IL-1β serum concentrations were measured using the Quantikine HS Human IL-1β immunoassay (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), which was validated at Novartis (data not shown).
To summarize, carotid artery balloon catheter injury led to cell proliferation, which was validated at the levels of PCNA and p-Akt protein as well as PCNA mRNA.
Felt stigma was assessed by three-item stigma scale which is validated at Zambia and comprised of dichotomous questions in which a positive response is indicative of felt or perceived stigma with an overall possible score ranging from 0 (no felt stigma) to 3 (maximally felt stigma) [ 20].
The ARMS is a validated instrument (one of the few questionnaires which were validated using at least two different external criteria and, among them, at least one was a clinical outcome).
This paper proposes a residual stress model for roller bent wide flange sections, based on earlier conducted numerical investigations which were validated by experimental research performed at Eindhoven University of Technology.
After fitting the model to the 14 649 positions, we evaluated the performance using 497 candidate mutations originally detected using SNVMix1 at 10×, which were validated using Sanger amplicon sequencing (Section 2).
Totals are based on mortality figures reported by online English language media agencies, designated from a list that meets IBC determined baseline standards and which are validated by at least two independently reported sources.
Interestingly, three tumour suppressors (FHIT, RASSF1, and VHL), which have been reported to be downregulated in NSCLC (Wikman et al, 2002; Hayes et al, 2006), were upregulated upon Enz treatment, which was validated by RT PCR at the mRNA level.
The most extensively studied instrument is the CAM-ICU, which was validated to assess delirium at the bedside in nonverbal ventilated ICU patients [41].
