Prognostic biomarkers in a disease provide information regarding outcome irrespective of therapy.
Hence, all cold-acclimated pupae were regarded as ND5, irrespective of the duration of acclimation.
To maximise consistency of scoring, only nuclei having moderate or strong staining were regarded as positive, irrespective of cytoplasmic staining.
Cases showing pErbB2 immunoreactivity in >10%percentt of cancer cells were regarded as positive irrespective of subcellular localization.
10, 19 Total power was included to rule out the resting (standing) period from FOG (ie, a low total power indicates that the patient is not moving at all; therefore, it cannot be regarded as FOG irrespective of FI).
According to the NCEP ATP III criteria, when a patient is on drug treatment for a specific MetS component (antihypertensive drug treatment, blood glucose lowering treatment or treatment with a fibrate or nicotinic acid for a reduced HDL cholesterol or an increased triglyceride level) this component should be regarded as present, irrespective of the actual level of the component [ 15].
