Overall, RR estimates for these pollutants were generally similar and agreed well with our SOM-based findings that ED visits for pediatric asthma are rather non-specific – a finding seen in previous studies [ 13].
The genes with LCP were therefore more likely to be "tissue-specific," a finding consistent with our earlier observation of increased divergence between mammals and chicken for genes in the LCP group (table 3).
Although FDG uptake in this study was found to be decreased after treatment with each agent, the effect on cell cycle was agent-specific suggesting that the changes in FDG uptake are not cell cycle-specific, a finding previously reported by others (Higashi et al, 1993; Haberkorn et al, 1994).
By working with mutant worms, she showed that a specific odor receptor recognizes a specific odor, a finding that was implied by the Axel-Buck discovery but that no one had managed to nail down.
Surprisingly, higher soil radiation levels were related to fewer indoor allergen sensitizations (specific IgE), a finding, that needs to be replicated in future studies.
The existence of multiple GS species in different organs of the plant indicates the occurrence of protein complexes and/or post-translation modifications in an organ-specific manner, a finding of particular interest.
Only one previous study evaluated the association between depression and a specific pesticide, finding a cross-sectional association between parathion exposure and CES-D scores indicative of clinical depression among 115 adults in Jackson County, Mississippi (Rehner et al. 2000).
By comparison, marked hypoechogenicity defined as 'less reflective than adjacent strap muscle' is a specific malignant finding with an odds ratio of 8.46 in a retrospective study of 849 thyroid nodules [14].
Pregnancy loss associated with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) has traditionally been ascribed to thrombosis of the utero-placental vasculature [ 10]; however, thrombosis is neither a universal nor a specific finding in aPL pregnancies [ 11].
Direction/Trend: indicates whether an increase or a decrease in a specific phenomenon, finding or activity is reported in the statement.
