The rare tumor criteria consisted of 100 rare or uncommon tumors (25 cases each of adrenal cortical carcinoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor [GIST], adenoid cystic carcinoma, and mycosis fungoides) collected between 1990 and 2005.
Because ambiguous variation names are not uncommon in literature, reliability criteria are employed to evaluate the genuineness of the described variation.
Atypical presentations of NSTEMI are not uncommon, 2 therefore the criteria for pain suggestive of ACS were those of usual clinical practice of investigators.
Conflicts between criteria are not uncommon and sometimes helpful.
This study showed that RIS, according to present stringent criteria, is an uncommon finding, in a tertiary radiological clinic in a region with a high prevalence of MS, where awareness and clinical suspicion of MS is common.
Finding that guidelines do not fully meet the AGREE criteria is not uncommon [ 22, 36- 38], partly due to the lack of a precise account of the development process and partly because of a lack of scientific evidence; both are not uncommon problems in drafting guidelines [ 22, 39, 40].
In conclusion this study suggests that RIS, according to present stringent criteria, is an uncommon finding in a tertiary hospital setting in a region with a high prevalence of MS. In order to more accurately determine the frequency of RIS in relation to MS prevalence, non-selected populations in large prospective studies actively involving both radiologists and neurologists are needed.
The patient with RIS developed symptoms consistent with MS within 3 months accompanied with radiological progression and was diagnosed with MS. RIS, according to present criteria, is an uncommon finding in a tertiary hospital setting in a high-prevalence region for MS where awareness and clinical suspicion of MS is common.
Grafting of a whole hemipelvis is uncommon, and there are no absolute criteria for allograft selection, because each surgeon has his own preference and each recipient has specific needs.
Low EF was uncommon in this population, reflecting the exclusion criteria used in the SEAS study.
