The archival primary tumor specimen involving the bladder from this same patient, which dated to 1 year and 3 months prior to CTC analysis, was obtained for aCGH analysis as well.
The analysis of the specimens involves the following bone measurements: bone volume fraction (BV/TV, %), trabecular number (Tb. N), trabecular thickness (Tb. Th), trabecular spacing (Tb. Sp), and cortical thickness (Cort.Th).
Pathological examination of the surgical specimen involved opening the specimen, identification of the former tumour-bearing area and macroscopic description followed by fixation in 10% neutral-buffered formalin for 24 h.
Pathologically, the fractioned specimen involved moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma invading the subserosal layer with positive margin of the dissection plane.
The length of time for which pathology specimens are stored varies by pathology department and according to the type of biological specimen involved.
The developed finite element model is demonstrated through; i) tensile loading of a finite homogeneous material slab that offers a simple interpretation of results, ii) tensile loading of a double edge notch tension specimen involving symmetry considerations, and iii) shearing of a periodically voided structure that displays the ability of the procedure to treat periodic boundary conditions.
Studies of beam-induced motion have shown that the observed motion in cryo-EM specimens involves both the ice and the carbon support (Glaser et al., 2011; Brilot et al., 2012).
A typical test specimen involves a relatively long upstream section of tube welded to an arrestor and to a downstream tube.
Specimen sampling involved the collection of a nasopharyngeal (NP) swab and an oropharyngeal (OP) swab, inserted into 1 mL of viral transport media (together in years 1 and 2, and then separately), and stored at 2-8°C 2-8°Cp to 96 h prior to shipment to the KEMRI-CDC laboratory in Nairobi [ 13].
The procedures require three measured quantities, i.e., the peak load and corresponding displacements as well as the depth of residual indentation, but do not require complicated curve fitting process and regression analysis which themselves involve the specimen material.
