The findings from this experimental model of sarcoidosis might explain the recently reported effectiveness of tetracyclines for treating sarcoidosis.
Moreover, the 2 RCTs that did not report significant group differences in pain intensity or back-related disability included only older adults [ 25, 26] while no age restriction was posed in the only RCT that reported effectiveness of MBSR for most outcome measures [ 24].
Hasan et al. (2007) reported effectiveness of water hyacinth for sorption of zinc (II) and cadmium (II) from aqueous solutions up to a concentration of 6 and 2.5 mg/L, respectively.
Similarly, reported effectiveness ratings for cyclosporine were higher in intermediate and posterior/panuveitis compared to anterior uveitis (P = 0.08).
Two of the four 'secondary' reports, did not provide additional relevant data [ 36, 37] (and are not considered further); and two provided additional data supplementing those provided in the 'primary' reports (one reported additional data on neonatal mortality [ 38] and one reported effectiveness data for a subgroup of interest [ 39]).
Findings pertaining to the quality of the included papers and the reported effectiveness associated with specific CCM elements for improving health outcomes and healthcare practices are presented below by study type.
This is the first study to report effectiveness factors for the commonly used finite cylindrical catalyst pellet geometry for the important case of internal and external resistances.
In a recent report from the 2010 California pertussis outbreak including about 170 paediatric cases, the reported vaccine effectiveness for a primary series and booster doses at 12 18 months and 4 6 years of age was 41% for children aged 2 7 years, but only 24% for children aged 8 12 years, suggesting waning immunity over time [ 36].
Observational studies have reported greater effectiveness for symptom improvement with olanzapine and risperidone than with aripiprazole [ 103, 104].
We have previously reported differential effectiveness for risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and ziprasidone for overall change of the PANSS total and positive subscale scores, respectively [ 12].
