Skin Hydration with Single Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sample size calculation was performed with a hypothesis to find a positive difference in skin hydration between treated and control sites 24 hours after a single treatment of at least 20%. With an effect size of 0.6, an alpha value of 0.05, and a power of 80%, a total of at least 20 participants should be enrolled to detect this difference between the active treated sites vs the control.
The SPSS software version 18 (SPSS, Inc, Chicago) was used for statistical analysis. The repeated measure ANOVA test was used for the analysis of the study outcomes in order to compare treated sites vs the control at each time point, as well as skin hydration and TEWL in several follow‐up visits vs baseline. The statistical significance level was defined as P < .05.

Predictive Factors for NAFLD

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 18 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA). Statistical significance was defined as p<0.05. Results are given as mean±standard error (SE) and median [interquartile range (IQR)]. Variable distributions were assessed with the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test. Statistical comparison between groups was assessed by student’s t-test, the Mann–Whitney U test, or the Pearson chi-square test. Correlation analyses were performed using Spearman or Pearson’s coefficients to assess relationships of measures. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictors of NAFLD.

Seroprevalence of Zoonotic Infections

The sample size was calculated 400, according to the formula: n = Z21−α/2p(1 − p)/d2 Results were shown as positive or negative in comparison with cut off. Cut off was estimated by this formula: cut off = + 2SD. Data were analyzed by SPSS software, version 18 (Chicago, IL, USA). Antibodies level (IgG, IgM) and correlations with variables such as place of residence, profession, education level, contact with pets specially cat, consumption of raw vegetables and undercooked meat and receiving blood products were evaluated.

Iron Deficiency Treatment Outcomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Participants’ sociodemographic data, ferritin levels and documented rationale for measuring iron levels, suspected etiologies, treatment schedule, reasons for choosing IV treatment, and planned clinical and biological follow-up were analyzed descriptively using mean and/or percentages. SPSS software Version 18 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for the analysis.

Comparing SBS Across Groups

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Normal distribution of data was assessed using Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc tests were used to compare SBS in the five groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Dietary Indices and Health Outcomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chi-square tests or independent sample t-tests were applied for
comparison of categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Where the
distribution of continuous variables was not normal, Mann–Whitney test was used.
HEI, DASH, and Mediterranean Diet scores were categorized into quartile for
analyses. The composition of each index according to HEI, DASH and Mediterranean
Diet scores quartile was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to
compare continuous variables. In case of non-normal distribution, the
Kruskal–Wallis test was used. Linear regression test was used to examine the
relationship between different indicators with quantitative variables in both
healthy and patient groups. Also, logistic regression statistical test was used
to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval. If there were
confounding variables, we used analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). All data were
expressed as Mean ± standard deviation and SPSS software version 18 was used to
analyze the data. P-value less than .05 was considered as
significant.

Statistical Analysis of Normality

Data normality was assessed by the Shapiro–Wilk test. In case of normality, the T-student test was applied. The non-parametric tests of Mann–Whitney and logistic regression were used to determine the relationships when the data were abnormal. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS software version 18 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA).

Salivary Cortisol Changes in Soccer Match

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Shapiro Wilk-Test showed a normal distribution of data. All variables measured pre-and post-match were compared using student T-test for related samples. SalCC comparison between rest and match day was analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA, using hour of day (AM vs. PM) and condition (Rest vs. Match) as intra-subject factors. After a significant F-test differences among means were calculated with Bonferroni´s adjustment. Effect size (ES) was estimated and the results were based on the following criteria: trivial (0–0.19), small (0.20–0.49), medium (0.50–0.79) and large (≥0.80)[35 (link)]. Data from changes in pre-post-match values of SalCC, neuromuscular test battery, and percent body weight losses were analyzed using Pearson’s coefficient of correlation. Data are presented as mean and standard error of the mean (SEM); and the level of significance was set at P≤0.05. All the statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 18 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL; USA).

The data were analyzed by SPSS software version 18 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and chi-square and if necessary Fisher exact test were used to compare the variables. A P values < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Evaluating Treatment Outcomes with Statistics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software version 18 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Given the normal distribution of data, paired-samples t-test was used for pre-and post-treatment comparisons. Bivariate associations between baseline and post-treatment values of the evaluated parameters as well as their changes during the course of the study were assessed using Pearson's (in case of normally distributed data) or Spearman's (in case of non-normally distributed data) correlation coefficients. P < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
