On that evening it seemed impossible to imagine that such noise could be repeated, let alone bettered in the following days.
This may be due to repeated measurement alone, not due to any intervention.
However, the effect sizes indicated very large improvements by test norm standards that most likely could not fully be explained by effects of repeated testing alone.
Based on these data, it was suggested that repeated BCG alone may not be beneficial for the general population of NMIBC patients [54].
This study demonstrated that repeated assessment alone may be effective at reducing alcohol consumption, and this may be enhanced by participation in an intervention such as Unitcheck.
However, it is possible that repeated testing alone produced some change or that the participants were biased towards reporting improvements to please the researchers.
However, in earlier research using a similar training paradigm, it was demonstrated that there was substantial improvement in performance beyond that which could be attributed to repeated testing alone (Lesch 2003, 2008a).
No sham-injected contralateral joints were included in the current study for comparison of the effect of repeated arthrocentesis alone on SF marker levels versus the effect of LPS; however, multiple studies have previously shown the effects of LPS on SF parameters to far exceed that of saline injection, and thus probably that of arthrocentesis alone [ 19, 34].
10 In our case we chose to use ranibizumab since it has been designed for intraocular use; three intravitreal applications of ranibizumab, repeated monthly, alone without any additional session of PDT, were sufficient to cease the neovascularization during a follow-up time of 12 months.
The sequence analysis confirmed that this locus consists of repeats of the tetranucleotides cttt and cctt, but that the number of repeats of the cctt motif does not vary with the allele, and that this STR polymorphism is due to variation in the number of cttt repeats alone.
