DNA Barcoding of Biomphalaria Specimens

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to verify the accuracy of the partial coi sequences for the identification of Biomphalaria specimens using DNA barcoding methodology, BOLD Identification Criteria (thresh-ID) and Best Close Match (BCM) analyses were carried out (Meier et al., 2006 (link)) using the ape v. 5.5 (Paradis and Schliep, 2019 (link)) and spider v. 1.5.0 (Brown et al., 2012 (link)) packages of the R software v. 4.0.5 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, 2021 ).
In order to define the barcode gap, the Kimura two-parameter (K2P) model (Tamura et al., 2004 (link)) was used to calculate the intraspecific and interspecific distances (Meyer and Paulay, 2005 (link)) between the species using the spider v. 1.5.0 (Brown et al., 2012 (link)) package in the R software v. 4.0.5 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, 2021 ).
Additionally, the sequences were clustered/grouped into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs), grouping organisms by their similarity, in this case in relation to a genetic marker (Blaxter et al., 2005 (link)), using the criteria of four algorithms; Generalized Mixed Yule-Coalescent (GMYC) (Reid and Carstens, 2012 (link); Fujisawa and Barraclough, 2013 (link)), Poisson Tree Processes (bPTP) (Zhang et al., 2013 (link)), Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) (Puillandre et al., 2012 (link)) and Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning (ASAP) (Puillandre et al., 2021 (link)).

Preoperative Irradiation Impact on Survival

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The power analysis (power = 80%, α = 0.05) from our pilot study (unpublished) on three cases with preoperative irradiation and five without in five HPFs, revealed that the minimum number of subjects is 58. Data was presented by the median lower and upper quartiles. Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparing of the study groups. ROC analysis was used to evaluate the threshold criterion, including area under the curve (AUC). A relative risk (RR) analysis was performed using Fisher two-tail test. According to the threshold criteria, the log-rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were employed for Rad+ group to determine differences in DFS and hazard ratio (HR). Next, correlations between groups of cases were assessed using a Spearman correlation test. All data analyses and visualization were performed using GraphPad Prism v.8.4.3 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and R Software v4.0.5 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) and packages dplyr 1.0.5, corrplot 0.89 and Hmisc 4.5-0.

Angiogenesis Factors in Clinicopathology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
R software v4.0.5 (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) was employed for data analyses. Unless specified, statistical significance was defined at p < 0.05. Cardinality testing was done to evaluate the correlation of clinicopathological characteristics with various groups. The associations between angiogenesis and all factors were explored by univariate and multifactorial Cox analyses. Data were visualized using the R package “ggplot2.”

Time-dependent Survival Analysis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The time-dependent ROC analysis was performed using R software v 4.0.5 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria [19 ]). The time-dependent ROC analysis had used to diagnosis 5-year survival in this study. Other statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26 for Windows (Chicago, IL, USA). Medians and ranges were calculated, and differences were identified using Student’s t test. The Mann–Whitney U test was used for non-parametric analyses. Differences between each category were identified using the Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, and the Kruskal–Wallis test was used to identify the differences in continuous variables. Survival curves were produced using the Kaplan–Meier survival method and log-rank test. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated, and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using Cox proportional hazards regression models. The threshold for significance was set up at p < 0.05.

Epidemiological Analysis of PCR Positivity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical analyses were performed using R software v. 4.0.5 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). The prevalence and its 95% confidence interval (CI), overall and differentiated by different epidemiological data, were calculated, and the existence of a statistical association between PCR positivity rates and explanatory variables (sex, age, breed, lifestyle, habitat, and ecoregion) was evaluated by Fisher’s exact test. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Ordinal Data Analysis of Pruritus, Hair Loss, and Scales in Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Statistical associations between ordinal data, such as days 0, 14 and 30 and the scores used to assess pruritus, hair loss and the presence of scales and lice, were assessed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. A P value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Data were analyzed using R software v. 4.0.5 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria).

Risk Factors for Diabetes in Tuberculosis

Frequency distributions and percentages were calculated for all the study variables. The Student’s t-test for the normally distributed variables or Mann-Whitney test was used to compare continuous variables, and the χ2 test was used to compare categorical variables. The age-standardised prevalence rate (per 100 000) of patients with TB-DM was calculated using the Korean standard population in 2015. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the risk factors for DM among patients with TB. All p values were two-tailed, and a p value of <0.05 was deemed statistically significant. All statistical analyses were performed using Stata/MP V.17 (StataCorp, College Station, Texas, USA), and R software (V.4.0.5, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria).

Evaluating Pruritus, Hair Loss, and Lice

Statistical analyses were performed separately for the group tested with NexGard Combo® and the reference positive control group. Statistical associations between categorical variables, such as days 0, 14 and 30 and the scores used to assess pruritus, hair loss and the presence of scales and lice, were evaluated using the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results were considered statistically significant at a p-value < 0.05. Data analyses were performed using R software v. 4.0.5 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria).

Statistical Analysis of Clinical Data

The study populations’ characteristics were described using summary statistics. We made no assumptions about missing data and expressed proportions with regard to the number of patients with data. Categorical variables were described as the frequency (percentage), and continuous variables were described as the mean (standard deviation) or the median (interquartile range), depending on the data distribution. Intergroup differences were assessed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test or the Kruskal–Wallis test for continuous variables and the chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted using the survival package in R. All tests were two-sided and a p value < 0.05 was considered significant. All statistical analyses were performed using R software v. 4.0.2 R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria.

Two-tailed Student’s t-test, Kolmogorov−Smirnov test and Wilcoxon test was used for the indicated comparisons. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, ns, no significance).

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.
