For even thicker specimens, we did not observe any appreciable photo-voltaic effects.
As only six studies used other types of specimens, we did not further stratify them by methylation method.
Unfortunately, we could not confirm loriciferan activity due to a paucity of specimens, and the degraded nature of the specimens we did find.
For T. ferreri (the coastal species), and due to the limited availability of specimens, we did a single experiment of 12 specimens each for UTL and LTL.
Nonetheless, the estimated urinary concentrations of the free species must be interpreted with caution because at the time of the collection of the specimens, we did not pre-screen the sampling materials for the presence of these phenols.
A third limitation is that due to the conditions of specimen collection (e.g., in-home collection, filter paper collection, longer-term storage for the daily specimens) we did not routinely place the specimens in viral cultures but used PCR to quantify CMV DNA; thus, the presence of infectious virions was not demonstrated in most cases.
The authors felt no need to perform anatomical correlation in all the specimens because the anatomy of the region has already been fully described and the ultrasound findings were repeatedly confirmed in the specimens we did dissect and section [ 1, 18– 22].
In the biopsy specimen, we did not find a proliferation of atypical cells with a hemangiopericytoma-like appearance, which was found in the resected specimen.
Although the polyethylene wear particles were clearly identified under polarized light in each specimen, we did not observe massive metal wear macroscopically in any of the study cases.
These parameters had lower values in the current study because although complete removal of the lesion by VAB prior surgical excision might be an explanation in the event of missing proof of malignancy in the final specimen, we did not include this option in the calculation.
