Co-Founder of Sustainable Coastlines Camden Howitt told VICE NZ more than three quarters of the waste they collect are single use-plastics alone.
Single drugs used alone represented mono-therapy and counted as individual drug; whereas two or more single drugs taken together either separately or as fixed dose combination drugs were counted under combination category (and not in the individual drug categories).
At present there is no 'ideal' single brain monitor; a combination of monitoring techniques may provide better insight into brain function than a single monitor used alone.
Interestingly, integrating the analysis of the miRNAs with cytology offered a higher sensitivity than did any single approach used alone (71.8% vs. 61.5%; 71.8% vs. 35.9%, all P < 0.05), while having 93.0% specificity (Figure 3). Figure 3 Comparison of miRNA biomarkers and sputum cytology for lung cancer diagnosis in 39 patients diagnosed with stage I NSCLC and 42 cancer-free individuals.
The Youden score was 0.775 955% CI 0.771 0.816), significantly higher than either of the single questions used alone.
The models with lipid ratios were consistently superior to those with the single variables used alone for predicting HOMA-IR (Table 2).
The data suggested that expressions of the miRNAs were complementary to each other, and further supported that combing the three genes outperformed a single one used alone.
Taken together, the comparison of 16 different HIV-1 neutralization assays within the framework of an international network, NeutNet, comprised of 15 laboratories, led us to the conclusion that at present no single assay can be recommended for use alone as a potential correlate of vaccine efficacy.
Therefore, we decided to determine the piezosurgery group for both: single use for osteotomy and membrane elevation as well as for initial membrane elevation alone.
Combination therapy has been shown to decrease the risk for development of more highly resistant organisms, which has been reported when single agents are used alone (18).
The RT-PCR results provided confidence that, for the genome-wide scan, the false positive rate was low in CNV regions; however, the penalty was a relatively high false negative rate when a single method was used alone.
