Finally, screenings by the molecular method performed on DNA extracted from 56 isolates retrieved from both infected and non-infected fragments at the conclusion of inoculation experiment II in Palau (Table S3), demonstrated that results obtained by screening field isolates were consistent with screening laboratory derived isolates (Pearson's χ2 = 6.725, DF = 1, p = 0.010).
Estimated age at rupture, at death due to rupture, and at death after elective surgery in the non-screening alternative were also consistent with published data.
The finding that Methanosaeta is the dominating genus in all SS digesters is consistent with other screenings [ 21, 43, 44].
Our decision to exclude data from subjects whose answers were not consistent with our pre-screening criteria was part of our original design and was not made based on any evaluation of the scanning data (the fMRI data from these subjects were never analyzed).
The screenings often turn up moderate lung damage consistent with asbestosis, or asbestos-related lung disease.
Finally, in Phase III, and consistent with the variability in how "screening" is defined and discussed, we examined how each source used the term "screening", and inductively coded whether or not the term was explicitly defined.
Our findings were consistent with a cost study of a colorectal cancer screening programme which showed that repeated screenings cost less than initial screenings because of the lower prevalence of disease in the rescreening group as opposed to first-time participants [ 31].
Consistent with previous reports (Bassett and Liu 2014), from CRISPR screenings we did here, founder lines have relatively low survival (55.6% on average) and fertility (34.5% of survived on average) rates.
This is consistent with other studies, including one study conducted in Finland that found that the screening-detected adolescent celiac disease subjects were not only shorter but one third also had nutritional abnormalities [ 16, 26].
