In the other study, with Chamaedorea alternans, resource allocation to defense was assessed only qualitatively (presence or absence of secondary compounds) [10], [31], [32].
The RV function was assessed only qualitatively and graded subjectively by two-dimensional mode using the same classification described for LV function.
The finding that men in the top PA quartile had 29% lower cancer mortality accords with a previous study, which during 17.7 years of follow-up (2039 cancer deaths) observed a significant protective effect (20%) of combined leisure-time and occupational PA on cancer mortality comparing the highest vs the lowest PA category (Hu et al, 2005), but assessed only qualitatively (low, medium, high).
Activity levels were only qualitatively assessed.
However, we only qualitatively assessed the staining profile without further quantification.
Spontaneous cough occurring during the two treatment periods was only qualitatively assessed, as the prevalence was expected to be low or very low.
All the morphological features previously discussed are preserved and only a moderate increase of the superficial gloss and of the colour saturation can be qualitatively assessed (Fig. 4, specimens labelled P).
Patient insights were used in the development of the SLEQOL, although only by means of ranking items in order of importance; the face validity was not qualitatively assessed.
In addition, qualitative data on patients' satisfaction with the U-CARE program will be qualitatively assessed.
After a stringent wash protocol, slides were apposed to autoradiography film and hybridization density was qualitatively assessed.
The viability of MSCs within PRP and PRP-SF bioscaffolds at different time points was qualitatively assessed by fluorescence microscopy after staining with LIVE/DEAD® Viability/Cytotoxicity Kit.
