Demystifying EQA statistics and reports.
performance scores, a satisfactory number of data is needed. There is no general agreement about the minimal number that is needed. A solution for very small numbers is proposed by changing the limits of ...
Development of molecular tools for rapid detection and quantification of indoor airborne molds to assess their impact on public health
Currently, contamination of the indoor environment by fungi is suggested to be a public health problem, although scientific evidence on the causal link is still limited. The monitoring of indoor airborne ...
Genotyping for Human Papillomavirus Types 16 and 18 in Women With Minor Cervical Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
respectively, and was 5% in hrHPV-positive but HPV 16/18-negative women with either ASC-US or LSIL. Limitation: Methodological and technical heterogeneity among studies; insufficient data to assess accuracy of ...
Age-Dependent Differences in Pseudorabies Virus Neuropathogenesis and Associated Cytokine Expression.
at important sites of neuropathogenesis. First, only limited viral and cytokine mRNA expression was detected in the nasal mucosa, suggesting that other sites may serve as the primary replication site. ...

Slurry photocatalytic membrane reactor technology for removal of pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater: Towards cytostatic drug elimination
than the ones observed with slurry PMR s. Therefore the reasons why slurry PMR s may be considered as the next generation technology will be discussed in this work together with the limitations related ...
Disability Weights for Chronic Mercury Intoxication Resulting from Gold Mining Activities: Results from an Online Pairwise Comparisons Survey.
resulted in higher mean values. The results are limited by the sample size, group of interviewees, questionnaire extent, and lack of generally accepted health state descriptions. DW s were derived to improve ...
Proof-of-concept study of a new LC-ESI-MS/MS-based assay to identify Aspergillus spp. in artificially mixed samples using species/genus-specific proteotypic peptides
of microorganisms has shown its usefulness in clinical laboratories, but there are some important limitations associated with this technique. In this study, we present proof of concept of a newly ...
The fate of buccal bone around dental implants. A 12-month postloading follow-up study.
(one stage vs. two stages) did not influence the rate of bone resorption (P = 0.23). CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, one might question the necessity of having a thick bone plate at the ...
Antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Escherichia coli by using normalized resistance interpretation.
NRI with previously established optimal controlled parameters for E. coli ATCC25922 was used to reconstruct the fully susceptible population of the tested E. coli isolates. Based on a lower limit for ...
