 Mean Qanadli scores were 12.6 and 10 in the reports by Apfaltrer et al.34 and Araoz et al.17 respectively while in our study it was 19.37.
Sample text:```The admission assessment included determining the risk factors for cerebral infarction,13,14 clinical ischemic stroke category (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke1), and disease severity using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale.15

Abbreviations
AF = Atrial fibrillation
LAA = Left atrial appendage
LAA eV = LAA emptying flow velocity
LAD = Left atrial dimension
LAWV = LAA peak wall velocity
ROC = Receiver operating characteristic
SEC = Spontaneous echocardiographic contrast
TEE = Transesophageal echocardiography
TTE = Transthoracic echocardiography
We defined patients who had no histories of AF and no documented AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as the sinus rhythm group, patients who had histories of AF before admission and/or continuously documented AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as having chronic AF, and patients who had AF at admission and recovered to normal sinus rhythm during hospitalization and/or showed sinus rhythm at admission and documented transient AF on continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during hospitalization as having paroxysmal AF.```

Sample text:```Consistent with our results, there was no significant association of 25(OH)D and mortality in a 3-year follow-up study of 230 Chinese patients with a median peritoneal dialysis duration of 26 months [7].```
Sample intent: result



Sample text:```Trials were considered eligible if they satisfied the following inclusion criteria: (1) RCTs comparing RIC versus no conditioning in patients with AMI; (2) patients were treated by primary PCI or thrombolysis; (3) RIC was induced by intermittent limb ischemia–reperfusion; and (4) trials at least reported one of the following outcome measures, including enzymatic myocardial infarction size as assessed by serum peak creatine```
Sample intent: background



Sample text:```Our results on working memory performance are similar to those of earlier studies (e.g. Archbold et al., 2009; Cosentino et al., 2008; Naegele et al., 2006) in showing impaired working memory in the OSA group.```

Sample text:```For monitoring purposes, the investigator also determined the polyp score (PS) based on the size of polyps at the first and last visits [14].```
Sample intent: background



Sample text:```We used longitudinal sequence samples for 15 patients from two independent studies [13,22].```

Sample text:```These are in keeping with earlier studies on the steadystate response (2, 5, 8), step-function response, (3, 5, 6, 14) and sinusoidal response ( 14) of the various vascular beds.```

Sample text:```Our results confi rm previous studies that reached the same conclusion (Boushey et al 1994; Vermeulen et al 2000; Till et al 2005; Marcucci et al 2005).```
Sample intent: result



Sample text:```The items are internally consistent and reproducible and the questionnaire may therefore be considered to have at least as favourable levels of reliability as clinical scores used to assess outcomes (Koran 1975).```

Sample text:```In this study, the proposed method is based on atrial activity extraction using an echo state network (ESN) re­ cently introduced as a unified solution to the problem of QRST cancellation in the presence of substantial variation in beat morphology and/or occasional ectopic beats [7].```
Sample intent: background



Sample text:```For example, we have shown that a depressive mood state and poor quality of life are less likely in elderly individuals who meet empirical minimum standards of habitual physical activity: >4,000 steps/day or >5 min/day at an intensity ≥3 metabolic equivalents (METs; Yasunaga et al., 2006; Yoshiuchi et al., 2006).```
