Comparison of Phenotypes between Different \(vangl2\) Mutants Demonstrates Dominant Effects of the \(Looptail\) Mutation during Hair Cell Development
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Experiments utilizing the \(Looptail\) mutant mouse, which harbors a missense mutation in the \(vangl2\) gene, have been essential for studies of planar polarity and linking the function of the core planar cell polarity ... -
Comparison of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Levels across Studies of Human Neurodevelopment
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2002)Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent pollutants that are ubiquitous in the food chain, and detectable amounts are in the blood of almost every person in most populations that have been examined. Extensive evidence ... -
A Comparison of Pregnancies That Occur Before and After the Onset of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2004)Background Many women with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) fear that pregnancy will worsen their condition, increase the risks of maternal complications of pregnancy, or threaten the health of their offspring. Little ... -
Comparison of Preoperative Assessment of Patient’s Metabolic Equivalents (METs) Estimated from History versus Measured by Exercise Cardiac Stress Testing
(Hindawi Limited, 2018-09-03)Background. Preoperative anesthetic evaluations of patients before surgery traditionally involves assessment of a patient’s functional capacity to estimate perioperative risk of cardiovascular complications and need for ... -
A comparison of preschool children's discussions with parents during picture book and chapter book reading
(SAGE Publications, 2014)Discussions that occur during book reading between parents and preschool children relate to children’s language development, especially discussions during picture books that include extended discourse, a form of abstract ... -
Comparison of Prevalence and Types of Mutations in Lung Cancers Among Black and White Populations
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2017)Importance Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States in all ethnic and racial groups. The overall death rate from lung cancer is higher in black patients than in white patients. Objective ... -
A Comparison of Product Price Targeting and Other Monetary Anchor Options, for Commodity Exporters in Latin America
(John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, 2011)Seven possible nominal variables are considered as candidates to be the anchor or target for monetary policy. The context is countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), which tend to be price takers on world markets, ... -
A Comparison of Product Price Targeting and Other Monetary Anchor Options, for Commodity Exporters in Latin America
(Center for International Development at Harvard University, 2011-11)Seven possible nominal variables are considered as candidates to be the anchor or target for monetary policy. The context is countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), which tend to be price takers on world markets, ... -
Comparison of Prospective and Retrospective Indicators of the Quality of End-of-Life Cancer Care
(American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2008)PURPOSE: To compare prospectively and retrospectively defined benchmarks for the quality of end-of-life care, including a novel indicator for the use of opiate analgesia. METHODS: Linked claims and cancer registry data ... -
Comparison of rainforest butterfly assemblages across three biogeographical regions using standardized protocols
(The Lepidoptera Research Foundation, 2011)Insects, like most other organisms, are more diverse in tropical than in temperate regions, but standardized comparisons of diversity among tropical regions are rare. Disentangling the effects of ecological, evolutionary, ... -

(BMJ, 2016-06-28)OBJECTIVE To evaluate safety alerts and recalls, publication of key trial outcomes, and subsequent US approval of high profile medical devices introduced in the European Union. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Novel cardiovascular, ... -
Comparison of reionization models: radiative transfer simulations and approximate, seminumeric models
(Oxford University Press, 2011)We compare the predictions of four different algorithms for the distribution of ionized gas during the Epoch of Reionization. These algorithms are all used to run a 100 Mpc h(-1) simulation of reionization with the same ... -
A comparison of retrokeratoprosthetic membrane and conjunctival inflammatory responses to silicone oil
(Springer, 2014)Silicone oil continues to be an important aid in retinal detachment surgery. We report a case in which disparate responses to silicone oil were noted in the conjunctiva and intraocularly. Intraocularly, the oil permeated ... -
A Comparison of RNA Amplification Techniques at Sub-Nanogram Input Concentration
(BioMed Central, 2009)Background: Gene expression profiling of small numbers of cells requires high-fidelity amplification of sub-nanogram amounts of RNA. Several methods for RNA amplification are available; however, there has been little ... -
Comparison of RNA-seq and microarray-based models for clinical endpoint prediction
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Gene expression profiling is being widely applied in cancer research to identify biomarkers for clinical endpoint prediction. Since RNA-seq provides a powerful tool for transcriptome-based applications beyond ... -
