Finally, MCG was compared to angiography, but not directly to any other non-invasive diagnostic technology in the studies included in this meta-analysis. Therefore, inference about the poten- tial superiority or inferiority of MCG compared to other ECG-based methods can only be drawn indi- rectl[r]
The capacity of the osteoporotic spine to withstand axial loads may be influenced by trabecular bone quality, subregional BMD and vertebral body geometry. However, there is limited information in the literature regarding in vivo loading of the thoracic spine, other than a mathematical mod[r]
Pronuclear microinjection would be an obvious choice of transgene delivery method for human embryos. The technique is well established in animals, and is likely to be directly applicable to the human zygote [6, 7, 8]. Zygotes from various mammalian species have particular characteristics that nec[r]
