Psychedelics produce altered states of consciousness that are characterised by visual hallucinations; ego death, or a breakdown in one’s sense of self; and spiritual or “mystical” experiences [10,11]. The Altered States of Consciousness (ASC) scale is one popular questionnaire that captures seve...
or the over-representation of protective health behaviors among controls due to the followed sampling methodology. A major concern with regards to published literature reviews and meta-analyses was the low comparability among the studies they were based on, as their different methodological design, anal...
Inadequate recruitment, attrition, poor adherence to measurement protocols and data loss may threaten internal validity [22], introduce sampling bias [23] or otherwise undermine the utility of the behavioural data to address population health questions. Decisions on the placement of the device (e.g....
25 The I2 statistic describes the percentage of total variation across trials due to heterogeneity rather than sampling error. In the case of no heterogeneity (I2 = 0), studies were pooled using a fixed-effects model. Where values of I2 were greater than 0, a random-effects analysis...
To further examine the relative influence of GI site, diet, and age on microbiome structure, we performed a weighted UniFrac analysis (Fig.1D) of all samples. This analysis reveals that site of sampling has the greatest impact on microbiome structure, followed by host age, with diet and AGPs...
However, the sampling strategy in five included studies may have been inappropriate to address the research question or recruit a representative sample, as convenience sampling was applied [37, 39, 41] or relevant information (e.g. participant recruitment and inclusion criteria) was not clearly ...
Receiving touch is of critical importance, as many studies have shown that touch promotes mental and physical well-being. We conducted a pre-registered (PROSPERO: CRD42022304281) systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis encompassing 137 studies in
To avoid selection (sampling) bias the analysis was performed only on the MMRd cases, MMRp samples were not included in the analysis. Data extraction The following information was extracted: authors, lesion type, specimen type, hospital(s) and country/countries of specimen inclusion, dates ...
