Duration of assessment in these studies rarely exceeds few weeks, and endpoints relate to seizure deterioration rather than improvement; this surrogate measure of efficacy is not necessarily predictive of clinical usefulness and, in view of ethical concerns, the rationale for these studies should be questioned.
Our data support the relationship of TTP with several clinical parameters in patients with Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia, although their clinical usefulness probably is limited in view of the narrow spread of their values.
The goal of the current paper is to reflect on the methodology that was used in the project, in view of exploring the usefulness of this and similar methodologies to the policy process.
In this study, we present the clinical and histologic features of 108 thymomas and evaluate the usefulness of this histologic schema in view of the prognosis.
In view of the usefulness of these postures, there is a need to ascertain their impact on PWB in apparently healthy adults at a specific level of immersion.
Recently, HTLcs have received considerable attention in view of their potential usefulness as catalysts and catalyst precursors, as well as for applications in areas as diverse as medicine science, ion exchangers, oil field exploration, or sorption processes [4 7].
The tool was sent to experts who consented to participate by e-mailing a link to the web-based questionnaire, and sought their opinion on usefulness, appropriateness and applicability of the tool in view of content validation and consensus generation.
20 21 22 In view of the potential usefulness of digoxin in heart failure and atrial fibrillation, and in an attempt to settle the uncertainty over adverse outcomes, we assessed the efficacy and safety of digoxin by comprehensively meta-analysing all available observational and experimental studies.
In view of the potential usefulness of VOCs as markers of lung disease we developed a simple method for their measurement using Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS) and crucially, we standardised the breath collection and studied the effect of different breath parameters such as exhalation flow and breath hold on the levels of the measured gases.
In view of its suboptimal specificity, the usefulness of this method of assessing fever has remained limited to that of a screening tool.
