We considered other categorizations, including quartiles and quintiles, but results were similar regardless of the categorization used (results not shown).
Based on our results, we speculate that the inhibitory effects of phenolic compounds is a function of the combination of the occurrence of functional side groups (such as the methoxy and hydroxyl groups) and occurrence of unsaturated bonds in the structure of the compounds regardless of the categorization of the compounds as aldehydes, acid, alcohols or ketones.
This held true regardless of functional categorization.
Moreover, the mean FM values attained at three and five months by all infants, regardless of group categorization, were comparable to those of full term breastfed infants [29].
We found consistent reductions in length of gestation related to PCB exposure, regardless of exposure categorization (Table 5).
Regardless of our categorization, all groups of dogs showed an ability to rely on the human momentary distal pointing.
As shown in animal studies and in human tumors, this response occurs within days of initiating therapy and appears to be a relatively common response to therapy, regardless of pathologic categorization of the tumor.
The scatterplots for the PM2.5 data illustrate good correlations for the mean daily " Indoors-at-home" concentrations regardless of which categorization method is used, perhaps because potentially misclassified peaks of exposure are relatively unimportant to overall averages and are "washed out" due to the longer time spent at home.
Regardless of the appropriate categorization of this factor, or why the clinicians are behind schedule, there was a strong correlation between those physicians who reported being behind schedule and several key practices that our organization is trying to promote, including accepting safety alerts, looking up information on specific medications, and using on-line reference information.
Last, our study findings remained consistent regardless of PCB grouping suggesting that categorization did not drive our results.
