Bland-Altman Plot for Examiner A (Trial 1) vs. Examiner A (Trial 2).

<p>Figure 4 corresponds to intra – examiner agreement and shows that only 5.4% of all the readings done by Examiner A fell outside the 95% agreement limits.</p

Scatter Plot: Intra-examiner agreement (Examiner A).

<p>Figure 1 presents overall scatter of the data corresponding to the intra – examiner agreement for Examiner A. The plot shows a good distribution of data points around the 45° degree line, indicating a high degree of correlation between Examiner A's repeat measurements.</p

Scatter Plot: Inter-examiner agreement (Examiner A vs. Examiner B).

<p>Figure 3 presents overall scatter of the data corresponding to the inter – examiner agreement for both examiners. The plot shows a good distribution of data points around the 45° degree line, indicating a high degree of correlation between the measurements of the two examiners.</p

Overall mean of the bilateral paraspinal skin temperature at each spinal location.

<p>Overall mean bilateral paraspinal skin temperature was 89.78° F and ranged from 88.77° F to 91.43° F with a standard deviation of 0.59° F.</p

Bland-Altman Plot for Examiner A vs. Examiner B.

<p> Figure 6 shows the Bland-Altman plot corresponding to the inter–examiner agreement between the two examiners. On the horizontal axis is the average of the 1^st and 2^nd temperature readings and on the vertical axis, the difference between the measurements of the two examiners. The plot shows the 95% agreement limits between the measurements of the two examiners with only 5.6% of readings falling outside the 95% agreement limits.</p

Bland-Altman Plot for Examiner B (Trial 1) vs. Examiner B (Trial 2).

<p>Figure 5 corresponds to intra – examiner agreement and shows that only 4.6% of Examiner B's readings fell outside the 95% agreement limits.</p

Inter-examiner Reliability Statistics.

<p>*- CCC is adjusted for Left/Right difference and differences in Spinal Location.</p><p>@ - CCC is adjusted for Trial 1/Trial 2 difference and differences in Spinal Location.</p

Scatter Plot: Intra-examiner agreement (Examiner B).

<p>Figure 2 presents overall scatter of the data corresponding to the intra – examiner agreement for Examiner B. The plot shows a good distribution of data points around the 45° degree line, indicating a high degree of correlation between Examiner B's repeat measurements.</p

Loss of Th17, Th22, and Th17/Th22 cell function and levels are correlates and predictors of SIV persistence.

<p>Correlations between colorectal SIV-DNA content at late-ART (d. 256 p.i.) and IL-17 and IL-22 producing cell function and levels at both ART (<b>A-C</b>) and pre-ART infection (d. 58 p.i). <b>(D,E)</b>. Levels and function of the three subsets at pre-ART and after ART interruption additionally correlated with levels of blood DNA levels after ART interruption (d. 440 p.i.) <b>(F-I)</b>. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were measured for all plots except for 8E, which required Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.</p
