Similarly, despite that RT-PCR validation confirmed 30/37 (81%) tested alternatively spliced exons [15], there may still be a significant fraction of inconsistent quantitative data, as previously reported in other cases of quantification of changes in AS by exon arrays [67].
Knee flexion strength was tested alternatively supine with gravity if prone against gravity was not comfortable.
Differences in continuous variables between groups were tested with the Student t test, alternatively the Mann–Whitney U-test for non-normally distributed data.
The χ test, alternatively the Fischer exact test will be used, to establish whether there is a difference in the distribution of the total number of patients with a correct/incorrect '4 h' presumptive diagnosis in the control group and in the intervention group.
The Stroop test, alternatively termed 'the color word conflict task' (Frankenhaeuser and Johansson 1976), was used as a work task to stress the participants and was performed on a computer with a mouse operated by the same hand as the PEG for 10 min.
Both hind paws were tested alternatively.. Responses to acetone were graded on the following scale: 0 = no reaction, 1 = mild reaction characterized by quick withdrawal (less than 3 movements) or short duration of lifting paw (less than 3 seconds), 2 = longer withdrawal or repeated movements (≥3 movements or ≥3 seconds).
The overall significance of the haplotypes is evaluated by a likelihood ratio test, or alternatively, a score test.
Twenty-nine sfallele-containingng isolates either provided inconsistent results among different complementation tests or, alternatively, demonstrated noncomplementation of the suppressor mutation by multiple deletions of division components.
Diabetes mellitus is diagnosed by abnormal glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), alternatively a direct quantification of hypoinsulinemia can be performed by measurements of serum levels of insulin or c-peptide.
The reason for this may be that previous investigators might have underestimated the true incidence either by not sending patients for imaging tests or alternatively by relying on MDCT which in the PIOPED II study [ 18] showed a comparably low sensitivity for PE diagnosis in the general population.
