The unavoidable limitation to our comparisons is that they included data from multiple studies that used differing methods.
Although these studies have used differing methods, they all highlight the importance of the ipsilateral hemisphere (Helmstaedter et al., 2006; Wong et al., 2009) and intra-hemispheric reorganization of language after dominant temporal lobe resection (Pataraia et al., 2005).
The few studies of prevalence that have used a consecutive patient cohort design have either not used an appropriate asymptomatic comparison group, or have used differing methods of radiographic measurement, or arbitrary definitions of abnormal motion, some of which have since been questioned or abandoned.
38 For outcomes measured using differing methods or when there was likely to be variation owing to the clinical context (for example, consultation length), we used the standardised mean differences.
Several studies have employed biochemical techniques to identify binding partners of the expanded sense repeat in vitro using differing methods and sources of protein, reviewed in [ 44].
Well - so far, so good, you might say.Researchers are doing what researchers do - using different methods to reach differing conclusions, putting them into the scientific literature and allowing the research community as a whole to sift and sort and decide, in time, what is wheat and what is chaff.
However, the results are difficult to compare, because the researchers have employed different methods and have used differing categories to distinguish ethnic affiliation.
The surgical method used differed according to each patient's level of neurological function and the size and/or the location of the spinal tumor.
The algorithms used differ from one method to the other, some perform better than others, and the need for recalibration upon changes in time or in vascular tone upon treatment continue to limit their independent applicability [ 5, 18].
The genotyping methods currently used differ with respect to the genetic locus targeted: the SSU rRNA gene, the HSP70 gene, or the GP60 gene.
