The samples were measured during 300 s at voltage of 25 and 50 kV, respectively, at current of 0.5 and 1.0 mA under helium atmosphere using the standardised method of fundamental parameters for cement pellets and liquids.
Furthermore, the OHLS used identical questions and the same standardised method for self completion as the BCCSS questionnaire; when the characteristics of the OHLS were previously compared with BCCSS survivors only slight differences were observed in regards to sex and age (Reulen et al, 2007).
For the first time, a standardised method for the assessment of platelet function in sheep as well as baseline values were established in this study since no standardised tests have been described so far.
Going a step further and considering the degree of stroma reaction as a potential and clinically relevant prognostic and eventually even predictive biomarker, we are faced to the fact that no standardised method for the evaluation of this important marker exists so far.
The purpose of the OSCE is to provide a standardised method for the evaluation of clinical skill performance in a simulated environment.
Therefore, if the dose exposure question can be overtaken today, the main problem remains the lack of a standardised method for CTp analysis.
The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) programme teaches a standardised method for the initial assessment and management of trauma patients, and has been adopted by more than 50 countries worldwide.
Despite this volume of work, there is still no standardised method for the assessment of the local inflammatory response in colorectal tumours.
However, despite being commonly applied, no standardised method for the operationalisation of each of the five component criteria (figure 1) necessary for an aMCI diagnosis exists, resulting in heterogeneity in diagnostic methods and case ascertainment across studies.
This discrepancy might be due to the use of different antibodies, criteria of evaluation and other issues related to discordant study protocols [ 38] and, considering the potential importance of FMCs as model for human breast cancer, a standardised method for the detection of HER2 expression and cellular localisation in feline mammary tumours is urgently needed.
