preprocedural LMA ventilation in another group of critically ill patients (n=12, LMA group) scheduled for tracheostomy.
Previous biomechanical basic studies and clinical results have demonstrated the advantages of this procedure compared with conventional ACL reconstruction technique.
Consequently, further investigations involving suitable conditions for clinical plaque control in a larger number of subjects and for a longer trial duration are required to confirm the safe and effective aPDT procedure compared with conventional treatments.
