• The reliability and validity of a ten-item subset (the mini-DUHP) of the DUHP was examined for 71 white adults with a profile of high stressful life changes and weak social supports [22].
• In order to overcome the problems associated with reproducibility of results when performing multiple assays of chemotaxis, especially when sera of widely differing activity are encountered in the screening procedure, we have used a "batching" system and a simple method of presenting the results so that they are comparable [23].

Anatomical context of Reproducibility of Results

• OBJECTIVES: To estimate the test-retest reliability and validity of the Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI) and to test whether the CAHAI was more sensitive to change in upper-limb function than the Impairment Inventory of the Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment (CMSA) and the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) [24].
• A good reliability and validity was found for the algometer in recording the PPT in the masticatory muscles [25].
