STS patients at the ASC have been registered according to the FNCLCC system since January 2009, and based on the limited discrepancies in grading that we have found before and after January 2009, we would expect comparability issues to be minor.
We also evaluated the species-specific PCR method developed by Suzuki et al. This method identified correctly all the C. canimorsus human isolates, but there was a limited discrepancy in the identifications for dog isolates.
Predicted and observed transition frequencies are depicted in Figure 2, and indicated an overall adequate description, with a limited discrepancy observed for transition rates of peripheral neuropathy.
There were no major complications noted during the study, although the minor complication rate was significantly higher than the 2 13% rate previously published in the limited literature 6 7 The discrepancies between the literature complication rates and the study group rates may have been related to the differences in technique and site of procedure performed.
Because IV-administered antibodies were at a significantly lower concentration than endogenous IgG, it is likely that this discrepancy represents the limited sensitivity of IHC staining techniques, as well as tissue fixation, fluorescence quenching, imaging parameters, and image analysis.
This discrepancy between the limited predictive value and the commercial availability of genetic profiles highlights the need for a critical appraisal of the usefulness of genome-based applications in clinical and public health care.
Although some efforts have been made to determine tsunami loads on structures, there are discrepancies between the limited number of published design guidelines.
Another source of discrepancies is the limited nature of the binary Boolean model itself.
Reasonable agreement was obtained for mean velocity data, with some discrepancies due to the limited length of the inlet tube.
These discrepancies probably reflect the limited sensitivity of microarray-based expression profiling of minority members of heterogeneous cell populations, and underscore the importance of independently validating microarray results at single-cell resolution in intact embryos.
