Most code, though, is not write once and ignore. So it does matter if its crap, because every piece of software is only as good as its least dependency.
Fine for just you. Not fine for others, not fine for business, not fine the moment you star count starts moving.
1. The correction doesn’t invalidate that previous study at all
2. I fail to see how the previous study is an “underpinning” of the new paper. The new paper is a chemistry paper about dissociation of GBCAs in the presence of certain chemicals. Maybe people care because it is a potential explanation for toxicity, but the paper is very focused on the chemistry findings.
It is underpinning, as it is the most frequently cited in the entire paper.
It is underpinning, as the claims in both introduction and conclusion are precipitate to it.
The correction:
> After personal communication with the radiologists the administered Gd-contained contrast agent was documented in the MR examination reports of the mentioned nine patients incompletely and inexactly as Gd–DTPA by themselves. There is solely one MR contrast agent used in the described observation period: Gd–DTPA–BMA. Therefore, all mentioned nine patients received Gd–DTPA–BMA and not Gd–DTPA.
Means that Gd-DTPA is irrelevant. Guess which is analysed here?
I’m not a specialist so I can’t comment on how significant that is.
We generally don’t use the compounds that cause NSF, which is one reason why the 2006 paper link you provided may not reflect the agents under current study.
I don't think we've attempted to study if rats have internal monolgues all that much, yet. It wouldn't surprise me if they did, or did not. I wouldn't say it is safe to assume they don't.
About the only real animal model has shown that some species of monkey probably do. [0]
